A Media Server for Syabas based players

Overview

Wizd is serving all your media files (video, audio, photo...) to your networked player.

• automatically detected by your player
• browse faster than ever through your media
• no aditionnal server required (Apache, PHP...)
• low memory usage (less than 10 MB)
• fully customizable
• read DVD-ISO backups and standard DVD backups
• bookmark feature for MPEG movies
• tumbnails mode to preview your pictures
• free and open-source :)

Requirements

1. Development tools

Install the Precompiled C development environment, running on the LS

2. libjpeg6

Download and install LibJpeg6

cd /mnt/misc
wget ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg/jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz
tar zxvf jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz
cd jpeg-6b
./configure 
make 
mkdir /usr/local/man/man1
make install
make install-lib
ranlib /usr/local/lib/libjpeg.a

3. libdvdread

Download and install libdvdread

cd /mnt/misc 
wget http://jhue.users.sonic.net/libdvdread-0.9.4.tgz 
tar zxvf libdvdread-0.9.4.tgz 
cd libdvdread-0.9.4
./configure 
make 
make install

4. su (Substitute user identity) - ONLY NEEDED FOR OPENLINK ON LS1

Download su, because the location has a '(' in the path, this can't be downloaded with wget.

Save su.htm to \\<IP Adress Linkstation>\share

Copy this file to the /bin/ directory

cp /mnt/share/su.htm /bin/su

Make su executable

chmod 755 /bin/su

Installation

WIZD

Download and install WIZD

On LS1

cd /mnt/misc 
wget http://www.unet.univie.ac.at/~a0025690/ppc-binaries/wizd_012h_pvb21.ppc.tgz 
tar -C / -xzvf wizd_012h_pvb21.ppc.tgz

On LS2

cd /mnt/misc 
wget http://www.unet.univie.ac.at/~a0025690/mips-binaries/wizd_012h_pvb21_mips.tar
tar -C / -xvf wizd_012h_pvb21_mips.tar

Make the startup script executable

chmod 755 /etc/init.d/wizd

This is how the startup script works ...

(Script created by Mindbender)

#! /bin/sh 
export USER="root" 
NAME=wizd 
INSTALLEDPATH=/mnt/local/mediaserver/wizd 
start() 
{ 
	su - $USER -c"cd ${INSTALLEDPATH} && ./wizd -d" 
} 
stop() 
{ 
	su - $USER -c"/sbin/killall -15 wizd" 
	su - $USER -c"sleep 5" 
} 
case "$1" in 
    start) 
        echo -n "Starting Wizd: " 
        start 
        ;; 
    stop) 
        echo -n "Stopping Wizd " 
        stop 
        ;; 
    restart) 
        echo -n "Restarting Wizd " 
        stop 
        start 
        ;; 
    *) 
        echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/$NAME {start|stop|restart}" 
        exit 1 
        ;; 
esac 
exit 0
