This is an old revision of the document!
Tested and working without any issues, log warnings, etc. with Serviio 1.5.1
When entering commands, change Username “Lisa” to your own username.
Let's get started…
#java 8 install:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer
#Add the FFMPEG repositories and install FFMPEG
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:jon-severinsson/ffmpeg -y sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
#serviio 1.5 download and extract:
wget http://download.serviio.org/releases/serviio-1.5.1-linux.tar.gz sudo tar xzf serviio-1.5-linux.tar.gz
#Rename container and move the directory
mv serviio-1.5.1 serviio sudo mv serviio /usr/local/share/
#Create the script that will launch the Serviio service at boot
sudo gedit
Paste this into the new text file:
start on started networking script /usr/local/share/serviio/bin/serviio.sh end script
Save the file as “serviio.conf” and save it inside this directory: /etc/init/
Close gedit
#Assign executable permissions
sudo chown -R Lisa:Lisa /usr/local/share/serviio/
#Start the service for the first time
sudo start serviio
#Start the configuration UI
sudo /usr/local/share/serviio/bin/serviio-console.sh
#Create a launcher on the Desktop that will launch the configuration UI (when you need to change settings)
Right click the desktop “create new launcher” and set the path as
“gksudo /usr/local/share/serviio/bin/serviio-console.sh”
Enjoy!
The Serviio service will launch automatically from now on when you start your computer (You will not see the Serviio icon in the systray from now on but you can verify if the service is running with:
initctl list | grep serviio
