Headless Serviio on Ubuntu

Let me preface this by saying I am a newbie. I have recently installed a headless Serviio on my ubuntu 12.04 server, it starts fine, but when I try to access it from the Media Browser I cannot get past the password. The error is "Unable to login, please check your password and try again". Most the posts I have read say you have to have the license installed to use the UI remotely. I have a Pro license but since there is no access to the UI, how do I install it?

I tried to use curl -i -H "Content-Type: plain/text; Accept: application/json" -X PUT "http://127.0.0.1:23423/rest/license-upload" -T /tmp/Serviio_7my long number28.lic to install the license and received this:

I enabled debugging in the log file. Here's the output from serviio.log:

Curiously, ServiiDroid reports a valid license

The correct ports are open on the router, I previously had Serviio running on a Win 7 machine with no issues. the location of my installation is in /var/www/serviio-1.2.1.

So the questions are, how do I add the license, how can I change the user and how do I confirm the password is correct or change the password to allow me to use Media Browser?

You can check on the license status by going to http://SERVER_IP:23423/rest/application as the log won't show the pro licence until you restart the server.

As you have ServiiDroid, go to advanced options click on Remote Settings->User Password, ServiiDroid can change every setting that the console can. If ServiiDroid says you have a valid licence including your name and email under advanced, licence, then you have a valid licence. If the licence isn't valid, then you can upload it using ServiiDroid, but the curl command you posted should have done the trick.

Otherwise you use the php webui or install just the console on your pc and point it to the server (http://www.serviio.org/component/conten ... e?id=21#q2)

Thanks for the quick response. The license is installed correctly and confirmed as suggested. I still cannot connect remotely. I changed to password with ServiiDroid. Can it possibly be an ownership issue? How can I add users to the Media Browser? I see root is the default, how can I check to see if root is the owner?

There is no user for MediaBrowser/ServiiGo so just the one password. If you can view the website/start the server, I doubt its a permissions problem with the filesystem.

Can you post a log of you trying to log in? What does MediaBrowser say when you log in? Which browser are you using?

Thanks, I am using Firefox 21.0,
Media Browser message:" Unable to login, please check your password and try again"

Update:

After playing around with the settings using ServiiDroid, it is now working okay. I changed the password several times and then cleared the browser cache. This seemed to do the trick. Thanks for your help.

Thats odd, guess the password must have been wrong. Glad its working now though.

Seeing as you have a pro licence, and and android device, be sure to check out ServiiGo (native Android version of MediaBrowser) on Google Play.
