How to get subsonic to work on Synology DS1511+ (10/17/2012)

Hi Gamezonline, did you manage to do something on the Autostart script? If so, can you please share. This is highly appreciated.

Many thanks.

auto start script works, and is in the OP. far as the auto restart script go's no i have not found a fix for that. to tell the truth haven't had a need to as subsonic have not crashed on me ones

Gamezonline,

If possible from your side could you take a look at my files I'm working, where everytime I have to restart the file subsonic.sh script. Command for this: sh /var/subsonic/standalone/subsonic.sh

This is what I have:
Subsonic version 4.5.beta1 (build 2285) – June 19, 2011 installed in: /var/subsonic/standalone/
Java installed: /usr/java/jre1.6.0_26

Subsonic.sh code:

I hope this gives you or others an idea of the installation I have and how to solve the issue that I have to restart subsonic.sh everytime. Don't if it a crash, I'm not clear on that yet.

Many thanks and regards,

hmm, everything looks ok. just to make sure

did you change permission on both S99Subsonic.sh & subsonic.sh to 777? If you didnt or not sure use this.

Code: Select all

chmod 777 /var/subsonic/standalone/subsonic.sh


Code: Select all

chmod 777 /usr/syno/etc/rc.d/S99Subsonic.sh


reboot your nas, and subsonic should autostart. (you can reboot via telnet just by entering "reboot" command

Gamezonline,

This worked!! Many thanx. U R the Star of my week.

Everything is working very fine (with latest beta 4.5.1)

BUT
I'm unable to use LAME.
I created a subdir transcode (in /var/subsonic/standalone/transcode)
Moved the necessary files
and nothing works

I need some help

Much thanks for this tutorial

[IWarez]

My lame is located in \var\subsonic\transcode. That should help

[stanthewizzard]

In fact I think i need lame and ffmepg for linux.
Can't find it .....

[IWarez]

I think you are up for some hardcore console action . I compiled both lame and ffmpeg from source. For that you will need to install GCC. I don't think it is possible to just copy the binaries from my system to yours. The compile process puts the compiled files at several locations and I have no idea what is required where.

edit:
Just to try it and prevent you from headaches I created a zip file with the structure I think you need. Download the file from here and extract it to /usr/local. You could test the binaries by executing /usr/local/bin/lame and|or /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg. If that works all you need to do is create the symbolic links to ffmpeg and lame in /var/subsonic/transcode

edit 2:
I played around even more and you are probably able to enter the command:
ipkg install lame

That will install lame for you. ffmpeg is already on your synology box. It's located in /usr/syno/bin

This will still require you to make symbolic links in the /var/subsonic/transcode folder but it won't require compiling!

[stanthewizzard]

OMG

I really don't know how to do all that

1° I don't have ipkg installation.
2° I don't know how to make a symbolic link

I'm new to linux


BTW
on the Syno ... subsonic crash almost alway. Do you have the pb to ??

Many thanks

I was the same way when i first got my nas, but as for me I was hell bent on learning Linux. To tell the truth, had to use the recovery disk on my nas a few times when I was new new to Linux, now i'm just there. :p

A little disclaimer, what you about to do is change the bootstrap to enable ipkg, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DATA LOST WILL DOING THIS!!!

1. Ran 'cd /volume1/tmp'
3. entered the command 'wget http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optwa ... _i686.xsh'
4. Ran 'sh syno-i686-bootstrap_1.2-7_i686.xsh'
5. Rebooted the NAS with 'reboot' command
6. Updated the ipkg list of available packages using the command 'ipkg update'

Oh almost for got here how you use symbolic links

[stanthewizzard]

Aouch
Changing the bootstrap .... maybe with a NAS with no important data ... not on this NAS.
I'll try on my spare one at work !!! (test only nas)

[IWarez]

About the crashes you mention: I have none. Subsonic and a few other services run flawlessly on my ds710.

Regarding the bootstrap: it sounds harder than it is. It's really nothing different than running a batch file on Windows. I have yet to encounter any problems with it.

thanks gamezonline for the

Code: Select all

kill -9 $(ps | grep java | grep subsonic | awk '{print $1}')

my old kill code were 3 lines with an if...

I have copied this to my start-stop-status script in the .spk Synology package file I am working on.

I have also made a x86 version but can't test it, so it would be nice if somebody can test if transcoding works.

I'll be happy to give it a try for you, but I'm currently out town for the holidays, and don't like to "test" stuff without having physical access to the nas, if you no what I mean.
