Installing PMS on NAS (Synology DS-207+)

[the_stalli0n]

New version of GNU classpath is now available in my optware feed, so i updated it. Now, JamVM is working right, and PMS runs!

Here's the output:

Thanks!

Hey stalli0n, saw the classpath update too
I have PMS running on my Synology DS-207+ now too , but I guess I have the same problem as you...

Hi atrem and the_stalli0n,
Have you guys had any luck with your setup on the DS-207+ or DS-209+?

Could you guys be so awesome and create a list with the steps you followed to set it up? Including the command lines you used to install all the packages needed?

atrem did you start a topic about this in Synology's forum? any luck in there? I am guessing that with the final patch you guys got 'libgconfpeer.so' on the NAS, have you found out what else is broken?
If you provide some info i might be able to help in the research.

thanks,

[Kaisser74]

Hello everyone.

Somebody has installed into a W.D. MyBook White Light??

Thanks!

[atrem]

Have you guys had any luck with your setup on the DS-207+ or DS-209+?

Hi oadmutis,
PMS is running on my Synology DS-207+, but I still have the 'file descriptor already initialized' problem and my PS3 doesn't see PMS.

Could you guys be so awesome and create a list with the steps you followed to set it up? Including the command lines you used to install all the packages needed?

OK here we go, I'll try to be as complete as I can remember
Warning: Do this at your own risk, this is for the Synology DS-207+ with ARM processor only!

General.

01. Download and install 'Putty SSH' from http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty.exe, or use telnet to communicate with the DS.
02. Enable SSH (or telnet) in the DS management window under Network Services > Terminal.
03. Login as root into the DS with Putty SSH's window (or telnet).
04. Download and install the 'ARM Marvell bootstrap' from http://www.maartendamen.com/node/6.
This enables you to install ipkg packages compiled for arm processors.
See a list of available packages here at http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/syno-x07/cross/unstable/.

Download and install ipkg packages.

05. At the command line put: ipkg install jamvm.
06. At the command line put: ipkg install classpath.
07. At the command line put: ipkg install ffmpeg.

Download and install Mplayer/Mencoder
I'm not sure how I did this step, but I know I used subversion.

08. At the command line put: ipkg install svn.
09. 'cd' to a folder where you want to put the mplayer software (e.g. 'cd /volume1/tmp').
10. At the command line put: svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk mplayer
11. Wait, wait, wait.....

Download and unpack PMS-linux (in this case the latest version 1.10.5).

12. 'cd' to a folder where you want to put the download (e.g. 'cd /volume1/tmp').
13. At the command line put: wget http://ps3mediaserver.googlecode.com/fi ... 1.10.5.tgz
14. At the command line put: tar -xvzf pms-linux-1.10.5.tgz
15. 'cd' to the folder where pms-linux was unpacked (in this case 'cd ./pms-linux-1.10.5')

Make the shell script executable.

16. At the command line put: chmod ug+x PMS.sh

Edit PMS.sh using the (built-in) vi editor or Midnight Commander (ipkg install mc). See the Synology wiki for help on using vi http://forum.synology.com/wiki/index.php/Linux_VI_Editor.

17. Change into the following code in PMS.sh:

Code: Select all

# Setup the JVM

if [ "x$JAVA" = "x" ]; then
            if [ "x$JAVA_HOME" != "x" ]; then
                        JAVA="$JAVA_HOME/bin/java"
            else
                        JAVA="jamvm"
            fi
fi


and also:

Code: Select all

# Execute the JVM

exec "$JAVA" $JAVA_OPTS -Xmx512M -Djava.encoding=UTF-8 -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -jar "$PMS_JAR" "$@"


Start PS3Mediaserver

18. At the command line put: ./PMS.sh
Now you should see PMS starting up.

atrem did you start a topic about this in Synology's forum? any luck in there?

Yes, here http://forum.synology.com/enu/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=13014. Not much activity tho.

I am guessing that with the final patch you guys got 'libgconfpeer.so' on the NAS, have you found out what else is broken?

The 'libgconfpeer' problem disappeared with PMS version 1.10.1.

If you provide some info i might be able to help in the research.

Thanks, that would be great

Hey Atrem -- glad to see that you're still keeping an eye on things!!

That was very nice of you to post the instructions for everyone, too...

I kind of gave up after my last post... was kind of hoping that the the problem ('file descriptor') would resolve itself in a future (hopefully near-future) release of PMS; or that one of the Devs/Mods would have some advice for us (Topguy, Shagrath, any ideas?). I haven't tried to checkout the SVN code, though. Maybe a build of that would work...?

[oadmutis]

Hey Atrem, thank you so much for putting this installation guide together. DS-207/209 with PS3 combo is getting more and more popular, soo, eventually we will nail it down.

I managed to get PS3 Media Server (latest version checked-out from SVN) running on my DNS-323; the PS3 sees the NAS, and video streaming works (the DNS-323 is not powerful enough for transcoding however).

I too got the 'file descriptor already initialized' error; it was solved by removing all reference to the ServerSocketChannel class in HTTPServer.java, and simply creating a new socket using the Socket(port) constructor instead of using the "serverSocketChannel.socket()" function. (Note: I also added "http_engine_v2 = false" to the PMS.conf configuration file). Perhaps this would fix your problems with the Synology NAS as well?

I also had errors with the function "getifaddrs()" being not supported (perhaps because the DNS-323 is uclibc-based?); this was solved by removing all references to the NetworkInterface class throughout the entire project, and simply using InetAddress instead.

Thanks to shagrath for writing such a well-implemented piece of software

Omega,

Good work. I have made the first change you mentioned, however i am not a Java Developer, so don't want to screw around with the sources so much for the second change.

Could you please provide a patch?

Cheers,
D

[Omega]

Sure. I've attached a zip file containing only the changes I made to support the DNS-323 (using SVN revision 347 as the base). Hope this helps. Note that I also disabled the debug.log in PMS.java, so that the DNS-323 hard disk can power down when unused.
