====== Fedora Installation Guide ======
Based on [[http://www.clearfoundation.com/component/option,com_kunena/Itemid,232/catid,40/func,view/id,25951/|Clear Foundation's Howto]]
==== Prerequisites ====
* Update your system yum update
* Make sure you install rmpfusion packages free and non-free from: http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration/ Just click on Fedora x (your release) and install via Software manager.
* Next up, check your java is installed by running yum install java-1.7.0-openjdk
(newest release at time of writing this page) FIXME Java 8 required now
* Then install ffmpeg with yum install ffmpeg
**For ffmpeg on Fedora 20**
rpm -Uvh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release.rpm
yum install gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-plugins-bad-free-extras gstreamer-plugins-bad-nonfree gstreamer-plugins-ugly gstreamer-ffmpeg ffmpeg mencoder ffmpeg2theora mplayer libdvdcss
==== 1.Download Serviio ====
wget http://download.serviio.org/releases/serviio-1.2.1-linux.tar.gz
==== 2.Extract Serviio ====
tar -C /opt -zxvf serviio-1.2.1-linux.tar.gz
mv /opt/serviio-1.2.1 /opt/serviio
==== 3.Create Serviio's user ====
useradd -d /opt/serviio -r serviio
chown -R serviio:serviio /opt/serviio
==== 4a.Fedora >= 15 - Systemd script ====
Create the systemd script /lib/systemd/system/serviio.service with the following code: (If content library is available via nfs or cifs, add remote-fs.target in After=)
[Unit]
Description=Start the serviio DLNA server in headless mode
After=local-fs.target network.target
[Service]
Type=simple
User=root
ExecStart=/opt/serviio/bin/serviio.sh
ExecStop=/opt/serviio/bin/serviio.sh -stop
Restart=on-abort
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
I used user "root" to run serviio, I found that when adding disks etc. later on, or migrating disks from other distro's that serviio does not update the library, because of the file permissions. So this is what I did, there are more than one way to handle those permissions.
==== 4b.Fedora <= 14 - Init.d script ====
Create the initscript /etc/init.d/serviio with the following code:
#! /bin/sh
#
# chkconfig 35 85 15
# description: Start the serviio DLNA server in headless mode
### BEGIN INIT INFO

# Required-Start: $network
# Required-Stop: $network

### END INIT INFO

[ $(id -u) = 0 ] || exit 4
# Check if SERVIIO_HOME exists
test -d "$SERVIIO_HOME" || exit 5
# Check if SERVIIO_BIN is executable
test -x "$SERVIIO_BIN" || exit 5
}
start() {

echo -n "Starting Serviio DLNA server: "

RETVAL=$?
if [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ]; then
touch /var/lock/subsys/serviio.sh
echo_success

echo_failure
fi
echo
return $RETVAL
}
stop() {
check
echo -n "Shutting down Serviio DLNA daemon: "
# Retrieve JAVA Serviio process ID
PIDDAEMON=`pgrep $SERVIIO_DAEMON`
[ -z "$PIDDAEMON" ] || PIDJAVA=`ps -o pid= --ppid $PIDDAEMON`
# Kill the daemon
killproc "$SERVIIO_BIN"
RETVAL=$?
[ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && rm -f /var/lock/subsys/serviio.sh
echo
# Kill the JAVA Serviio process if exists
[ -z "$PIDJAVA" ] || kill -9 $PIDJAVA
return $RETVAL
}
restart() {
