PS3mediaserver

[gswarriorfan]

awesome!  thanks!

[ajgoyt]

hey,

Is there a wiki page or something that has step by step instructions?

 

as a total Linux noob i have no idea what to do with at this point

 

 

2. Download and install the slackware java runtime environment. "installpkg jre-6u11-i586-1.tgz"

http://mirrors.easynews.com/linux/slackware/slackware-current/slackware/l/jre-6u11-i586-1.tgz

 

thanks

 

definitely need this on my Unraid server but struggling how to install per i am a linux noob too

[purko]

Here is a code sample that will allow you to do this on your own:

for i in /boot/packages/*.tgz; do
  installpkg /boot/packages/`basename $i .tgz`
done

You don't really need a loop for that. You can reduce the above to just one line:

installpkg /boot/packages/*.t[gx]z

I even added an extra "x" there for the newer Slackware packages which come as ".txz"

Purko - do you run ps3ms on your unraid? do you have any step by step install notes for a Noob

No, I don't. Sorry. But if you follow this thread from the beginning, there are instructions how to get it running.

ajgoyt,

 

im working on writing a blog on how i set up my unraid server and setting up ps3mediaserver will be on it.  i've been pretty busy lately but i'll get to it within a day or 2.

[ajgoyt]

Warrior that is just great news -  I really appreciate it, I assuming you will PM me?

 

Thanks Again

OK I finished up a post on how I got PS3mediaserver up and running.  http://bloggyvonbloggerstein.blogspot.com/

Thank you Warrior. This was perfect timing. I was just asked last night to set this up for someone and didn't know where to begin. Your efforts saved me a lot of head scratching.

 

Looks like the two file links on your blog to slackware.org.uk are not working, says "Not Found"

[IG82]

Thanks gswarriorfan, this is great!  Gonna give this a go so I don't need to run my W7 PC as well.

 

slackware.org.uk has had a hard disk failure, I found the files here instead:

 

http://pinguinmabuk.net/alien_repository/ffmpeg/pkg64/current/ffmpeg-0.5-x86_64-2alien.tgz

 

http://connie.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/MPlayer/pkg/12.2/MPlayer-r29301-i486-1alien.tgz

[PCRx]

Thanks for the new links.

I got everything installed but get this error when booting:

 

/var/tmp/go: line 10: ./PMS.sh: No such file or directory

 

I double checked and it's there on the flash in the proper folder.

[IG82]

There is a small error, you need

 

cd /boot/custom/ps3ms/

 

before the last line in the go script where ps3ms is you folder

Thanks for the new links.

I got everything installed but get this error when booting:

 

/var/tmp/go: line 10: ./PMS.sh: No such file or directory

 

I double checked and it's there on the flash in the proper folder.

The "go" script is copied elsewhere (/var/tmp/go), passed through "fromdos" and executed in that other location.

Your script does not exist there.

 

Invoke it with the full path to the file. If it is in /boot, use:

/boot/PMS.sh

[gswarriorfan]

whoops sorry guys I guess I missed putting that line in my instructions! 

 

thanks for linking those 2 files.  i'll update my blog when i have some free time.

help please

 

using the step by step guide from gswarriorfan's blog

 

when i type ffmpeg to make sure everything works i got "cannot execute binary file"

 

as per vwalien's tip on page 7 i switched ffmpeg-0.5-x86_64-2alien.tgz with ffmpeg-0.5-i486-1alien.tgz

but now i when i type ffmpeg i get:

ffmpeg: relocation error: /usr/lib/libavdevice.so.52: symbol snd_pcm_htimestamp,

version ALSA_0.9 not defined in file libasound.so.2 with link time reference

 

i have no idea what that error means

 

any help would be appreciated.  thanks

I got exactly the same and went past it thinking I would resolve later, despite the error ps3ms still runs fine and I get sound.

 

Mine is still not booting at startup using the fix to the go script I thought would work or Joe's one.  I don't have a monitor attached to my server so cannot check the messages at boot, I am wondering if some wait time needs to be added to allow for the installpkg stage to complete.

[PCRx]

I've followed the blog step by step, substituting the new links posted above for the two broken links.

Also changed the go script to include the "cd /boot/custom/ps3ms/" before the "./PMS.sh".

 

When booting that fix seems to work as the error is gone. However a new error is shown:

 

Unable to access jarfile /boot/custom/ps3ms/pms.jar

 

I'm wondering if we're still missing something.

[IG82]

Unable to access jarfile /boot/custom/ps3ms/pms.jar

 

Have you checked the file exists in your ps3ms folder?  It should come from the stage when you extracted pms-linux-1.10.5.tgz, it should be in ps3ms and not in a pms-linux-1.10.5 subfolfder.

I remember when I switched versions to ffmpeg-0.5-i486-1alien.tgz, or was it mencoder, I forgot now, I also had to track down the following files:

liboil-0.3.14-i486-1alien.tgz

http://connie.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/liboil/pkg/12.1/liboil-0.3.14-i486-1alien.tgz

 

alsa-lib-1.0.17a-i486-1.tgz

http://www.slackware.org.il/slackware/slackware-12.2/slackware/l/alsa-lib-1.0.17a-i486-1.tgz

 

libXau-1.0.4-i486-1.tgz

http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/slackware/slackware-12.2/slackware/x/libXau-1.0.4-i486-1.tgz

Thanks IG82, got it up and running now.

Thanks IG82, got it up and running now.

 

Good to hear, and it loads automatically when unRAID boots?  I think I may have to plug a monitor into my server to see if it says anything 

[gswarriorfan]

has anyone had any success using the latest beta versions of PS3mediaserver? 

[EpiX]

sweetness

 

copied those 3 packages vwalien posted to the "mencoder" folder

 

and now it works 100% yay

Have you checked the file exists in your ps3ms folder?  It should come from the stage when you extracted pms-linux-1.10.5.tgz, it should be in ps3ms and not in a pms-linux-1.10.5 subfolfder.

 

Should all of the pms-linux-1.10.5.tgz files be in the ps3ms folder or just the pms.jar?

All of them should be in there
