Any luck with a 64bit version for the plugin? I have the 1.4 update but jre is not being recognized in the control panel.

Grab version 1.0 of the 64bit version from my Github.

 

https://raw.github.com/overbyrn/UnRAID/master/airvideo_x64_overbyrn.plg

 

There is a small issue with the plugin gui in that it does not currently refresh the page after changes are applied.  Perform a manual refresh of the page for the time-being.

 

 

Thank you very much. I had jre installed with previous version. Should I disable the install from the control panel?

I had to move to a later version of java as AirVideo was complaining about some dependencies that were java related when running on 64bit platform that I did not encounter on 32bit.  I used openjre as a replacement to the much older Sun Java jre7 as technically this is not redistributable anyway based on its license.

 

If you have other versions of java, I would suggest working out what they are needed for and seeing if the version I bundle with 64bit AirVideo plugin will work okay.  Bare in mind though that the path to java executable has changed from this version to the last so if you do have anything else which relies on java, you may to consider if it will find this new version as it is not in the default paths for unRAID.  I certainly would recommend only using one version of java if possible.

Anyone setup unraid airplay streaming to Apple TV yet or just ipads?  I can't seem to figure out how to set it up.

Hi overborne trying to install the plugin of air video but I keep getting this error:

 

using unraid v5.05

 

put air video_overbyrn.plg into boot/config/plugin folder

telnet into tower

login to root

type: installplg /boot/config/plugins/airvideo_overbyrn.plg

 

get this:

Warning: simplexml_load_file(): /boot/config/plugins/airvideo_overbyrn.plg:1528: parser error : Premature end of data in tag html line 7 in /usr/local/sbin/installplg on line 13

 

over and over.

 

Can you tell me what I am doing wrong? Really want to get air video working again as I cannot install it off unMenu. Thanks

How did you download the plg?  Did you right click on the link and select "save link as"?

Yes.

  • Author

Yes.

Regardless of the method of how the file was saved, it was not saved correctly.  You only ever get that error when the file has been saved in a format that is not recognised by the unRAID plugin installation system.  It's probably your browser wrongly interpreting the file type during your save-as action.

 

Suggest you delete the file and start over. 

 

From unRaid command line you can always try:

wget -q -P /boot/config/plugins --no-check-certificate https://raw.github.com/overbyrn/UnRAID/master/airvideo_overbyrn.plg
installplg /boot/config/plugins/airvideo_overbyrn.plg

<make sure you do not have any old plg files of the same name at the location above before issuing the wget command>

 

 

Thanks did the wget we are all good, too bad air video HD doesn't connect directly to NAS, have to stick with old air video.

Is this working on unRaid 6?  I downloaded and installed it, which went fine without errors.  But when I attempt to make any changes to the settings, clicking apply seems to do nothing.  I refresh the page and any settings I changed are back to their defaults.

No this is for version 5.  Plugins that work for v6 will be labeled as being compatible with v6.  Not sure if there is one available or not.

Hoping someone could help out here.

 

I have downloaded and successfully installed Air Video and installed the standard app. The app can connect to the server but it wont find the files.

 

Under settings i have the URL as: Movies:/mnt/user/Media/BLURAY+MOVIES.

The Shares name is /mnt/user/Media/BLURAY+MOVIES.

 

Is there something i'm missing here??

Any help appreciated

 

Cheers

The free will work just fine.  That's the free to the original Airvideo version right?  Not AirVideo HD?  Wasn't sure if there was a free version of the HD app also.  Assuming you're using the standard older AirVideo, then you shouldn't have a problem.  AirVideo HD isn't compatible as there's no Linux version of the server application.

 

Before writing this I tested here without issue.  Setup a top level Media share, added a sub-dir of BLURAY+MOVIES, in the AirVideo webGui added "Movies:/mnt/user/Media/BLURAY+MOVIES" to the AirVideo File Locations and was able to see and play a video from the share.

 

Might be worth enabling the debug log option.  Set it to yes, restart AirVideo from the webgui.  Where it says "AirVideo is RUNNING" it should also say "[Debug Log]".  Click this and your browser will open up a new tab showing the live trace of Airvideo server running.  Use your iOS device to browse for files and then review the debug log.  Perhaps you will get a clue as to why it's not showing your files.

Thanks for the reply.

I have the free standard version, not the HD one.

I have downloaded the version of airvideo currently on GitHub.

User share is Media, with sub folders. Sub folder is called BLURAY MOVIES..

I have enabled debbing and and can see the live trace..

 

One thing I just thought of (as I'm not home currently to test), the folder name does not have the "+" in the file name, but when copying/pasting the share path from the shares page it includes the symbol. Should this "+" sign be in the video location URL? Does the + represent a space(bar).

It sounds like the mystery "+" is the problem.  If the path to your video files contains a space, then AirVideo File Locations should also.

 

eg;

PnCLDYS.png

 

Should work fine.

It was the bloody "+" sign. Removed it and had a normal space it it works perfect.

 

Thanks for all your assistance.
