Configure and Optimize Fuppes Media Server on Ubuntu

This guide is on configuring and optimizing Fuppes Media Server, which will help improve the standard of you media playback. While enhancing the standard of your media, I will also show you tips on how to make your DLNA and UPnp units more appropriate with the Fuppes Media Server. To start configuring and optimizing the Fuppes Media Server, you’ll wish to open up the fuppes.cfg file. The fuppes.cfg file may very well be positioned in a number of different areas on you Ubuntu linux server. Once you open up your fuppes.cfg information, you must have a file that appears like my original fuppes.cfg.

vi /root/.fuppes/fuppes.cfg
vi /home/USERNAME/fuppes.cfg
vi /etc/fuppes/fuppes.cfg

The very first thing that you are going to want to do is add the directories to the place your media is presently positioned in your linux server. This needs to be located at around line four or 5 within the fuppes.cfg file.

<!–/Users/…/iTunes.xml–>

/var/www/Media/Movies/

/var/www/Media/Music

/var/www/Media/Pictures-Home-Videos

After you have situated you media directories and have inserted the folder locations into your fuppes.cfg recordsdata, you’ll then must specify to Fuppes on what ip deal with and port number to run the media server on. As a substitute of specifying a sure ip tackle, it’s also possible to insert the community interface instead. And many others …eth0, eth1.

<!–empty = automatic detection–>

eth0

<!–empty or 0 = random port–>

10001

<!–list of ip addresses allowed to access fuppes. if empty all ips are allowed–>

<!–192.168.0.1–>

The following factor that you’re going to want to do is enable DLNA. Scroll all the way down to about line forty four and alter false to true.

false

Lastly scroll right down to about line 186 and enable the ps3 for usage along with your fuppes media server.

UPnP/1.0 DLNADOC/1.00
PLAYSTATION3

Then scroll all the way down to line one hundred ninety and make sure that once more DLNA is enabled for the ps 3.

true

After you have enabled the PS3 and dlna, all you have to do now could be make sure that transcoding is enabled in the fuppes.cfg file for the playstation 3.

Getting Started with Ubuntu Linux

Ever wondered what using an operating system other than Windows would be like?  Well, there are options!  Most people don’t realize they can install a completely different operating system on their computer.  They trudge along in misery using Windows XP, while they could be using a newer, faster operating system that does everything Windows does and more.

So what is this other option and how much does it cost?

Linux.  And it’s free.

Free?  Well, you say, if it’s free it probably isn’t that great.  You’d be surprised just how polished and fast it runs, even on old hardware.

So where can I get Linux?  You can download it from a number of places.  Here is a link to the Ubuntu Linux OS downloads page.  Ubuntu is one of the better Linux “flavors”.  Yes, there are a bunch of different Linux “distros” to choose from.  Some are made for specialized applications, like audio production, or for use on older hardware.  Others, like Ubuntu, are for end users looking for a nice desktop OS.

Once downloaded, you’ll need to install it onto your computer.  This is where things get tricky and most people will hit snags here.  First thing to remember is don’t do any harm to your current Windows setup.  The best bet is to install Linux onto a separate hard disk, or onto a flash drive for testing purposes.  If you aren’t too technically savvy, then your best bet is to hook into a local Linux user group, a group of Linux fanatics in your area, who’d probably love to assist you.  Do a search for a linux user group in your area here.

Once installed, where do I go for support?  Again, this is where Linux shines.  Rather than calling Microsoft support and getting some person sitting in a call center in another country reading off of a script, you can tap into the community of Linux users for help.  They are usually a very friendly bunch, willing to help you make the jump to Linux.  In the past, Linux had a reputation for users who were a little rude towards new users, but lately things are changing and the Ubuntu user forums are especially friendly to new users.  

The most important thing is don’t give up when you hit a snag.  Once you “get it”, Linux is a wonderful, powerful alternative to Windows.
