Sorry for my bad English is not my primary language !!!
I wanted to keep things simple and I did not want to use my PC or laptop for hosting the movies or downloading torrents because is a hassle to turn them on and off and then the power consumption, the biggest problem was the convenience of controlling everything from the TV remote.
After two days of searching I got nowhere so I decided to think and put them together.
My network config:
- My book Live 1Tb (from eBay got it cheap) thinking that was the only solution that I can afford and has a decant processor to do transcoding. MyBookLive 02.41.05-034 : Core F/W
- My rooter is a Linksys E3200 running DD-WRT v24-sp2 (02/11/13) mega - build 20675
- KDL-40HX751 3D TV latest firmware.
Visio diagram:
I'm using the Open PS2 Loader to load games from network and My book Live had an older version of Samba, that is the file sharing server for Linux and the shares cannot be accessed from the PS2.
Ok let's start configuring the my book live:
First be sure that you have the latest firmware MyBookLive 02.41.05-034 : Core F/W, is better to start clean I did a reset to defaults of the OS on My book live.
Follow this tutorial for this: RESTORE DEFAULTS ON MY BOOK LIVE
All console commands will be in RED.
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) Go to Putty and log in to your NAS via SSH (I assume that you know how to do this) optware and nano are already installed on this firmware.
Test it by typing:
code:
nano --help
3) Add necessary repositories
Code:
nano /etc/apt/sources.list
Add lines and put # in front of all that is already in the file.
Code:
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org stable main deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ sid main
4) Setup apt pinning so that stable versions are installed prior to testing and unstable versions.
Code:
nano /etc/apt/preferences
Copy the following code
Code:
Package: * Pin: release a=stable Pin-Priority: 1001 Package: * Pin: release a=testing Pin-Priority: 650 Package: * Pin: release a=unstable Pin-Priority: 600 Package: libxvidcore4 Pin: version 2:1.3.2* Pin-Priority: 1001
5) Update repository and install Keyring
Code:
apt-get update apt-get install --allow-unauthenticated debian-multimedia-keyring
6) Install ffmpeg
Code:
apt-get remove ffmpeg x264 libx264-dev libvpx-dev librtmp0 librtmp-dev apt-get update apt-get install ffmpeg ffmpeg - version
after last command you will get this screen: (ignore last line)
7) Install Java
code:
apt-get updateapt-get install --allow-unauthenticated debian-keyringapt-get install --allow-unauthenticated debian-archive-keyringapt-get install openjdk-6-jdkjava -versionexport JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-powerpc/jreexport PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-powerpc/jre
8) 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-0.6.2-linux.tar.gz
tar -xf serviio-0.6.2-linux.tar.gz
9) Launch Serviio as a test
cd serviio-0.6.2/bin
serviio.sh
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
tail -f /usr/local/serviio/serviio-0.6.2/log/serviio.log
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.
10) Setup Daemon to launch serviio upon bootup of your MyBook Live.
10a) create serviiod
10a) create serviiod
nano /etc/default/serviiod
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.

10b) create serviio script
nano /etc/init.d/serviio
Paste the following code.
#!/bin/sh

10c) Set files to launch on startup.
chown serviio -R /usr/local/serviio
chmod 755 /etc/init.d/serviio

11) Install web interface of servioio
nano /etc/network/interfaces
Add after line with "iface eth0 inet dhcp", this text -> up route add -net 240.0.0.0 netmask 240.0.0.0 dev eth0
cd /root
wget https://github.com/downloads/mpemberton5/Web-UI-for-Serviio/WebUI%20v1.0.2.zip
cd /var/www
unzip /root/WebUI\ v1.0.2.zip
chmod -R 0755 serviioweb
mv /etc/init.d/twonky /etc/init.d/twonky.norun
reboot
12) After reboot, wait minimum 5 min and check status when back up by using this command.
/etc/init.d/serviio status
You will get somthing like this:
NAS:~# /etc/init.d/serviio status
Serviio Media Server should be up with primary PID 4232 and 2 processes are running.
Your done Serviio is working on My book Live !!!
Go to http://mybooklive/serviioweb (case sensitive) replace “mybooklive” if you have renamed it to something else, or replace it with its IP address, and access serviio web interface, there you can manage the server.
If you want trans-coding create a Temp directory in your Public folder and change the Temp directory in serviio to that one because /temp directory will not work as is limited in size.
I use torrent on the NAS to so you need to install Install Mybook Live Feature Pack Manager and use Transmission as a client.
Useful utilities:
Android: ServiioDroid, Remote Transmission, WD 2GO
To check cpu, ram usage on NAS from windows use gkrellm, you need to install the windows client as well.
sudo aptitude install gkrellm
This configuration is working for me for two days now with no problems, MKV, FLV is working on my Sony TV
TESTS
MKV - 1080p movies working with trans-coding.
FLV - working
NOT WORKING
- FF, Pause, REW when on a MKV or FLV file will fail (this I think is related with version of serviio)
- After stopping a file playing, the ffmpeg process is still running until that file is all trans-coded.Example: If you have a 8Gb MKV and you start playing it, and after 5 seconds you stop it the hole file will be trans-coded and then the ffmpeg process will stop. (... it will take CPU clocks and you cannot stop it, so I open and stop a small file like a flv to fix this, most persons will not observe this but I got curios why my green led on the My Book Live having so much activity after stopping a movie)
WARNING !!!
Because of the CPU speed of the NAS when downloading with Transmission, you cannot start a movie on the TV because will work for 15 seconds after then the ffmpeg process will get less cpu clocks and will fail to trans-code real-time, this can be fixed by prioritizing the ffmpeg process problem is that I don't know how :)
Credits are all to the WEB !!!
