twonky and subsonic

[LaTristesse]

I"ve searched the forum for a related topic but it seems nobody is interested either in twonky media server nor subsonic. Is there a way to install this media sevrers or are they allready in the repositories?

I don't think Twonky will ever make it (until we hear from their developers) since it's x86-only for now. But you can build and install Subsonic with a little bit of time:

Code: Select all

pacman -Sy yaourt
yaourt -S subsonic


You'll be asked if you want to edit the PKGBUILD file. Say yes. Go down to the arch=('i686'...) line and add 'arm' before the closing ) parenthesis. CTRL+X, and Y to save it. It may ask if you want to edit the install file - say no. It may want to build more stuff - just keep changing the PKGBUILD to be 'arm' and don't edit the install files.

And at the end it'll ask whether it should install the package file. Say yes.

thanks for answering. I'll get an error while building:

Code: Select all

=> Continue building subsonic ? [Y/n]

What does it mean?

I didn't have any problem getting TwonkyMedia to run:

wget http://www.twonkyforum.com/downloads/6. ... 6.0.23.zip

and then follow the instructions here:

Nice, now that we have Java

Nice, now that we have Java

and how do we get java? I'm hitting a wall.

[crimsonredmk]

pacman -Sy openjdk6-debian
pacman -Ss openjre (I forgot the actual name of the package, oops)

[kronos]

Not sure if you are asking how I installed Java but I didn't. Twonky doesn't need Java, or at least the version I am using.

[zachofalltrades]

I had initially installed openjre7, but then subsonic listed openjdk6 as a dependency. And then openjdk6 conflicted with openjre7. I used abs, and modified the subsonic package to depend on openjre7 and then it installed fine. It took a few tries to get it to actually run, and I did not keep a good record of the tweaks I made to finally get it going. But if anyone needs help with it, I'll try to point them in the right direction.

I'm in the same spot that zachofalltrades was. I get the following error:

Code: Select all

==> Building and installing package
==> Install or build missing dependencies for subsonic:
error: 'jre': could not find or read package
==> WARNING: Dependencies have been installed before the failure
==> Restart building subsonic ? [y/N]


And have no clue how to modify the package with ABS to remove the circular dependency - any help would be appreciated.
