I've tried installing lame and ffmpeg through ipkg and linking the lame and ffmpeg to the transcode directory, but it doesn't seem to work. Can someone with a QNAP NAS tell me how they did it? Many thanks.

Here's some examples of what I did:

Code: Select all

[/share/HDA_DATA/subsonic/transcode] # ln -s /opt/lib/libmp3lame.la /share/HDA_DATA/subsonic/transcode/lame/libmp3lame.la
[/share/HDA_DATA/subsonic/transcode] # ln -s /opt/lib/libmp3lame.so.0.0.0 /share/HDA_DATA/subsonic/transcode/lame/libmp3lame.so.0.0.0
[/share/HDA_DATA/subsonic/transcode] # ln -s /opt/lib/libmp3lame.so.0 /share/HDA_DATA/subsonic/transcode/lame/libmp3lame.so.0       
[/share/HDA_DATA/subsonic/transcode] # ln -s /opt/lib/libmp3lame.so /share/HDA_DATA/subsonic/transcode/lame/libmp3lame.so 


I've tried many variations in naming, etc. Thanks again.[/quote]

I just completed this task on my TS-239 PROII

My linked /var/subsonic is located at /share/HDA_DATA/subsonic/

Install LAME. I used the ipkg qpkg then

# ipkg install lame

This installed the LAME libraries into /opt/lib

I used:
# ln -s /opt/bin/lame /share/HDA_DATA/subsonic/transcode/lame

I then restarted tomcat:

#/etc/init.d/tomcat.sh restart

And it worked.

I think your issue is:

[/share/HDA_DATA/subsonic/transcode] # ln -s /opt/lib/libmp3lame.la /share/HDA_DATA/subsonic/transcode/lame/libmp3lame.la

should leave off the underlined part.

ipkg is a QPKG that must be installed like java and tomcat. Once installed you can call it from the command line. It is a package manager.
