Serviio Wiki

This page is read only. You can view the source, but not change it. Ask your administrator if you think this is wrong.
1) Go to http://mybooklive/UI/ssh (case sensitive) replace "mybooklive" if you have renamed it to something else, or replace it with its IP address. It's a hidden UI menu to enable SSH.
Then select Settings->Media-> and turn of Twonky
Under Settings->System->Updates-> Turn off Automatic Updates. 

2) Log in to through SSH by the IP for the device, then Install Optware

<code>
wget http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/local--files/optware/setup-mybooklive.sh
sh setup-mybooklive.sh
echo "export PATH=$PATH:/opt/bin:/opt/sbin:." >> /root/.bashrc
echo "export PATH=$PATH:/opt/bin:/opt/sbin:." >> /etc/profile
logout
</code>

Log back into the SSH

3) Test Optware and install a simple text editor

<code>
ipkg update
ipkg install nano
nano
</code>

A basic editor opens, hit ctrl-x to close.

4) Install Core-Utils

<code>
ipkg install coreutils
ln -s /opt/bin/coreutils-dirname /usr/bin/dirname
</code>

5) Install Java

<code>
apt-get update
apt-get install --allow-unauthenticated debian-keyring
apt-get install --allow-unauthenticated debian-archive-keyring
apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk
java -version
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre
</code>

6) Install Serviio and setup user account to run the program

<code>
useradd serviio
passwd serviio
usermod -a -G root serviio

mkdir /usr/local/serviio/
cd /usr/local/serviio/
wget http://download.serviio.org/releases/serviio-0.6.1-linux.tar.gz
tar -xf serviio-0.6.1-linux.tar.gz
</code>

7) Launch Serviio as a test

<code>
cd serviio-0.6.1/bin
serviio.sh
</code>

You will be at a blank line, it appears like nothing is happening, yet the server is starting. One way to confirm is to open another ssh window, log in and run 

<code>
tail -f /usr/local/serviio/serviio-0.6.1/log/serviio.log
</code>
This will show a live output of the serviio log file. When you are satisfied that it's launching, hit ctrl-c in both ssh windows.

8) Setup Daemon to launch serviio upon bootup of your MyBook Live.
8a) create serviiod

<code>
nano /etc/default/serviiod
</code>

Copy following code, the service account is the name of the account we created in step 6. Also, the Daemon is the path to the serviio.sh file, update if you use a different version/location.

<code>

8b) create serviio

<code>

Paste the following code.

8c) Set files to launch on startup

<code>
chown serviio -R /usr/local/serviio
chmod 755 /etc/init.d/serviio
update-rc.d serviio defaults</code>

Reboot MyBook Live. Check status when back up by using either the tail command above, or 

<code>
/etc/init.d/serviio status</code>

9) Install Updated version of FFMPEG
9a) Update sources.list to include a multimedia repository

<code>
nano /etc/apt/sources.list</code>
Add the following line to the file and save.

<code>
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org stable main</code>

9b) Finish Installation

<code>
apt-get update
apt-get install --allow-unauthenticated debian-multimedia-keyring
apt-get remove ffmpeg x264 libx264-dev libvpx-dev librtmp0 librtmp-dev
apt-get install ffmpeg</code>

10) Access server through the console, use http://www.serviio.org/component/content/article/21#q2 as a reference. With respect to Mac, when entering the property, I placed the tags within the 3rd <dict> section, the one located after the property key.

11) Two other commands to stop or start the service when signed into the ssh, though you could use the console to do the same.

<code>
/etc/init.d/serviio start
/etc/init.d/serviio stop</code>
