SubSonic v2 Guide
Of course your gonna need to have PuTTY or Terminal ready to go
SSH into your drive
Run this command to remove the claims the MBL puts on some system files
rm -f /var/lib/dpkg/info/wd-nas.*
Now we want to rename our sources.list and create a new one
mv /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.bak
nano /etc/apt/sources.list
Now copy and paste the following sources into the blank PuTTY/Terminal window (Right click mouse button)
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main
deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org wheezy main non-free
Hit control and o
Hit enter
Hit control and x
This will save the file
Now we need to change permissions on the file
chmod 755 /etc/apt/sources.list
Now lets update our sources and install ffmpeg (Type y to install without verification if asked and also type y if asked to continue)
apt-get update
apt-get install deb-multimedia-keyring
apt-get update
apt-get install ffmpeg
Now let’s install Java (Type y to install without verification if asked and also type y if asked to continue)
apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk
Now let’s create a SubSonic directory and enter it
mkdir /var/subsonic/
cd /var/subsonic
Download SubSonic
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/subsonic/files/subsonic/4.8/subsonic-4.8-standalone.tar.gz
Extract SubSonic
tar xvf subsonic-4.8-standalone.tar.gz
Delete the SubSonic tarball and change permissions
rm -f subsonic*.tar.gz
chmod +x subsonic.sh
Now we need to make a transcode folder and symlink it to ffmpeg
mkdir /var/subsonic/transcode
cd transcodeln -s /usr/bin/ffmpeg /var/subsonic/transcode
Start the SubSonic server
/var/subsonic/subsonic.sh
Restore your sources.list
rm -f /etc/apt/sources.listmv /etc/apt/sources.list.bak /etc/apt/sources.list
Now in your web browser type in http://your mybooklive name or ip:4040
The Web Server won’t respond for a few minutes so keep trying
If asked
user: admin
password:admin
