-====== Ubuntu 12.04 Installation Guide ======
+<note important>This guide assumes you've installed a fresh (default) installation of Ubuntu 12.04.5 and assumes you have two storage devices - one for the OS and one for your media. I choose Ubuntu 12.04.5 as newer versions of Ubuntu (at the time of writing this) have some nasty VNC and SAMBA bugs (personally, I hate workarounds).</note>
-==== Prerequisites ====
+<note warning>
-For Ubuntu 12.05 , the ffmpeg should be installed from the terminal. Moreover, additional codecs and libraries should be installed to ensure flawless operation of Serviio. Recommend you do the following using Terminal:
+NOTE: If you plan on using SAMBA to share media you need to be aware of some SAMBA bugs in Ubuntu 12.04.5. If you set your NIC(s) to use a static IP address SAMBA will not function properly. Use a DHCP reservation (via router) instead.</note>
-== Install missing codecs (including latest Lame): ==
+Tested and working without any issues, log warnings, etc. with Serviio 1.5.
-<code>sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras</code>
+When entering commands, change <username> to whatever usename you have (but not root!).
-== Install DVD playback libraries: ==
-<code>sudo apt-get install libdvdread4</code>
-<code>sudo wget --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/$(lsb_release -cs).list
-sudo apt-get --quiet update
-sudo apt-get --yes --quiet --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring
-sudo apt-get --quiet update</code>
-<code>sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2</code>
-== Install ffmpeg: ==
-<code>sudo apt-get install libxine1-ffmpeg gxine mencoder mpeg2dec vorbis-tools id3v2 mpg321 mpg123 libflac++6 ffmpeg totem-mozilla icedax tagtool easytag id3tool lame nautilus-script-audio-convert libmad0 libjpeg-progs flac faac faad sox ffmpeg2theora libmpeg2-4 uudeview flac libmpeg3-1 mpeg3-utils mpegdemux liba52-0.7.4-dev libquicktime2</code>
-== Install Gstreamer: ==
+Let's get started...

-==== 1.Download Serviio  (credit to forum member NOTOC) ====
+#openssh-server install, run this in terminal via GUI
-<code>wget http://download.serviio.org/releases/serviio-1.1-linux.tar.gz</code>
+<code>sudo apt-get install openssh-server</code>
-==== 2.Extract Serviio ====
+#bandwidth tracking application (to be responsible about ISP usage):
-<code>tar xvf serviio-1.0.1-linux.tar.gz
+#run through terminal every once in a while to see bandwidth usage and realtime traffic
+<code>sudo apt-get install vnstat iftop</code>
+#base codec install - installs dependancies used in ffmpeg and x264:
+<code>apt-get install dcraw libfaac-dev libjack-jackd2-dev libmp3lame-dev libopencore-amrnb-dev libopencore-amrwb-dev libsdl1.2-dev libtheora-dev libva-dev libvdpau-dev libvorbis-dev libx11-dev libxfixes-dev texi2html zlib1g-dev libssl1.0.0 libssl-dev libxvidcore-dev libxvidcore4 libass-dev librtmp-dev</code>
+<note warning>Installing newer git obtainable versions of ffmpeg break Serviio's transcoding functions (cause stuttering, player disconnections, poor quality video, etc.).</note>
+#custom serviio version of ffmpeg install (compiled by me), always use Petr's (Serviio developer) customized version of ffmpeg to ensure proper serviio function:
+<code>cd /tmp
+wget http://webclaw.info/downloads/serviio-1.5/ffmpeg_201502201629-git-1_amd64.deb
+wget http://webclaw.info/downloads/serviio-1.5/x264_0.144.2525+git40bb568-1_amd64.deb
+wget http://webclaw.info/downloads/serviio-1.5/rtmpdump_201502201618-git-1_amd64.deb</code>
+#install the custom serviio packages:
+<code>sudo dpkg -i ffmpeg_201502201629-git-1_amd64.deb
+sudo dpkg -i x264_0.144.2525+git40bb568-1_amd64.deb
+sudo dpkg -i rtmpdump_201502201618-git-1_amd64.deb
 </code>
-==== 3.Serviio as a Startup Applications ====
-Add Serviio server as a startup application.
-==== 4.Enabling Remote Console Access From Windows (credit to forum member tvkdlna) ====
+#java 8 install:
-Edit C:\Program Files\Serviio\bin\ServiioConsole.exe.vmoptions adding:
+<code>sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
-<code>-Dserviio.remoteHost=XXX.XXX.X.XXX</code>
+sudo apt-get update
-Replacing XXX.XXX.X.XXX with the IP Address of the remote server
+sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer
+</code>
+#serviio 1.5 download:
+<code>wget http://download.serviio.org/releases/serviio-1.5.1-linux.tar.gz
+tar xzf serviio-1.5-linux.tar.gz</code>
+#we keep everything neat and organized on our user profile directory:
+<code>mkdir /home/<username>/Programs
+cp -r serviio-1.5.1 /home/<username>/Programs</code>
+#make serviio start automatically after network is active:
+<code>sudo nano /etc/init/serviio.conf</code>
+#add startup script:
+<code>start on started networking
+script
+/home/<username>/Programs/serviio-1.5.1/bin/serviio.sh
+end script
+</code>
+#latest sabnzbd install
+<code>sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jcfp/ppa
+sudo apt-get update
+sudo apt-get install sabnzbdplus<code>
+#edit sabnzbd configuration:
+<code>sudo nano /etc/default/sabnzbdplus</code>
+#add proper configuration:
+<code>USER=<username>
+HOST=0.0.0.0
+</code>
+#Couchpotato installation:
+<code>cd /home/<username>/Programs
+sudo apt-get install git
+git clone https://github.com/RuudBurger/CouchPotatoServer.git
+sudo cp /home/<username>/Programs/CouchPotatoServer/init/ubuntu.default /etc/default/couchpotato</code>
+#setup couchpotato default config:
+<code>sudo nano /etc/default/couchpotato
+CP_USER=<username>
+CP_HOME=/home/<username>/Programs/CouchPotatoServer</code>
+#make couchpotato start when user logs into the system:
+<code>sudo ln -s /home/<username>/Programs/CouchPotatoServer/init/ubuntu /etc/init.d/couchpotato
+sudo update-rc.d couchpotato defaults</code>
+#SickRage installation - I suggest using dev version once installed (supports more indexers):
+<code>git clone git://github.com/echel0n/SickRage.git</code>
+#setup sickbeard default config:
+<code>sudo nano /etc/default/sickbeard
+SB_USER=<username>
+SB_HOME=/home/<username>/Programs/SickRage</code>
+#make sickrage start when user logs into the system
+<code>sudo ln -s /home/<username>/Programs/SickRage/init.ubuntu /etc/init.d/sickbeard
+sudo update-rc.d sickbeard defaults</code>
+#create media storage using gparted (aligns disk correctly, Ubuntu 12.04.5 native Disk utility does not):
+<note important>Disks which are not aligned properly perform very poorly and can cause Serviio to stutter / jitter when transcoding!</note>
+<code>sudo apt-get install gparted</code>
+#select your disk (eg: sdb) can create a partition table, format as ext4:
+#now let's mount the new storage:
+<code>sudo mkdir /media/storage</code>
+#automatically mount storage after a reboot:
+<code>sudo nano -Bw /etc/fstab
+/dev/sdb1       /media/storage  ext4    defaults        0       2
+</code>
+#remount the storage so we can take ownership:
+<code>sudo mount -a
+sudo chown -R <username>:<username> /media/storage</code>
+#reboot to make our changes effective:
+<code>sudo reboot -n</code>
+Create directories on storage as required (you can do this via the GUI) on /media/storage/
+> data > movies
+> data > television
+transcoding
+downloads
+downloads > completed
+> downloads > movies
+> downloads > television
+<note important>Downloads go into downloads folder and once complete the applicable sudirectory (by sabNZBd) then are post-processed / moved to "data > movies" or "data > television"</note>
+#run the Serviio console to define what media is to be shared and set transcoding directory:
+#defemine media storage location as the transcoding dump for Serviio hence the transcoding directory (eg: /media/storage/trancoding)
+<code>
+cd /home/<username>/Programs/serviio-1.5/bin
+sudo ./serviio-console.sh
+</code>
+Via GUI and enable file sharing (right click on directory) - you'll be asked to install 2 packages (samba and libpasswd - an automatic process), just click install. I would enable guest access (but not RW access) other other players that don't require transcoding can play video (eg: KODI).
+#reboot is required for shares to work.
+<code>sudo reboot -n</code>
+#if not done already, enable port forwarding (your router) as follows:
+#crappy routers additionally require you turn on UPNP and enable IPv4 multicast support.
+MediaBrowser: <LAN-IP>:23424 (UDP + TCP)
+SickRage: <LAN-IP>:8081 (TCP)
+sabNZBd: <LAN-IP>:8080 (TCP)
+Couchpotato: <LAN-IP>:5050 (TCP)
-~~ElToro1966~~
+LAN computers can access your shares via:
+Windows: \\<LAN-IP> or \\<MACHINENAME>
+Linux / Mac OS: smb://<LAN-IP> or smb://<MACHINENAME>
+If you want to access services outside your LAN I strongly suggest using SSL.
