PS3 Media Server

Hi All,

I have installed this great piece of software to a directory /usr/local/ps3mediaserver and have written the following init script to work with Fedora 11's initscripts package. Well, not really written, just hacked the start script for samba This script works for me, and I thought I should share it. Feel free to use and change as you need to.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
#
# chkconfig: - 91 50
# description: Starts and stops the ps3mediaserver
# pidfile: /usr/local/ps3mediaserver/ps3mediaserver.pid
# config:  /usr/local/ps3mediaserver/PMS.conf

# Source function library.
if [ -f /etc/init.d/functions ] ; then
  . /etc/init.d/functions
elif [ -f /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions ] ; then
  . /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
else
  exit 1
fi

# Avoid using root's TMPDIR
unset TMPDIR

# Source networking configuration.
. /etc/sysconfig/network

# Check that networking is up.
[ ${NETWORKING} = "no" ] && exit 1

PROG_NAME='ps3mediaserver'
PROG_ROOT='/usr/local/ps3mediaserver'
PROG_JAR='pms.jar'
PROG_EXEC='PMS.sh'

RETVAL=0

start() {
        KIND="$PROG_NAME"
        echo -n $"Starting $KIND services: "
        cd $PROG_ROOT
        daemon $PROG_ROOT/$PROG_EXEC
        RETVAL=$?
        echo
        [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && echo `ps o pid,args|grep $PROG_JAR|grep -v grep|awk {'print $1'}` > $PROG_ROOT/$PROG_NAME.pid || \
           RETVAL=1
        return $RETVAL
}

stop() {
        KIND="$PROG_NAME"
        echo -n $"Shutting down $KIND services: "
        killproc -p $PROG_ROOT/$PROG_NAME.pid
        RETVAL=$?
        echo
        [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && rm -f $PROG_ROOT/$PROG_NAME.pid
        return $RETVAL
}

restart() {
        stop
        start
}

rhstatus() {
        status -p $PROG_ROOT/$PROG_NAME.pid $PROG_NAME
        return $?
}

case "$1" in
  start)
        start
        ;;
  stop)
        stop
        ;;
  restart)
        restart
        ;;
  status)
        rhstatus

        echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|status}"
        exit 2

exit $?


This file was created at /etc/init.d/ps3mediaserver and was installed using

Code: Select all

chkconfig --add ps3mediaserver

To PMS.sh, I added the following to near the start of the file

Code: Select all

export JAVA_HOME=/opt/SDK/jdk
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

The last line of the PMS.sh was also changed. The exec and the quotes around the $JAVA were removed, the setting for headless was added, some logging to /var/log/ps3mediaserver.log and the & to make the process run in the background. The line now looks like

Code: Select all

$JAVA $JAVA_OPTS -Xmx768M -Djava.encoding=UTF-8 -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Djava.awt.headless=true -classpath "$PMS_JARS" net.pms.PMS "$@" >>/var/log/ps3mediaserver.log 2>>/var/log/ps3mediaserver.log &

now the service can be started by

Code: Select all

service ps3mediaserver start

stopped with

Code: Select all

service ps3mediaserver stop

restarted with

Code: Select all

service ps3mediaserver restart

and check the status with

Code: Select all

service ps3mediaserver status

and turned on at boot with

Code: Select all

chkconfig --level 2345 ps3mediaserver on

Make sure the $JAVA_HOME you put in the PMS.sh file is correct for your system.
If you use a different directory to install the software to, change the $PROG_ROOT var
If you use a different script to the usual PMS.sh script, change $PROG_EXEC var
if the java class file ever changes from pms.jar, change $PROG_JAR

i think that just about sums it up. hope this helps some of you out there...

Hm, this seems like the wrong thread for your problem. That being said, have you verified that PMS.sh has execute permissions the file system?

i try run it as sudo ./PMS.sh but all i get is a sudo: ./PMS.sh: command not found.

as Doomstalk said, check ya permissions on PMS.sh. if those are incorrect,you will also probably need to change linux/tsMuxeR as well

Code: Select all

chmod +x PMS.sh
chmod +x linux/tsMuseR

I'm using pms-linux-1.21.0. For this version I had to add a console option:

Code: Select all

java -Djava.awt.headless=true -Xmx768M -Xss16M -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -classpath /opt/ps3mediaserver/pms/update.jar:/opt/ps3mediaserver/pms/pms.jar net.pms.PMS console


I also had to use java-1.6.0-openjdk on Fedora.

I just tried to update to 1.21.1 and I copied it over my existing 1.20 install and it wouldn't start, so I reverted my PMS.sh file and it started, but I could not find it on my network. So I then changed the execute script to the above mentioned one and now I get this:

Code: Select all

I checked and I do have java 1.6.0 installed

Code: Select all

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

case "`uname`" in

if $cygwin ; then

if [ "x$PMS_HOME" = "x" ]; then
   PMS_HOME=`cd $DIRNAME/; pwd`

Any help would be appreciated as 1.21.1 fixes a lot of my MKV issues from what I read

same issue for me.. did you ever find a solution for this?
