I used this procedure to install airvideo in IronicBadger's Debian VM.  The procedure was put together from several different sources from the Internet.

 

echo "" >> /etc/apt/sources.list

echo deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org wheezy main non-free >> /etc/apt/sources.list

 

gpg --keyserver pgpkeys.mit.edu --recv-key 07DC563D1F41B907

gpg -a --export 07DC563D1F41B907 | apt-key add -

 

apt-get update

apt-get install deb-multimedia-keyring

apt-get upgrade

apt-get install autoconf build-essential checkinstall git libfaac-dev libgpac-dev libmp3lame-dev libopencore-amrnb-dev libopencore-amrwb-dev librtmp-dev libtheora-dev libtool libvorbis-dev pkg-config texi2html yasm zlib1g-dev x264 libx264-dev

 

mkdir /home/airvideo

cd /home/airvideo

wget http://s3.amazonaws.com/AirVideo/Linux-2.4.6-beta3/libav.tar.bz2

tar -xjvf libav.tar.bz2

cd libav

./configure --enable-pthreads --disable-shared --enable-static --enable-gpl --enable-libx264 --enable-libmp3lame --enable-nonfree --enable-encoder=libfaac

make

cd ..

wget http://s3.amazonaws.com/AirVideo/Linux-2.4.6-beta3/AirVideoServerLinux.jar

 

# Create a properties file with the following contents:

nano airvideo-properties

folders = TV:/mnt/TV
subtitles.encoding = windows-1250
subtitles.font = Verdana
password = password
path.ffmpeg = /home/airvideo/libav/avconv

 

# You'll need to modify the properties file for your situation.

# I mounted my Recorded TV unRAID share to /mnt/TV

# You can mount other media sources as you see fit.

 

aptitude install openjdk-6-jdk

 

To start airvideo on boot

copy the following script to /etc/init.d/airvideo

#!/bin/bash
# start|stop|restart
#
# $Id$
#
# airvideo	initscript
#			This file should be placed in /etc/init.d/airvideo.

Why not use the ARCH VM? A lot easier and not as involved.

Already had the Debian up and running and just added airvideo to it.  Wasn't going to start over with Arch just for airvideo.
