Serviio Console

G'day all

First off been using Serviio for many years with sharing across my network watched many videos using Serviio from Play station 4 to Xbox 360 and a Pi unit as well

I've just got access to larger drives 5TB and Im rebuilding a PC tower up, going to clone my system to a NvME drive and run it in the new tower

I'm planning in buying serviio this time as well, but I cant seem to access serviio from my command line or via the desktop like I use too, thou many updates have been done since to Ubuntu

my file paths are
this is what I did some time ago and got my info the bash file

  Code:

sudo wget http://download.serviio.org/releases/serviio-2.1-linux.tar.gz
sudo tar zxvf serviio-2.1-linux.tar.gz
sudo ln -s serviio-2.1 serviio
sudo chown -R root:root /opt
sudo /opt/serviio/bin/serviio.sh
ifconfig
sudo rm serviio-2.1-linux.tar.gz
sudo vi /lib/systemd/system/serviio.service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable serviio.service
sudo systemctl start serviio.service

files are sitting in

/opt/serviio/bin/
and
/opt/serviio-2.1/bin/

Serviio works but I want to be able to access the Console again from the desktop to check things out before transfering to the new tower, or is it better to reinsall it ?

my errors are

  Code:

Smegmedia:/opt/serviio/bin$ ./serviio.sh
log4j:ERROR setFile(null,true) call failed.

It's been years since I've played with Linux, so I tend to get lost sometimes in the details there.

As far as reaching the Serviio console, are you looking for a console app or just using a web browser? I'm not certain Linux builds have the console app, but even on Windows I just use the web interface. From any computer on your network just access http://[Serviio IP address]:23423/console. When you're on the Serviio computer itself, just use localhost instead of the IP address.

I can bring up the web browser link OK for serviio but I have forgotton my details to login, it says to edit user details to do via the Console
I cant look at this stage but I think thats what it said, I have the tower out now taking to work to image the drive and transfer to the NvME drive on the new tower

The console has no login, only the MediaBrowser. The URL is slightly different for the console and MediaBrowser:

console: http://[Serviio IP address]:23423/console
MB: http://[Serviio IP address]:23424/mediabrowser

Notice the different port number (the number after the colon).

Well I got into the browser OK and the console came up OK, thanks for that I'm on version 2.1, is it worth upgrading ? and how is it done via the command line

I had some fun trying to clone or image the system over only to find out the NvME wasn't big enough and I couldn't shrink the Ubuntu system down, so I put the 6TB into the old tower, then I had to work out my mounting issues, as I said its been some time since I've done it, any ways the drive is now mounted and up and running in the shared drives

I just have to point you to the release notes for you to decide if you want the latest version. Version 2.1 is now over 5 years old, and I'm pretty sure there's some worthwhile improvements in it. https://serviio.org/news

I can't remember exactly how you update Serviio on Linux. If I remember correctly you simply unzip the main file and then copy everything over the existing install. But I can't be sure of that, so check the website for more details.

it seems to work OK, I don't really use for any ting else other than sharing across my home net work specially Red Dwarf shows LOL

I've been looking for the Serviio GUI for ubuntu as I stated before, I remember using it but had to install java to get it going, I can't seem to find any thing on it other than an image on what it used to looking like
but as you said 5 years that's how long since I've touch this Linux box lol, its all up to date now

It's been a long, long time since I've used the console app. The web version does everything and I don't need to worry about if it's on a specific computer.
