I've been looking for a way to configure this(since i dont know how to get a GUI to show), and cant seem to figure it out. I've checked in /etc/conf.d, but nothing's there for this...

When you update to x264 20130206-1 be sure to rebuild this package before you use air-video. Otherwise, the thumbnail cache will become corrupted. The thumbnails you view within the window of upgrading x264 and re-building air-video-server will become corrupted from that point forward. What's more, the videos whose thumbnails become corrupt won't play at all. Thumbnails viewed after re-building air-video-server will work fine. If this happens to you, after you rebuild this package simply delete the thumbnail database files from ~/.air-video-server and possibly also /root/.air-video-server (depending on which user runs air-video-server in your setup). This will force air-video to regenerate the thumbnail database. Took me ages to figure out what was happening but after I realized it was probably a thumbnail cache issue, lsof quickly pointed me to the thumbnail caches to force regeneration.

Just a heads up: Twice already, on headless servers, I've ended up needing the libcups package. Thumbnails wouldn't load, and trying to view a video would give an error in the client, but no crash on the server. So I copied /etc/conf.d/air-video-server to ~/.air-video-server/air-video-server and ran air-video-server verbose. When viewing a video listing, this came up: DEBUG: Thumbnail: Metadata:java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /usr/lib/jvm/ java-7-openjdk/jre/lib/amd64/headless/libmawt.so: libcups.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Installing libcups resolved the issues. I imagine most people didn't encounter this issue because they already had libcups installed.

Package update (2.4.6-beta3_5): 1. added -Djava.awt.headless=true to java line in script (Thanks antoinemartin & discipulus) 2. added fontconfig to dependencies (Thanks discipulus)

Alright, I got it working. I had to add -Djava.awt.headless=true to the launch script (/usr/bin/air-video-server) and I needed to install fontconfig. Any chance you could add fontconfig to the dependencies list for those that are attempting to run this without a GUI? It would be helpful :-)

Can't get it working. I'm getting an error message about: DEBUG: Thumbnail: Metadata:java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class java.awt.Toolkit Any ideas?

@benwbooth: Finally migrated to pure systemd. Turns out, "Type=forking" is used for executables that are daemons in nature, ie. forks out after being run (eg. mysqld, httpd, etc), and not for regular executables like java, etc. Thanks for the heads up :)

nevermind. Found it all in /etc/conf.d

jrussell commented on 2012-09-08 12:05 (UTC)

Could somebody tell me how to configure this? I cant seem to find a config file anywhere, Ive tried starting it as myself (jason), no config file in ~/.config, Ive run it as a daemon too, no luck.
