I'm a big fan of fuppes, a free, open source, upnp, dlna media server with transcoding ability. So, I decided to build it for the NMT (well, I've only tested it on my PCH A110).
I only use it to stream flac and mp3 audio files to my denon receiver so I have not tested any of the transcoding ability, let me know if you have success or failure with that..
Included Libraries
I have compiled in support for and included the libraries for:
- taglib
- flac
- lame
- vorbis
- ogg
Of which, I've only tested taglib.
Downloading
The only release available is a Community Software Installer (CSI) package.
This is yet to be included in the CSI repository, but can be installed via the CSI's file menu.
The latest release can be downloaded from:
fuppes-0.629.0-order_patch-flac-ogg-vorbis-0.1.zip
Manual Install
It is strongly suggested to install using CSI, but if you must install this by hand, you can unzip the contents then untar the tar file to /share/Apps/fuppes (it must be this location exactly).
mkdir fuppes
cd fuppes
tar xvf /share/fuppes-0.629.0-order_patch-flac-ogg-virbis-0.1.tar
This will provide you with two scripts for starting fuppes:
- /share/Apps/fuppes/fuppes.sh
- /share/Apps/fuppes/fuppesd.sh
Instructions
A default fuppes.cfg file is included and gets installed to /share/Apps/fuppes/.fuppes/fuppes.cfg. Modify this file as needed. A few options can be modified via the web interface.
The default port setting is 55555 so direct your browser to http://your-pch-ipaddress:55555 to get to the fuppes web interface.
Music folders can be added via the web interface you need to provide a full path to your music collection, for example /share/Music
Once your collection is added, via the web interface, select rebuild library to begin scanning your files.
