MTPCenter - server solution for Pinnacle Showcenter



Only notes so far - not finished

Requirements
You will need to install:

apt-get install php4-gd
 * 1)  Apache
 * 2)  PHP
 * 3)  MySQL
 * 4) GD (for this I simply did a...)

Installation
Download MTPCenter into apache's DocumentRoot

cd /var/www wget http://www.panczyk.org/linux/linux_mtpcenter_1.0.tar.gz Untar the downloaded file and enter the new directory

tar zxvf linux_mtpcenter_1.0.tar.gz cd linux_mtpcenter_1.0

Change user:group

chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/linux_mtpcenter_1.0

Apache
Now you will need to create a file in apache to see MTPCenter

pico /etc/apache/conf.d/mtpcenter

and add this to that file

Listen 8280  DocumentRoot "/var/www/linux_mtpcenter_1.0"  Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all                DirectoryIndex index.html index.php  
 * 1) mtpcenter Apache Virtual Host Configuration file

Restart apache

/etc/init.d/apache restart

Run It
Go to MTPCenter on your Linkstation http:/:8280

ensure that the following settings in your php.ini are set as listed below

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ; Data Handling ; ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ; register_globals = Off

[Informix]  (on line 792/1077) ; Initialize session on request startup. session.auto_start = 0

You should get this -



The next thing to do is change the language - unless you are German ofcourse

cd /var/www/linux_mtpcenter_1.0/config pico config.inc

// Used Language // possible values so far: "de" "eng" "fr" $LangUsed=" de "; "eng";

You'll need to enter directories where you want MTPCenter to look for your files in the relevent section and enter MySQL details etc...

// ###### PART: Standard Directories // Music Main Directory $MusicDir="/mnt/music/"; // MP3 Directory $AudioDir="";

Update
It didn't really work for me until I installed this update, then it all just started to work

cd /var/www wget http://www.panczyk.org/linux/linux_mtpcenter_1.0_Update_2.tar.gz tar zxvf linux_mtpcenter_1.0_Update_2.tar.gz

You need to add this aswell (?)

pico /var/www/linux_mtpcenter_1.0/config/config.inc

// ######## Added for Update2 $Music_Stream=true; $Music_Sort_Type = array("Title", "Title", "Track", "Title", "Title", "Title", "Track", "Title"); $External_Remux=false; $External_Identify=array('-PIN-230','-VNE-258',,,''); $External_Write_SH=true; $External_Script="temp/externremux.sh"; $External_Software="/usr/local/bin/ts2ps  ";
