Serviio

Posted: **Tue Feb 21, 2017 3:49 am**

Fallowed this with ubdates http://wiki.serviio.org/doku.php?id=howto:linux:install:ubuntu15-04
Ubuntu 16.04 desktop

Code:: sudo apt-get install ffmpeg sudo apt-get install dcraw

Install Java 9. You can tell which, if any, versions are installed via:

Code:: java -version

Code:: sudo apt-get install openjdk-9-jre

There are various ways to install Serviio, but this installs it in /opt and runs it as user serviio. The useradd option -r creates a system account and does not create a home directory. This will result in warnings in serviio.log, but there seems to be no ill effect. The first line logs in as root to make a few things easier

Code:: sudo -H bash useradd -r -s /bin/false serviio mkdir -p /opt cd /opt wget http://download.serviio.org/releases/serviio-1.8-linux.tar.gz tar zxvf serviio-1.8-linux.tar.gz ln -s serviio-1.8 serviio chown -R root:root serviio-1.8 cd serviio-1.8 mkdir log chown -R serviio:serviio library log

Use your favorite text editor and create /lib/systemd/system/serviio.service with:

Code:: [Unit] Description=Serviio Media Server After=syslog.target local-fs.target network.target [Service] Type=simple User=serviio Group=serviio ExecStart=/opt/serviio/bin/serviio.sh ExecStop=/opt/serviio/bin/serviio.sh -stop KillMode=none Restart=on-abort [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target

Lastly, start serviio and have it run automatically at boot via:

Code:: systemctl daemon-reload systemctl enable serviio systemctl start serviio

ok what did i miss to get this error

Install java 8, not java 9.

Posted: **Tue May 16, 2017 1:05 pm**

Hi,

Pulling out what few remaining hairs are in my head with this. I've done a fresh standalone OS install of 16.04 and followed instructions above to the letter - including using java 8 instead of 9 as instructed. Console appears in firefox and I can select folders to index but it refuses to find media. I've placed a test folder with an image, mp3 and video inside and I can select the folder for the media library but no go. Log reports for each file '<filename> cannot be read probably due to access rights.' so it can see the files are there but won't index them. I'm reasonably tech savvy but this is my first foray into linux - I presumed that following the instructions above immediately after a clean install would have resulted in success, alas no. And when I see the multitude of attributes listed under the ls -l command I find myself yearning for the good ol' days of DOS (...it was a simpler time!)

Further, I've got media on an external HDD. I've managed to successfully mount it and can see it via the desktop and command prompt but, again, cannot locate it in Serviio. I've tried creating a symlink to the external drive in a folder I can see in the serviio console but the symlink doesn't appear.

going balder by the second here.

As I'm on a windows PC at the moment I've not got access to logs but happy to post what's needed if you can give direction where to locate. Used serviio very successfully on XP for a long time so know how good it can be, really want to get this up and going on the new platform.

Thanks in advance, brilliant people!

Permissions Permissions Permissions!

Ultimately managed to resolve this issue. Permissions wouldn't stay locked in so after much trawling I found the solution here under the post entitled "Solved!"

Get your UUID and TYPE for the drive in question from this terminal command:

Code:: blkid

unmount your drive.

Edit fstab

Code:: gksu gedit /etc/fstab

At the end of the file add this on a new line which will make Store the mount point for your drive

Code:: UUID=YourDeviceUUID /media/Store YourDeviceTYPE auto,users,permissions 0 0

Save and close the file.

Create the Store directory:

Code:: sudo mkdir /media/Store

Mounting will now load the drive at the mount point specified in fstab

Code:: sudo mount /media/Store

And now you can set permissions you desire for the mounted drive and they will stick!

Code:: chmod 755 -R /media/Store

Hope this helps others out of a similar hell.

I'm off to buy a wig.

g'night!
