Serviio

Hello,
I installed the server and it works. Now I see in the web interface a message that the test license expire in one day and I have to upload a license file. What file? Where can I find it? What means test license?
I am a little confused.

Hi there! You can continue to use Serviio indefinitely without issue. The license you refer to is for using the Pro (paid) version. Every time you install Serviio it grants you a 15 day free trial of Pro. That is the only thing that is expiring. I'll attach a link that describes the differences between the free and Pro versions.

If you need to use the web based MediaBrowser, you need the pro license. If you want to use a 3rd party app (such as ServiiGo) to access your media, Pro is required. You can see the other differences on the page I linked. If you're only using Serviio on your local network to stream media to your streaming players, the free version will continue to work fine. However, I do feel the product is worth the minimal cost to support the development of continued updates. A purchased license would be good for all versions of Serviio 2. Once Serviio 3 is released (which is no where near happening any time soon), a new license would need to be purchased. It was seven years between Serviio version 1 and 2. It's only been three years since Serviio 2.0 was released.

Hello Dan,
thank's for the info. Now the license is expired but when I use the command serviio.sh in a terminal on my linux machine nothing happens.

I'm not Linux-savvy, so can't assist with a problem on that OS. But the first thing to check is the Serviio log, which might indicate if there's some problem starting the service.

Hello Dan,
there is an error in the log file:

2022-12-11T19:35:08,127 WARN [MediaServer] DCRAW not found. Support for raw image files will be missing.

I don't know if this error stops the execution of the engine.

Yes, that is likely what it stopping the service. I don't know exactly what the issue is, so hopefully the Serviio developer will see this and provide some answer.

dcraw is the image thumbnailer used by serviio.

If you are using Ubuntu/Mint/Bodhi, install it by using "sudo apt install dcraw" from the terminal.
If you are using RedHat/Fedora/CentOS, install it by using "sudo dnf install dcraw" from the terminal.

If you have it installed, you may have to purge and reinstall the package.

Unfortunately it does not work. After a the installaition of the package dcraw and the reinstallation of Serviio the script serviio-console.sh does not work and after the command serviio.sh nothing happens. When I kill the command I get the message

Actual I cannot use serviio.

What distribution/version of Linux are you running?

Serviio itself is meant to be run as a non-inetractive service. As a result, if you are running it from a command prompt, you will need to change to another termiinal (using Ctrl+Alt+F key at the top of the keyboard) on use an & after the command to run and continue. Basically it will not return to prompt by default.

For Linux specific install instructions, please check the wiki articles at https://www.serviio.org/wiki/doku.php?i ... ux:install
