 ====== Ubuntu Server Installation Guide ======

+----
 ==== Prerequisites ====
-  * Java<code>apt-get install default-jre</code>
+  * Java
-  * FFmpeg<code>apt-get install ffmpeg libavcodec-extra-53 libavformat-extra-53</code>
+    You need Java version 8 or later.  To find out what version you have type:<code>java -version</code>
+Confusingly you are looking for a version of 1.8 or later.  If you don't have this then you will need to install it.  There are more ways of installing Java on your system than I want to articulate here, but if you just want Serviio to work then the following is a good solution:<code>sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
+sudo apt-get update
+sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer</code>
+  * FFmpeg
+<code>sudo apt-get install ffmpeg libavcodec-extra-53 libavformat-extra-53</code>
+<note tip>FFmpeg is [[https://askubuntu.com/questions/432542/is-ffmpeg-missing-from-the-official-repositories-in-14-04|replaced]] by avconv</note>
+  * workaround for missing FFmpeg
+<code>sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mc3man/trusty-media</code>
+<code>sudo apt-get update</code>
+<code>sudo apt-get install ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg</code>
+  * dcraw for digital pictures
+<code>sudo apt-get install dcraw</code>
 ==== 1.Download Serviio ====
-<code>wget http://download.serviio.org/releases/serviio-1.0.1-linux.tar.gz</code>
+Always check what the latest version is on the website, it is currently 1.6.1 and update accordingly
+Here is link to serviio.org download page.
+http://www.serviio.org/download
+<code>wget http://download.serviio.org/releases/serviio-1.6.1-linux.tar.gz</code>
 ==== 2.Extract Serviio ====
-<code>tar xvf serviio-1.0.1-linux.tar.gz
+<code>tar xvf serviio-1.6.1-linux.tar.gz
 </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_BW.utf8
+en_CA.utf8
+en_DK.utf8
+en_GB.utf8
+en_HK.utf8
+en_IE.utf8

+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:

+==== Fixing multicast on Linux hosts ====
+On Linux hosts it could be that you need to set up [[http://forum.serviio.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=415&p=2843#p2837|multicast]] to let Serviio work correctly
+To do this, add following line to /etc/network/interfaces:
+<note important>Replace eth0 with the [[http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-list-network-interfaces-names-command/|name of the network interface]]</note>
+<code>up route add -net 239.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 dev eth0</code>
-==== 4.Enabling Remote Console Access From Windows (credit to forum member tvkdlna) ====
-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

+==== Making Serviio's MediaBrowser accessible via the web ====
+<note>Instructions given are tested on an Ubuntu Server running Apache 2.4</note>
+Usually you go to http://localhost:23424/mediabrowser to access the MediaBrowser. It is possible to make something like http://www.your-example-domain.com/media. This is done with Apache's ProxyPass.
+Enable proxy module
+<code>a2enmod proxy</code>
+Make a new Apache configuration file
+<code>nano /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/001-serviio.conf</code>
+Put this inside
+<code><Location /media>
+Require all granted
+ProxyPass http://localhost:23424/mediabrowser
+ProxyPassReverse http://localhost:23424/mediabrowser
+</Location>
+<Location /cds>
+Require all granted
+ProxyPass http://localhost:23424/cds
+ProxyPassReverse http://localhost:23424/cds
+</Location></code>
+Enable the new configuration and reload your configuration
+<code>
+a2ensite 001-serviio
+service apache reload
+</code>
+==== Setting up a password ====
+Go to <ip-address of the server>:23423/console/ and use this console to set up a password.
