ClearFoundation

Hi Casey, those RPMs are obtained from the Atrpms repo for el6 and part of my testing for Minidlna. I am working on a build to get it added to ClearOS but the team have been busy with the release of 6.3.0.

If you can't wait then install the i686 version from the Atrpms el6 repo
atrpms.net/documentation/install/

Installing ffmpeg manually is a headache becuase of the many library dependancies, so I would stick to using yum to install

Looking forward to being able to install on 6.2

Just read www.clearfoundation.com/component/option...view/id,41186/#41344

Will you be announcing in this thread when its ready?

Yes will do...sorry not revisited this topic for a while, but will announce here when ready

(I assume you mean 6.3?)

Sorry yes, I meant 6.3

Much appreciated.

Hi All

For the rest of you who, like me, can't wait for Tim to do a new MiniDLnA, i did the following:
1. Install - ffmpeg
2. Install - MPlayer, mencoder and flvtool2 - at the end of the linked page, i use this to:
a. Re-Index broken AVI's
b. Join and index VOB's
3. Copy Minidlna, NOT from source to correct locations

It worked for me.

Sorry, I had hoped to have something available sooner...but i'm waiting on import of the ffmpeg media stack into the build system

For those that 64bit you can actually use this manual version (sorry no 32bit) and download the other ffmpeg RPM's from the same directory
ftp://timburgess.net/repo/clearos/6.3/x86_64/testing/minidlna-1.0.24-2.clearos.x86_64.rpm

@Tim could you please tell me how to add your repo for 6.3 so I can install minidlna? Please

This is a guide for another repo, and i haven't tried this myself, but maybe you can deduct how to get Tim's repo installed on your box..

atrpms.net/documentation/install/

you can look in Tim's Repo FTP for the GPG-Key file to use..

ftp://timburgess.net


should be fairly simple.


I would assume that the following will work:
*****
#cd /tmp
#wget ftp://timburgess.net/RPM-GPG-KEY-TimB.txt
#rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY-TimB.txt

#yum cleanall
#yum update
#yum search minidlna
#yum -y install minidlna(exactpackagename)
*****


Let us know if that works out alright.

Thanks

From various googling sources Ive tried this.

I make no claims its the best way to do it or if it all works.

First of all get wget :



From the following source :

From earlier this thread :



At this point I got a dependency failure for the libav stuff despite the fact its supposed to install with ffmpeg.



After some more digging I found ffmpeg-libs :



Which failed telling me :



This is getting convoluted, so :



then this :



And that works now too!

So :



And that works now too!

So now I need to edit the conf :



Then a test start and restart :



Now make sure itll start with the system :



Evan after some considerable time I still think of myself as a linux novice.

Im feeling quite pleased with myself which usually means Ive done soomething wrong lol.

Seems to be running ok, I enabled the cache dir and its there and in use and it responds to :



But I cant see it on the local network.

Perhaps after a reboot or after the 15 min self advertising broadcast Ive read about .....

Duncan - you got there in a roundabout way

I'm not setup to use the 6.3 directories as a repo...yet. All the rpms are there, but I was going to push things through the ClearOS build system. However, as there is some demand i'll see what I can do. The dev team are making progress with the ffmpeg media stack too so a simple minidlna install will be available soon
