Installing latest MediaTomb on CentOS 5.x 32-bit

February 23rd, 2010

If I ever have to do it again.. since it turned out to be extremely easy (if you look a little longer and resists compiling it from source), here is how to install MediaTomb on CentOS (or in my case ”Installing MediaTomb on CentOS 5.4″);

“[MediaTomb is] an open source (GPL) UPnP MediaServer with a web user interface and AV transcoding support” (Wikipedia)

MediaTomb can be read about and downloaded (in source form) from  http://mediatomb.cc/

(Found the right software packages from http://rpm.pbone.net)

1. download MediaTomb RPM – you don’t want to build from source;

[root@legoland mt]# wget ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/centos.karan.org/el5/extras/testing/i386/RPMS/mediatomb-0.11.0-1.el5.kb.i386.rpm

2. download Required lib;

[root@legoland mt]# wget ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/centos.karan.org/el5/extras/testing/i386/RPMS/taglib-1.5-1.el5.kb.i386.rpm
(note I installed my CentOS with all the readily available development tools and libraries from DVD)

3. Install the sucker;

[root@legoland mt]# rpm -i taglib-1.5-1.el5.kb.i386.rpm


[root@legoland mt]# rpm -i mediatomb-0.11.0-1.el5.kb.i386.rpm

4. Find out which netword card to use (most likely its ‘eth0′)

[root@legoland log]# ifconfig -a|egrep "inet addr|eth|wlan"


eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:0F:EA:8A:F7:76


inet addr:10.1.1.90  Bcast:10.255.255.255  Mask:255.0.0.0


inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0


wlan0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:0F:B5:4F:79:71
In my case you see the only card with an IP address is ‘eth0′

5. Change the config and select your network card;

[root@legoland mt]# vi /etc/mediatomb.conf


In my case, change FROM;


MT_INTERFACE="NOT_SET"


TO:


MT_INTERFACE="eth0"

6. See which port it runs on;

[root@legoland log]# grep MT_PORT /etc/mediatomb.conf


MT_PORT="50500"

7. Start it;

[root@legoland mt]# /etc/init.d/mediatomb start

8. Make sure Mediatomb is up and running;

[root@legoland mt]# /etc/init.d/mediatomb status


[root@legoland mt]# cat /var/log/mediatomb

2010-02-23 22:15:56    INFO: http://10.1.1.90:50500/

9. You can see its available now on;

http://10.1.1.90:50500/

10. Go to that address above in a browser and have fun!

(remember if your firewall is enabled, you must open the port – do this in GNOME if you have the UI under “System” -> “Administration” -> “Security Level and Firewall”)
