- AmahiTunes is an Amahi-customized one-click app version of the FireFly Media Server.
- To install manually without customizations, Open Terminal as root and do the following:
INSTALL DEPENDENCIES
| bash code |
|---|
yum install libid3tag libid3tag-devel howl-devel gdbm-devel zlib-devel
|
CREATE A TEMP DIRECTORY TO WORK WITHIN
| bash code |
|---|
mkdir /tmp/mytunes cd /tmp/mytunes
|
GET mt-daapd, EXTRACT, BUILD, INSTALL IT
| bash code |
|---|
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/mt-daapd/mt-daapd-0.2.4.2.tar.gz tar -xzf mt-daapd-0.2.4.2.tar.gz cd mt-daapd-0.2.4.2 ./configure make make install
|
MOVE FILES NOT INSTALLED BY 'make install'
- First, edit mt-daapd.conf to match our needs.
| bash code |
|---|
vi contrib/mt-daapd.conf
|
- Change:
- web_root to /usr/local/share/mt-daapd/admin-root
- mp3_dir to /var/hda/files/music
- servername to myTunes
- extensions to .mp3,.m4a,.m4p,.ogg,.flac
- rescan_interval to 600
- # always_scan 0 to always_scan 1 (Don't forget to remove the #)
| bash code |
|---|
cp contrib/mt-daapd.conf /etc/ cp contrib/mt-daapd /etc/init.d/ chown nobody /etc/mt-daapd.conf chmod 600 /etc/mt-daapd.conf
|
MAKE SURE mt-daapd STARTS AT BOOT
| bash code |
|---|
ln -s /usr/local/sbin/mt-daapd /usr/bin /sbin/chkconfig --add mt-daapd /etc/init.d/mt-daapd start
|
- If everything went right, your music server is now running.
CLEAN UP
| bash code |
|---|
cd .. rm -rf /tmp/mytunes
|
CREATE AN AMAHI DASHBOARD LINK
- Login to your Amahi dashboard. Click 'Apps', 'Webapps' then 'New Web App'
- Give your app a name like 'myTunes'
- Keep the default path and click 'Create'.
LINK mt-daapd WEB INTERFACE WITH AMAHI DASHBOARD
- Go back to Terminal.
| bash code |
|---|
vi /var/hda/web-apps/myTunes/html/index.html
|
NOTE: to use the app name you entered, if something other than 'myTunes'.
- Enter the following and save:
| Text |
|---|
<html> <head><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1;url=http://hda:3689"></head> </html>
|
| bash code |
|---|
chown apache:apache /var/hda/web-apps/myTunes/html/index.html
|
ENJOY
Go back to the Amahi Dashboard and click on the link to your new web app, it should bounce straight to mt-daapd's web interface where you can modify the app settings, check status, etc.
The administrator login is:
Name: mt-daapd
Password: mt-daapd
