Introduction
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
MediaTomb is an open source (GPL) UPnP MediaServer with a nice web user
interface, it allows you to stream your digital media through your home
network and listen to/watch it on a variety of UPnP compatible devices.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
MediaTomb implements the UPnP MediaServer V 1.0 specification that can be
found on
\begin_inset CommandInset href
LatexCommand href
name "http://www.upnp.org/"
target "http://www.upnp.org/"
\end_inset
.
The current implementation focuses on parts that are required by the specificat
ion, however we look into extending the functionality to cover the optional
parts of the spec as well.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
MediaTomb should work with any UPnP compliant MediaRenderer, please tell
us if you experience difficulties with particular models, also take a look
at the Supported Devices list for more information.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Paragraph*
WARNING!
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The server has an integrated file system browser in the UI, that means that
anyone who has access to the UI can browse your file system (with user
permissions under which the server is running) and also download your data!
If you want maximum security - disable the UI completely! Account authenticatio
n offers simple protection that might hold back your kids, but it is not
secure enough for use in an untrusted environment!
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Note: since the server is meant to be used in a home LAN environment the
UI is enabled by default and accounts are deactivated, thus allowing anyone
on your network to connect to the user interface.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection

Zlib is a compression library that is available on most systems, we need
it for the database autocreation functionality.
Make sure to install the zlib development package providing zlib.h, if it
is not available you will need to create the MediaTomb sqlite3/MySQL database

The import.js script defines the layout of your media, the default import
script will create a structure sorted by Audio/Photo/Video, it will make
use of the gathered metadata (like ID3 tags) to sort your music by Artist/Album
/Genre/Year , etc.
The import script can be adjusted and modified - it allows you to create

It makes no sense to use taglib and id3lib at the same time, the configure
script will first look for TagLib, if TagLib detection fails it will search
for id3lib.
You can also force the configure script to take the library of your choice,
overriding the default setting.

Compiling From Source
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
Standard Method
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
If you don't care about the details - make sure you have installed the required
packages and the appropriate development headers and simply run
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
$ ./configure
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
$ make
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
$ make install
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
This should compile and install MediaTomb, the resulting binary is ready
to run.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Note: if you checked out the sources from SVN the configure script will
not be available, you will have to create it with the following command:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
autoreconf -i
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
Configure Options
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The MediaTomb configure script provides a large variety of options, allowing
you to specify the additional libraries that will be used, features that
will be compiled or disabled, workarounds for known bugs in some distributions
and so on.
Some options are straightforward, some require deeper knowledge - make
sure you know what you are doing :)
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Install Location Of Architecture Independent Files
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
--prefix=PREFIX
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Default: /usr/local/
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Install all architecture independent files - all .js files and .png images
for the Web UI, the import.js script, the service description XML files
- in the directory of your choice.
This is especially useful if you do not want to perform a system-wide installat
ion, but want to install MediaTomb only for your user.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Important: the prefix path will be compiled into the binary; the binary
will still be relocatable, but you move those files you will have to point
MediaTomb to the proper location by specifying it in the server configuration
file.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Static Build
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
--enable-static
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Default: disabled
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Build a static binary.
This may be useful if you plan to install a precompiled MediaTomb binary
on a system that does not have all the required libraries and where installatio
n of those libraries is not possible due to reasons beyond your control.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Note: if you enable this option, make sure that you have all static versions
of the appropriate libraries installed on your system.
The configure script may not detect that those are missing - in this case
you will get linker errors.
Some distributions, for example Fedora Core, do not ship static library
versions.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Automatically Create Database
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
--enable-db-autocreate
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Default: enabled
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Automatically create the database if it is missing (for example upon a first
time launch).
Disabling this will make the resulting binary a little smaller, however
you will have to take care of the database creation yourself by invoking
the appropriate .sql scripts that are provided with the package.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Note: the server configuration file has to be setup correctly.
Either sqlite or MySQL has to be chosen in the storage section, for sqlite
the database file has to point to a writable location, for MySQL the user
has to be setup with a valid password and permissions and the database

has to exist.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Debug Malloc/Realloc Of Zero bytes
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
--enable-debug-malloc0
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Default: disabled
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
This feature is only for debugging purposes, whenever a malloc or realloc
with a value of zero bytes is encountered, the server will terminate with
abort()
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Force Linking With The Pthread Library
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
--enable-pthread-lib
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Default: disabled
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
We use the ACX_PTHREAD macro from the autoconf archive to determine the
way how to link against the pthread library.
Usually it works fine, but it can fail when cross compiling.
This configure option tells us to use -lpthread when linking, it seems
to be needed when building MediaTomb under Optware.
Note, that using --disable-pthread-lib will not prevent automatic checks
against the pthread library.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Force Linking With The Iconv Library
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
--enable-iconv-lib
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Default: disabled
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
By default we will attempt to use iconv functionality provided with glibc,
however under some circumstances it may make sense to link against a separate
iconv library.
This option will attempt to do that.
Note, that using --disable-iconv-lib will not prevent automatic attempts
to link ageinst the iconv library in the case where builtin glibc iconv
functionality is not available.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Use Atomic Assembler Code For x86 Single CPU systems
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
--enable-atomic-x86-single
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Default: disabled
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Use assembler code suited for single CPU x86 machines.
This may improve performance, but your binary will not function properly
on SMP systems.
If you specify this for a non x86 architecture the binary will not run
at all.
If you wonder about the purpose of assembler code in a mediaserver application:
we need it for atomic operations that are required for reference counting.
The pthread library will be used as a fallback for other architectures,
but can also be forced by a designated configure option.
This however, will have the worst performance.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
By default x86 SMP code will be used on x86 systems - it will reliably work
on both SMP and single CPU systems, but will not be as fast as the atomic-x86-s
ingle option on uniprocessor machines.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Use Pthread Code For Atomic Operations
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
--enable-atomic-pthread
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Default: auto detect
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
This is the default setting for non x86 architectures, we may add assembler
optimizations for other architectures as well, but currently only x86 optimizat
ions are available.
This option may also be safely used on x86 machines - the drawback is poor
performance, compared to assembler optimized code.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Enable SIGHUP Handling
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
--enable-sighup
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
This option turns on SIGHUP handling, every time a SIGHUP is caught we will
attempt to restart the server and reread the configuration file.
By default this feature is enabled for x86 platforms, but is disabled for
others.
We discovered that MediaTomb will not cleanly restart on ARM based systems,
investigations revealed that this is somehow related to an unclean libupnp
shutdown.
This will be fixed in a later release.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Default: auto detect
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
X_MS_MediaReceiverRegistrar Support
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
--enable-mrreg-service
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Default: disabled
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
This option will enable the compilation and support of the X_MS_MediaReceiverReg
istrar UPnP service, this was implemented for future Xbox 360 support.
If you have a renderer that requires this service, you can safely enable
it.
It will always return true to IsValidated and IsAuthorized requests.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Note: eventhough this service is implemented there is still no Xbox 360
support in MediaTomb, more work needs to be done.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Playstation 3 Support
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
--enable-protocolinfo-extension
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Default: enabled
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
This option allows to send additional information in the protocolInfo attribute,
this will enable MP3 and MPEG4 playback for the Playstation 3, but may
also be useful to some other renderers.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Note: allthough compiled in, this feature is disabled in configuration by
default.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Fseeko Check
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
--disable-fseeko-check
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Default: enabled
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
This is a workaround for a bug in some Debian distributions, disable this
check if you know that your system has large file support, but configure
fails to detect it.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Largefile Support
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
--disable-largefile
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Default: auto
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
By default largefile support will be auto detected by configure, however
you can disable it if you do not want it or if you experience problems
with it on your system.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Redefinition Of Malloc And Realloc
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
--disable-rpl-malloc
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Default: enabled
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Autoconf may redefine malloc and realloc functions to rpl_malloc and rpl_realloc
, usually this will happen if the autotools think that you are compiling
against a non GNU C library.
Since malloc and realloc may behave different on other systems, this gives
us the opportunity to write wrapper functions to handle special cases.
However, this redefinition may get triggered when cross compiling, even
if you are compiling against the GNU C lib.
If this is the case, you can use this option to disable the redefinition.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
SQLite Support
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
--enable-sqlite3
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Default: enabled
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The SQLite database is very easy in installation and use, you do not have
to setup any users, permissions, etc.
A database file will be simply created as specified in the MediaTomb configurat
ion.
At least SQLite version 3 is required.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
MySQL Support
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
--enable-mysql
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Default: enabled
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
MySQL is a very powerful database, however it requires some additional setup.
You will find information on how to setup MediaTomb with MySQL in the Installat
ion section.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
SpiderMonkey LibJS Support
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
--enable-libjs
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Default: enabled
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
SpiderMonkey is Mozilla's JavaScript engine, it plays a very important role
in MediaTomb.
We use it to create a nice virtual container layout based on the metadata
that is extracted from your media.
We also allow the user to create custom import scripts, so everyone has
the possibility to adapt the layout to ones personal needs.
Read more about this in the installation section.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The main problem with this library is, that it is called differently on
various distributions and that it is installed in different locations.
For example, it is called js on Fedora, but is available under the name
of smjs on Debian.
If configure fails to find your js headers and libraries you can point
it to the desired locations (see options below).
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Filemagic Support
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
--enable-libmagic
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Default: enabled
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
This library determines the file type and provides us with the appropriate
mime type information.
It is very important to correctly determine the mime type of your media
- this information will be sent to your renderer.
Based on the mime type information, the renderer will decide if it can
play/display the particular file or not.
If auto detection returns strange mime types, you may want to do a check
using the 'file' command (the 'file' package must be installed on your
system).
Assuming that you want to check somefile.avi enter the following in your
terminal:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
$ file -i somefile.avi
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
This will print the detected mime type, this is exactly the information
that we use in MediaTomb.
You can override auto detection by defining appropriate file extension
to mime type mappings in your configuration file.
You can also edit the mime type information of an imported object manually
via the web UI.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Id3lib Support
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
--enable-id3lib
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Default: disabled, used if taglib is not available
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
This library will parse id3 tags of your MP3 files, the gathered information
will be saved in the database and provided via UPnP.
Further, the gathered metadata will be used by the import script to create
a nice container layout (Audio/Artist/Album, etc.)
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Taglib Support
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
--enable-taglib
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Default: enabled, preffered over id3lib
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
This library will parse id3 tags of your MP3 files as well as information
provided with flac files.
It claims to be faster than id3lib, but it also seems to have some drawbacks.
We had some cases where it crashed when trying to parse tags of certain
MP3 files on embedded systems, we had reports and observed that it had
problems parsing the sample rates.
We also did some valgrinding and detected memory leaks.
Our feeling is, that you will have more stable results with id3lib, however
it is up to you to enable or disable this library.
By default id3lib will be taken if both libraries are present on the system.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Libexif Support
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
--enable-libexif
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Default: enabled
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The exif library will gather metadata from your photos, it will also find
exif thumbnails which are created automatically by most digital camera
models.
The gathered data will be used by the import script, the thumbnails will
be offered as additional resources via UPnP.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Inotify Support
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
--enable-inotify
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Default: auto
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Inotify is a kernel mechanism that allows monitoring of filesystem events.
You need this if you want to use the Inotify Autoscan mode, contrary to
the Timed mode which recsans given directories in specified intervals,
Inotify mode will immedeately propagate changes in monitored directories
on the filesystem to the database.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
If you do not specify this option configure will check if inotify works
on the build system and compile it in only if the check succeeds.
If you specify this option, the functionality will be compiled in even
if the build system does not support inotify - the availability of inotify
will then be checked at server runtime.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
YouTube Service Support
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
--enable-youtube
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Default: enabled
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
This option enabled support of the YouTube service, it allows to gather
information about content on the YouTube site and offers the content via
UPnP, thus enabling you to watch your favorite YouTube videos on your UPnP
player device.
The feature only makes sense in combination with transcoding, since most
devices do not support playback of flv files natively.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
External Transcoding
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
--enable-external-transcoding
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Default: enabled
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Sqlite Backup Defaults
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
--enable-sqlite-backup-defaults
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Default: disabled
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Enables backup option for sqlite as the default setting, might be useful
for NAS builds.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Curl
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
--enable-curl
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Default: enabled if external transcoding or YouTube features are turned
on
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
It only makes sense to enable the curl library if YouTube and External Transcodi
ng are turned on.
YouTube requires curl, but it's optional for External Transcoding.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Ffmpeg Support
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
--enable-ffmpeg
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Default: enabled
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Currently the ffmpeg library is used to extract additional information from
audio and video files.
It is also capable of reading out the tag information from theora content.
It is not yet used for transcoding, so this feature only gathers additional
metadata.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Ffmpeg Thumbnailer Support
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
--enable-ffmpegthumbnailer
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Default: enabled
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Compiling with ffmpegthumbnailer support is only possible if you also compile
with ffmpeg support.
The library allows to generate thumbnails for the videos on the fly.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
MediaTomb Debug Output
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
--enable-tombdebug
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Default: disabled
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
This option enables debug output, the server will print out a lot of information
which is mainly interesting to developers.
Use this if you are trying to trace down a bug or a problem, the additional
output may give you some clues.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
UPnP Library Debug Output
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
--enable-upnpdebug
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Default: disabled
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
This option enables debug output of the UPnP SDK.
You should not need it under normal circumstances.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Log Output
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
--disable-log
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Default: enabled
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
This option allows you to suppress all log output from the server.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Debug Log Output
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Default: enabled
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
This option allows you to compile the server with debug messages.
If enabled, switching between verbose and normal output during runtime
becomes possible.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Package Search Directory
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
--with-search=DIR
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Default: /opt/local/ on Darwin, /usr/local/ on all other systems
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Some systems may have whole sets of packages installed in an alternative
location, for example Darwinports on OSX get installed to /opt/local/.
This option tells the configure script to additionally search for headers
and libraries of various packages in DIR/include and DIR/lib.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Specifying Header And Library Locations Of Various Packages
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
You can specify the exact location of particular headers and libraries.
Some packages use extra programs that tell us the appropriate flags that
are needed for compilation - like mysql_config.
You can also specify the exact location of those programs.
The parameters are self explanatory, in case of headers and libraries the
DIR parameter is the directory where those headers and libraries are located.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
The devconf Script
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
If you are doing some development work and some debugging, you will probably
want to compile with the -g flag and also disable optimization.
The devconf script does exactly that.
In addition, it accepts command line parameters that are passed to the
configure script.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Section
Initial Installation
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
Network Setup
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Some systems require a special setup on the network interface.
If MediaTomb exits with UPnP Error -117, or if it does not respond to M-SEARCH
requests from the renderer (i.e.
MediaTomb is running, but your renderer device does not show it) you should
try the following settings (the lines below assume that MediaTomb is running
on a Linux machine, on network interface eth1):
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
# route add -net 239.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 eth1
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
# ifconfig eth1 allmulti
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Those settings will be applied automatically by the init.d startup script.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
You should also make sure that your firewall is not blocking port UDP port
1900 (required for SSDP) and UDP/TCP port of MediaTomb.
By default MediaTomb will select a free port starting with 49152, however
you can specify a port of your choice in the configuration file.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
First Time Launch
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
When starting MediaTomb for the first time, a .mediatomb directory will be
created in your home.
Further, a default server configuration file, called config.xml will be
generated in that directory.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Using Sqlite Database
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
If you are using sqlite - you are ready to go, the database file will be
created automatically and will be located ~/.mediatomb/mediatomb.db If needed
you can adjust the database file name and location in the server configuration
file.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Using MySQL Database
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
If MediaTomb was compiled with support for both databases, sqlite will be
chosen as default because the initial database can be created and used
without any user interaction.
If MediaTomb was compiled only with MySQL support, the appropriate config.xml
file will be created in the ~/.mediatomb directory, but the server will
then terminate, because user interaction is required.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
MediaTomb has to be able to connect to the MySQL server and at least the
(empty) database has to exist.
To create the database and provide MediaTomb with the ability to connect
to the MySQL server you need to have the appropriate permissions.
Note that user names and passwords in MySQL have nothing to do with UNIX
accounts, MySQL has it's own user names/passwords.
Connect to the MySQL database as
\begin_inset Quotes sld
\end_inset
root
\begin_inset Quotes srd
\end_inset
or any other user with the appropriate permissions:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
$ mysql [-u <username>] [-p]
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
(You'll probably need to use
\begin_inset Quotes sld
\end_inset
-u
\begin_inset Quotes srd
\end_inset
to specify a different MySQL user and
\begin_inset Quotes sld
\end_inset
-p
\begin_inset Quotes srd
\end_inset
to specify a password.)
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Create a new database for MediaTomb: (substitute
\begin_inset Quotes sld
\end_inset
<database name>
\begin_inset Quotes srd
\end_inset
with the name of the database)
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
mysql> CREATE DATABASE <database name>;
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
(You can also use
\begin_inset Quotes sld
\end_inset
mysqladmin
\begin_inset Quotes srd
\end_inset
instead.)
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Give MediaTomb the permissions to access the database:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
mysql> GRANT ALL ON <database name>.*
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
TO '<user name>'@'<hostname>'
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
IDENTIFIED BY '<password>';
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
If you don't want to set a password, omit
\begin_inset Quotes sld
\end_inset
IDENTIFIED BY ..
\begin_inset Quotes srd
\end_inset
completely.
You could also use the MySQL
\begin_inset Quotes sld
\end_inset
root
\begin_inset Quotes srd
\end_inset
user with MediaTomb directly, but this is not recommended.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
To create a database and a user named
\begin_inset Quotes sld
\end_inset
mediatomb
\begin_inset Quotes srd
\end_inset
(who is only able to connect via
\begin_inset Quotes sld
\end_inset
localhost
\begin_inset Quotes srd
\end_inset
) without a password (the defaults) use:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
mysql> CREATE DATABASE mediatomb;
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
mysql> GRANT ALL ON mediatomb.* TO 'mediatomb'@'localhost';
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
If MediaTomb was compiled with database auto creation the tables will be
created automatically during the first startup.
All table names have a
\begin_inset Quotes sld
\end_inset
mt_
\begin_inset Quotes srd
\end_inset
prefix, so you can theoretically share the database with a different applicatio
n.
However, this is not recommended.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
If database auto creation wasn't compiled in (configure was run with the
\begin_inset Quotes sld
\end_inset
--disable-db-autocreate
\begin_inset Quotes srd
\end_inset
or zlib.h was not available) you have to create the tables manually:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
$ mysql [-u <username>] [-p]
\backslash
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
<database name> <
\backslash
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
<install prefix>/share/mediatomb/mysql.sql
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
After creating the database and making the appropriate changes in your MediaTomb
config file you are ready to go - launch the server, and everything should
work.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Section
Command Line Options
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
There is a number of options that can be passed via command line upon server
start up, for a short summary you can invoke MediaTomb with the following
parameter:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
$ mediatomb --help
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Note: the command line options override settings in the configuration file!
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
IP Address
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
--ip or -i
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The server will bind to the given IP address, currently we can not bind
to multiple interfaces so binding to 0.0.0.0 will not be possible.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
Interface
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
--interface or -e
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Interface to bind to, for example eth0, this can be specified instead of
the ip address.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
Port
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
--port or -p
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Specify the server port that will be used for the web user interface, for
serving media and for UPnP requests, minimum allowed value is 49152.
If this option is omitted a default port will be chosen, however, in this
case it is possible that the port will change upon server restart.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
Configuration File
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
--config or -c
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
By default MediaTomb will search for a file named
\begin_inset Quotes sld
\end_inset
config.xml
\begin_inset Quotes srd
\end_inset
in the ~/.mediatomb directory.
This option allows you to specify a config file by the name and location
of your choice.
The file name must be absolute.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
Daemon Mode
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
--daemon or -d
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Run the server in background, MediaTomb will shutdown on SIGTERM, SIGINT
and restart on SIGHUP.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
Home Directory
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
--home or -m
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Specify an alternative home directory.
By default MediaTomb will try to retrieve the users home directory from
the environment, then it will look for a .mediatomb directory in users home.
If .mediatomb was found we will try to find the default configuration file
(config.xml), if not found we will create both, the .mediatomb directory
and the default config file.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
This option is useful in two cases: when the home directory can not be retrieved
from the environment (in this case you could also use -c to point MediaTomb
to your configuration file or when you want to create a new configuration
in a non standard location (for example, when setting up daemon mode).
In the latter case you can combine this parameter with the parameter described
in
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand ref
reference "sec:Config-Directory"
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
\begin_inset CommandInset label
LatexCommand label
name "sec:Config-Directory"
\end_inset
Config Directory
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
--cfgdir or -f
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The default configuration directory is combined out of the users home and
the default that equals to .mediatomb, this option allows you to override
the default directory naming.
This is useful when you want to setup the server in a nonstandard location,
but want that the default configuration to be written by the server.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
Write PID File
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
--pidfile or -P
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Specify a file that will hold the server process ID, the filename must be
absolute.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection

\begin_layout Standard
Run MediaTomb under the specified user name, this is especially useful in
combination with the daemon mode.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
Run Under Different Group
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
--group or -g
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Run MediaTomb under the specified group, this is especially useful in combinatio
n with the daemon mode.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
Add Content
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
--add or -a
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Add the specified directory or file name to the database without UI interaction.
The path must be absolute, if path is a directory then it will be added
recursively.
If path is a file, then only the given file will be imported.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
Log To File
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
--logfile or -l
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Do not output log messages to stdout, but redirect everything to a specified
file.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection

\end_layout
\begin_layout Section
Configuration File
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
MediaTomb is highly configurable and allows the user to set various options
and preferences that define the servers behavior.
Rather than enforcing certain features upon the user, we prefer to offer
a number of choices where possible.
The heart of MediaTomb configuration is the config.xml file, which is located
in the ~/.mediatomb directory.
If the configuration file is not found in the default location and no configura
tion was specified on the command line, MediaTomb will generate a default
config.xml file in the ~/.mediatomb directory.
The file is in the XML format and can be edited by a simple text editor,
here is the list of all available options:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
"
\series bold
\emph on
Required
\series default
\emph default
" means that the server will not start if the tag is missing in the configuratio
n.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
"
\series bold
\emph on
Optional
\series default
\emph default
" means that the tag can be left out of the configuration file.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The root tag of MediaTomb configuration is:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
<config>
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
Server Settings
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
These settings define the server configuration, this includes UPnP behavior,
selection of database, accounts for the UI as well as installation locations
of shared data.

WARNING!
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The server has an integrated filesystem browser, that means that anyone
who has access to the UI can browse your filesystem (with user permissions
under which the server is running) and also download your data! If you
want maximum security - disable the UI completely! Account authentication
offers simple protection that might hold back your kids, but it is not
secure enough for use in an untrusted environment!
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Note: since the server is meant to be used in a home LAN environment the
UI is enabled by default and accounts are deactivated, thus allowing anyone
on your network to connect to the user interface.

\begin_layout Standard
The poll-when-idle attribute influences the behavior of displaying current
tasks: - when the user does something in the UI (i.e.
clicks around) we always poll for the current task and will display it
- if a task is active, we will continue polling in the background and update
the current task view accordingly - when there is no active task (i.e.
the server is currently idle) we will stop the background polling and only
request updates upon user actions, but not when the user is idle (i.e.
does not click around in the UI)
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Setting poll-when-idle to "yes" will do background polling even when there
are no current tasks; this may be useful if you defined multiple users
and want to see the tasks the other user is queuing on the server while
you are actually idle.

Extended Runtime Options
\end_layout

<extended-runtime-options>
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
These options reside under the server tag and allow to additinally control
the so called "runtime options".
The difference to the import options is:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Import options are only triggered when data is being imported into the database,
this means that if you want new settings to be applied to already imported
data, you will have to reimport it.
Runtime options can be switched on and off without the need to reimport
any media.
Unfortunately you still need to restart the server so that these options
take effect, however after that they are immediately active.

\begin_layout Standard
Ffmpegthumbnailer is a nice, easy to use library that allows to generate
thumbnails from video files.
Some DLNA compliant devices support video thumbnails, if you think that
your device may be one of those you can try enabling this option.
It would also make sense to enable the protocolInfo option, since it will
add specific DLNA tags to tell your device that a video thumbnail is being
offered by the server.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Note: thumbnails are not cached and not stored anywhere, they will be generated
on the fly in memory and released afterwards.
If your device supports video thumbnails and requests them from the server
in large amounts, the performance when browsing video containers will depend
on the speed of your machine.
A feature to allow caching of thumbnails is planned for future releases.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The following options allow to control the ffmpegthumbnailer library (these

This is an advanced feature, leave the default setting if unsure.
Usually, when items are modified we send out container updates as specified
in the Content Directory Service.
This notifies the player that data in a particular container has changed,
players that support CDS updates will rebrowse the container and refresh
the view.
However, in this case we probably do not want it (this actually depends
on the particular player implementation).
For example, if we update the list of currently playing items, the player
could interrupt playback and rebrowse the current container - clearly an
unwatned behaviour.
Because of this, we provide an option to suppress and not send out container
updates - only for the case where the item is marked as "played".
In order to see the changes you will have to get out of the current container
and enter it again - then the view on your player should get updated.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Note: some players (i.e.
PS3) cache a lot of data and do not react to container updates, for those
players it may be necessary to leave the server view or restart the player
in order to update content (same as when adding new data).

This section makes sure that the server knows about remapped mimetypes and
still extracts the metadata correctly.
For example, we know that id3lib can only handle mp3 files, the default
mimetype of mp3 content is audio/mpeg.
If the user remaps mp3 files to a different mimetype, we must know about
it so we can still pass this item to id3lib for metadata extraction.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Note: if this section is not present in your config file, the defaults will
be filled in automatically.
However, if you add an empty tag, without defining the following <treat>
tags, the server will assume that you want to have an empty list and no
files will be process by the metadata handler.

\begin_layout Standard
This section holds options for the various supported import libraries, it
is useful in conjunction with virtual container scripting, but also allows
to tune some other features as well.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Currently the library-options allow additional extraction of the so called
auxilary data (explained below) and provide control over the video thumbnail
generation.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Here is some information on the auxdata: UPnP defines certain tags to pass
along metadata of the media (like title, artist, year, etc.), however some
media provides more metadata and exceeds the scope of UPnP.
This additional metadata can be used to fine tune the server layout, it
allows the user to create a more complex container structure using a customized
import script.
The metadata that can be extracted depends on the library, currently we
support libebexif which provides a default set of keys that can be passed
in the options below.
The data according to those keys will the be extracted from the media and
imported into the database along with the item.
When processing the item, the import script will have full access to the
gathered metadata, thus allowing the user to organize the data with the
use of the extracted information.
A practical example would be: if have more than one digital camera in your
family you could extract the camera model from the Exif tags and sort your
photos in a structure of your choice, like:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Photos/MyCamera1/All Photos
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Photos/MyCamera1/Date
\end_layout

Often, online content can be directly accessed by the player - we will just
give it the URL.
However, sometimes it may be necessary to proxy the content through MediaTomb.
This setting defines the buffer size in bytes, that will be used when fetching
content from the web.
The value must not be less than allowed by the curl library (usually 16384
bytes).

\begin_layout Standard
This setting allows to prebuffer a certain amount of data, given in bytes,
before sending it to the player, this should ensure a constant data flow
in case of slow connections.
Usually this setting is not needed, because most players will anyway have
some kind of buffering, however if the connection is particularly slow
you may want to try enable this setting.

YouTube Service
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
MediaTomb allows you to watch YouTube videos using your UPnP device, you
can specify what content you are interested in, we will import the meta
data and present it in the database, so you can browse the content on your
player just like you do it with your local data.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
WANING: by using this feature you may be violating the YouTube service terms
and conditions:
\begin_inset CommandInset href
LatexCommand href
target "http://www.youtube.com/t/terms"
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Note: we do not download/mirror the actual videos, we only get description
of the content and present it in the database.
The actual video is only streamed when you press play on your device.
So, when we use the term
\begin_inset Quotes sld
\end_inset
retrieve videos
\begin_inset Quotes srd
\end_inset
we actually mean retrieving the video name, description and associated
meta data, not the actual flv file.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Note: so far we have not yet seen many devices that will natively support
the .flv format, you will need to setup appropriate transcoding profiles
to make use of the YouTube feature.

Refresh interval in seconds, each time the interval elapses we will contact
the YouTube server and fetch new meta data, presenting the changes in the
database view.
This allows you to stay up to date with what is available on YouTube, you
probably should not need to update more than once per day, so specify a
reasonably high value here.
Setting the option to 0 (zero) disables automatic refreshing.

\begin_layout Standard
Time amount in seconds when data that has not been updated is considered
old and can be purged from the database.
This setting helps to prevent an endless filling of the database with YouTube
meta data, the idea is the following: each video has a unique ID, during
a refresh cycle the video meta data will be imported into the database
and a time stamp will be added.
Each refresh cycle we may encounter same content (i.e.
nothing changed on the YouTube site), we will update the time stamp.
However, if a particular video is no longer available on YouTube it will
not be refreshed, once the time stamp exceeds the purge-after value we
will remove the meta data for this particular video from the database.

This option defines if we will contact the service right after MediaTomb
was started (about 10 seconds after start up) or if data should be fetched
when the first refresh cycle kicks in.
It may be useful if you frequently restart the server and do not want the
content to be updated each time.

In case you have transcoders that can not handle online content directly
(see the accept-url parameter below), it is possible to put the transcoder
between two FIFOs, in this case MediaTomb will fetch the online content.
This setting defines the buffer size in bytes, that will be used when fetching
content from the web.
The value must not be less than allowed by the curl library (usually 16384
bytes).

This setting allows to prebuffer a certain amount of data before sending
it to the transcoder, this should ensure a constant data flow in case of
slow connections.
Usually this setting is not needed, because most transcoders will just
patiently wait for data and we anyway buffer on the output end.
However, we observed that ffmpeg will fail to transcode flv files if it
encounters buffer underruns - this setting helps to avoid this situation.

Different mime types can map to the same profile in case that the transcoder
in use supports various input formats.
The same mime type can also map to several profiles, in this case multiple
resources in the XML will be generated, allowing the player to decide which
one to take.

It is possible to offer more than one resource in the browse result, a good
player implementation will go through all resources and pick the one that
it can handle best.
Unfortunately most players only look at the first resource and ignore the
rest.
When you add a transcoding profile for a particular media type it will
show up as an additional resource in the browse result, using this parameter
you can make sure that the transcoded resource appears first in the list.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Note: if more than one transcoding profile is applied on one source media
type (i.e.
you transcode an OGG file to MP3 and to PCM), and the first-resource parameter
is specified in both profiles, then the resource positions are undefined.

These settings help you to achieve a smooth playback of transcoded media.
The actual values need to be tuned and depend on the speed of your system.
The general idea is to buffer the data before sending it out to the player,
it is also possible to delay first playback until the buffer is filled
to a certain amount.
The prefill should give you enough space to overcome some high bitrate
scenes in case your system can not transcode them in real time.

This is a special option which was added for the PS3 users.
If the resolution option (see above) was set, then, depending on the resolution
an special DLNA tag will be added, marking the resource as a thumbnail.
This is useful if you have a transcoding script that extracts an image
out of the video and presents it as a thumbnail.

\begin_layout Standard
Some additional settings in MediaTomb configuration are required to enable
special features for the DSM renderers.
If you have a DSM-320 and are experiencing problems during AVI playback,
add the following to the server section of your config.xml:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
<custom-http-headers>
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
<add header="X-User-Agent: redsonic"/>
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
</custom-http-headers>
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Further, the DSM-320 behaves differently if it thinks that it is dealing
with the D-Link server.
Add the following to the server section of your configuration to enable
srt subtitle support:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
<manufacturerURL>redsonic.com</manufacturerURL>
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
<modelNumber>105</modelNumber>
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
It is still being investigated, but we were able to get subtitles working
with a U.S.
DSM-320 unit running firmware version 1.09
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Also, the DSM-510 (probably also valid for other models) will only play
avi files if the mimetype is set to video/avi, you may want to add a mapping
for that to the extension-mimetype section in your config.xml:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
<map from="avi" to="video/avi"/>

Users reported that after a firmwre upgrade the device stopped working properly.
It seems that it does not sue the UPnP Browse action anymore, but now uses
the optional Search action which is not implemented in MediaTomb.

and the DMA disconnecting from the server.
Incresing the alive interval seems to solve the problem - add the following
option to the <server> section of your configuration file:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
<alive>600</alive>
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Additionally, the DMA expects that avi files are serverd with the mime type
of video/avi, so add the following to the <extensoin-mimetype> section
in your configuration file:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Code
<map from="avi" to="video/avi"/>

Also, add this to the <mimetype-contenttype> section:

Network Attached Storage Devices

\begin_layout Standard
We provide a bitbake metadata file for the OpenEmbedded environment, it
allows to easily cross compile MediaTomb for various platforms.
We have successfully tested MediaTomb on ARM and MIPSel based devices,
so it should be possible to install and run the server on various Linux
based NAS products that are available on the market.
\end_layout

So far two devices are shipped with a preinstalled version of MediaTomb,
community firmware versions are available for the rest.

Running The Server
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
When you run MediaTomb for the first time a default configuration will be
created in the ~/.mediatomb directory.
If you are using the sqlite database no further intervention is necessary,
if you are using MySQL you will have to make some adjustments (see Configuratio
n section for more details).
To start the server simply run "mediatomb" from the console, to shutdown
cleanly press Ctrl-C.
At start up MediaTomb will print a link to the web UI.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Note: Internet Explorer support is limited and not yet finished.
It is very difficult to support this browser because of a huge number of
bugs in its javascript implementation.
If you don't believe us - just visit
\begin_inset CommandInset href
LatexCommand href
name "http://selfhtml.org/"
target "http://selfhtml.org/"
\end_inset
and see how often IE is mentioned in not following the specs or simply
not working with certain functions and features.
We recommend Firefox.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
If you want to run a second server from the same PC, make sure to use a
different configuration file with a different udn and a different database.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
After server launch the bookmark file is created in the ~/.mediatomb directory.
You now can manually add the bookmark ~/.mediatomb/mediatomb.html in your
browser.
This will redirect you to the UI if the server is running.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Assuming that you enabled the UI, you should now be able to get around quite
easily.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
We also support the daemon mode which allows to start the server in background,
the --user and --group parameters should be used to run the server under
an unprivileged account.
A script for starting/stopping the server is provided.
