====== Ubuntu Server Installation Guide ======
Based on [[http://www.bigfatostrich.com/2011/08/serviio-media-center-on-debian/|bigfatostrich's Howto]] and Forum members contributions
==== Prerequisites ====
  * Java<code>apt-get install default-jre</code>
  * FFmpeg<code>apt-get install ffmpeg libavcodec-extra-53 libavformat-extra-53</code>
  * dcraw for digital pictures<code>apt-get install dcraw</code>
==== 1.Download Serviio ====
Always check what the latest version is on the website, it is currently 1.2.1 and update accordingly
Here is link to serviio.org download page.
http://www.serviio.org/download
<code>wget http://download.serviio.org/releases/serviio-1.2.1-linux.tar.gz</code>
==== 2.Extract Serviio ====
<code>tar xvf serviio-1.2.1-linux.tar.gz
</code>
==== 3.Ubuntu Server Startup Script (credit to forum member jonolafur) ====
Create and save the following script in the directory /etc/init/ and call it serviio.conf
<code>start on started networking
script
   /<path-to-serviio>/serviio.sh
end script</code>

and replace <path-to-serviio> with the actual path to your serviio installation.

If any problems should arise with the system locales, a specific locale can be added to the script right before the path to serviio.

<code>start on started networking
script
   LANG=da_DK.utf8 /<path-to-serviio>/serviio.sh
end script</code>

The system specific locale can be found using the following command.

<code>locale -a</code>This should yeild a list like this.
<code>$ locale -a
C
C.UTF-8
da_DK.utf8
en_AG
en_AG.utf8
en_AU.utf8
en_BW.utf8
en_CA.utf8
en_DK.utf8
en_GB.utf8
en_HK.utf8
en_IE.utf8
</code>
Replace "LANG=da_DK.UTF8" in the script with the desired locale.

The upstart system now starts the serviio server as soon as all networking jobs have been started:

<code>sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart</code>

If you need it to start earlier or later, please check the excellent documentation on upstart for example here:

[[http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/|Upstart Cookbook]]

You can now get a list of all jobs registered with upstart by issuing:

<code>initctl list</code>

and you should get something like:

<code>serviio start/running, process 1009</code>

if it is already running, otherwise it says:

<code>serviio stop/waiting</code>

You can start and stop the job via:

<code>sudo start serviio</code>

and

<code>sudo stop serviio</code>
==== 4.Enabling Remote Console Access From Windows (credit to forum member tvkdlna) ====
Create a firewall rule to allow TCP data on port 23423 on both the client and server

Edit C:\Program Files\Serviio\bin\ServiioConsole.exe.vmoptions adding:
<code>-Dserviio.remoteHost=XXX.XXX.X.XXX</code>
Replacing XXX.XXX.X.XXX with the IP Address of the remote server
