UPnP/DLNA-Server Serviio for OmniOS (napp-it addon)

[zos]

After having a few tries to install Serviio on OmniOS it's finally working now.

I've created a first draft for an installer-script, which you can test now.

Prerequisites:
- Java (should be included in OmniOS basic installation)
- napp-it
- AMP (Apache, MySQL, PHP)

You can install Serviio by submitting:
wget -O - www.napp-it.org/serviio | perl

The installer-script creates a new BootEnvironment so it will be easy for you to restore the last working state in case of problems.

What you'll get:
Serviio 1.4.1.2
ffmpeg2 (needed for Serviio)
dcraw (needed for Serviio)
WebUI for Serviio 1.4 (php based)

I'm using Joyent's repo for installing ffmpeg2 and dcraw. Unfortunately ffmpeg2 was compiled without support for librtmp, so rtmp-streams will not work.

After the installer has finished you can access serviio-console by entering

http://<your-server-IP>/phpserviio

in your preferred browser. IF anybody will find bugs, please report here.

Just found a litte problem. The installer sets two wrong softlinks:

ln -s /opt/local/bin/ffmpeg2 /opt/local/share/ffmpeg
ln -s /opt/local/bin/dcraw /opt/local/share/dcraw

This results in video files are not shown (only pics and music).

If anybody already has installed Serviio using my installer, you can set the right softlinks by entering:

ln -s /opt/local/bin/ffmpeg2 /opt/local/share/serviio/ffmpeg
ln -s /opt/local/bin/dcraw /opt/local/share/serviio/dcraw

You can temporarily use the following statement to install Serviio until gea has uploaded the newest version of the installer to napp-it.org:

wget -O - www.wp10455695.server-he.de/serviio | perl

Thanks
I have uploaded 0.2 to napp-it.org.

If anybody is interested in using other locale settings than en_US-UTF-8 like e.g. german (de_DE-UTF-8) or french (fr_FR-UTF-8) etc. just edit the file

/opt/local/share/serviio/bin/serviio.sh

and add your prefered locale at the beginning of the file (before DIRNAME), e.g. for italian:

LANG=it_IT.UTF-8;
export LANG;

save it and restart serviio-service by entering

svcadm disable serviio
svcadm enable serviio

After refreshing your media-libs in serviio's web-frontend, serviio will show also media-files with local characters in its names.

I have installed on my OmniOS the AMP and Serviio add ons as instructed on the Napp-it.org website, using root user account(as that is the only user account I use for accessing OmniOS).
I use it solely as a fileserver up till now, and I want to add the Serviio media server to it.

When firing up http://<ServerIP>/phpserviio from my Windows desktop, I get the response
"403
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /phpserviio on this server.
"
During setup of Serviio I have not been able to set any access or security settings.

Where did I go wrong with this installation and how can I correct it?

BTW
phpmyadmin is accessible from the same Windows desktop.

Thank you for your support

ignore previous question, managed to solve it myself.
Noticed the error was do to not installing the the WEBGUI for serviio.
This was caused by the fact that OMNIOS could not certify the certificate from github.

Solved it by adapting the serviio install script by adding the --no-check-certificate option to the wget serviio statement.

Thanks for looking

Cheers

My Serviio on Omnios is not showing up on my renderers.
I have tried using Popcorn NMT, Oppo BDP-83, JRiver MC, Foobar UPnP Browser.

My feeling is something is being blocked, but I use a default bog standard OmniOS installation. Does Serviio require additional network/authorisation changes to make the Serviio visible?

thank you for your support

Hi AlEg,

I haven't done special OmniOS settings to run Serviio and to make it visible for my renderers.

So first check if serviio service is running (you can check/start/stop service also on the "Status"-tab if you enter <serverip>/phpserviio, but I prefer the command line):
svcs | grep serviio

You should get a result like this:
online 14:56:35 svc:/application/UPnP-AV/serviio:default

If not, start service with:
svcadm enable serviio

Have you done some initial settings like adding a library (<serverip>/phpserviio, see "Library"-tab / "Shared Folders"-tab), including to set checkboxes for Movies/Pics/Music/Docs and finally, very important, klicking the "Save"-Button on the right-hand side?

Are there renderers shown in the "Status"-tab / "Renderer Profile"-tab?
