I strongly recommend using an utf8 version to avoid problems with charsets. LANG=de_DE.utf8 exec /opt/serviio/bin/serviio.shīe sure to adapt the path of the serviio daemon to point your Serviio installation folder (in my case /opt/serviio ) and to replace the locale “de_DE.utf8” with one matching your system. # uncomment the following lines and replace with user and group # If you don't want to run Serviio as root # games console or mobile phone) on your connected home network. # (music, video or images) to renderer devices (e.g. Optionally, if your media resides in a network mount, you can also build a dependency on a certain mountpoint # Serviio - media server

On Linux versions with Upstart like Mint or Ubuntu, you can install this script in /etc/init to let Upstart know about serviio and start/stop the daemon automatically when your network interface is setup. Transcoding settings can be configured under the tab “Delivery” Starting Serviio daemon automatically on boot Add the folders where your media is located and with the check boxes on the right side, select the type of media However, “Library” is the most interesting of them. You can explore the multiple options and settings along the top taps.

Do not worry if you get an “unrecognized device” (most Android mobile phones and tablets), the Generic DLNA profile shall be OK for most users.Īdditionally, if you have several network interfaces, you can bind the Serviio daemon to listen on a certain interface. After a few seconds/minutes, the tool will show the DLNA enabled devices discovered on your local network and assign the best matching profile automatically. The console application is displayed in your tray and can be started with a simple double-click. Serviio provides two binaries, a daemon (the server itself) and a console for configuration. You might need to change the user owner/permissions of the recently extracted folder and files. Depending on your user rights you might need to sudo the command /opt $ tar xvfzm. I placed my installation into the “/opt/” folder. The linux version comes in form of a tar.gz package that you can easily unpack. You can download Serviio directly from the official website ( ). Other packagesĪdditionally to ffmpeg and Java 8, be sure to have the following packages (available in the standard repositories) installed: In my case, I can (for the moment) live without that and installed ffmpeg from a ppa ( ppa:mc3man/trusty-media).

Unfortunately, on Linux Mint 17.x or Ubuntu 14.04, the package is not available in the standard repositories. Serviio encourages you to build the package from sources, since most of precompiled versions of ffmpeg do not include librmtp support. In order to stream and transcode media you’ll need to installffmpeg.

In case that you have a lower version, check my post on how to install Java on Linux Mint ffmpeg Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.31-b07, mixed mode)Īs you can see, my system runs version “1.8.x” which corresponds in fact to “Java 8”. Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_31-b13) On Linux, Java 8 is required. You can check your installed version running the following command $ java -version Categorizes the video files into movies / series, …ĭownload and Installation Prerequisites Java.Stream media from online sources (i.e.: video podcasts).Stream AVI, FLV, MP4V, MKV movies without the need to transcode them.

Streams movies with several audio channels (audio selection is done on TV).

Allows to “stream” subtitles (working on Samsung Smart TV).

Within the many features of Serviio, I would like to emphasise the ones I love most:

#SERVIIO INSTALL PC#

I use it to stream movies from my PC to my Samsung Smart TV (D Series). It has different profiles that match most CE devices from many vendors (Samsung, Sony, Panasonic, …). Serviio is a DLNA media server developed in Java.
