Serviio

Hello!

Anyone here managed to install serviio on a Western Digital My Book World II (White Light)? I want serviio on my NAS because serviio really rules!

What I did is:
Installed this version of java and followed his instructions.

mkdir /usr/local/serviio/
cd /usr/local/serviio/
wget http://download.serviio.org/releases/se ... nux.tar.gz
untar -xf serviio-0.5-linux.tar.gz

When I try to run serviio.sh I get the following:

perhaps my java-version not suiting for serviio? I had a look at the java DL-page,

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/ ... 35769.html

but there doesn't seem to be a java for my ARM9-processor?

It says there: "Java SE for Embedded Products - at least 70MB for Java. Devices having at least 70-80MB for Java can use the Standard Java SE platform products." Can I install this on my MyBook World? I dont know how. My Linux is not rpm-based and I don't know how to install this "bin"-package.

Thanks in advance!

looks like the .jar files in lib folder are on on the classpath for some reason

Hi!

Thanks zip for your answer but could you please be a little bit more precise? I don´t know anything about java! What do I have to change?

I installed the package jikes as mentioned above


and followed this instructions: http://www.raymeskhoury.com/blog/java-o ... d-edition/

It says there: "The MyBook comes with a pre-installed stripped down JVM (to run the mionet software which I highly recommend you disable). To make it easier to use, make a symlink:"

Thanks,
Patrice

Reading the post it looks like it's an old version of Java anyway. Also Serviio is probably using features that are not included in hte embedded version of JRE, so you'd have to install a proper Java 1.6 on there. I'm not sure if it exists, but you might check out the other topics in this forum for some help.

Any progress on this thread? I'm searching for something like u, the difference is that i want to install serviio on my book live edition.

Thanks

I use to do alot of playing around with a MBWE White light and I think it would be too slow and unreliable to run Serviio. I cannot count how many times I had to reload the firmware because MBWE could not take any kind of power without corrupting something on the MBWE. Plus I do not think the processor or the Net card is powerful enough to stream video. I know when I was copying files it was very very slow.

I use media server TwonkyServer over network. Seems to work with my wd tv player but when i try to play something on my samsung tv it doesn't work keep saying "invalid codecs" on my mkv movies... With serviion on my pc i do not have this problem.. So i want, if it is possible, install serviion on my book live edition..

THanks

I will try and go back through my favorites and see if I can find the old sites I use to go to for the MBWE. If I remember right there was a way to install a better java. I will look and see what I can find.

I will be thankful.

I did a quick search and found a site I use to go to alot and followed some links on installing different hardware on the MBWE. I found that they have gotten Debian working on the MBWE. Debian GNU/Linux is a free distribution of the GNU/Linux operating system.

With Debian I think you can update to Sun Java 1.6 .

Here is a link to upgrade your MBWE to debian by overwritting the current harddrive.

Here is a way to install Debian on a seperate harddrive.

I think I will have to dig my MBWE out and get a new harddrive and try this new system out. I have been looking for a server for my parents house.

I am using Twonky successfully on my samsung LE40c650. So it should work with serviio concerning cpu and bandwith capacity.
I edited the clients.db of my twonkyserver on my NAS with the following:



Before perhaps you will have to upgrade to twonky6 (i did it successfully on my WD MyBook)

Thanks but my book live already have debian..

i will try it.. by the way!
do have any problems with twonky licence? can u play mkv videos with subtitles on your samsung tv?

I bought a license for Twonky6 (15€ i think it was). Serviio supports external srt with samsung. Twonky not (i think). And: I incline to use a USB-HDD. The Samsung media-player supports chapters, resume(!), language-selecting (at least with vobs), much faster cueing - all this is missing with twonky dlna. And: My twonky on my NAS sometimes just crashes during playback or even more while cueing (sucks!)

The problem is that i onle have this drive, i don't have any usb.

I install serviion on my home server and it work fine in both wd tv live and my samsung tv. I want to install it on my my book live.. It is possible?

Sorry for reviving an old thread, but I would like to do the same. Any development on this?

Tried myself at it using the WD live procedure. First to answer the OP original issue with java:
I did some research on that processor:

My guess was this meant it used ARMv5 and not ARMv( like you tough). So I went on and tried to install that version. What I did is unpack the files and add them to PATH (no sure how I should write this but I think you get the point). Then when I tried to start to start the script, and it told me it couldn't find the files in /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre. My next try was to simply copy the whole folder I had extracted there.
It than work:

I stopped it there. Then I had to make it run at start. That's where i'm stuck for today. The guide seems to be made for debian, so it will probably be easier if I try to install that instead. I think I've found some guide on that too while searching.
If anyone has an idea what I should do next i'm sure we would both be really glad
