Serviio
[Release Information]
Serviio v0.52_b1
Release Date - 19.06.2011
The initial release.
Serviio v0.6_b1
Release date - 24.09.2011
Safe to update from previous version. This version does not come with a web interface so in order to configure serviio follow the instructions from here.
The QPKG comes bundled with the ffmpeg version posted on the serviio download page, lame 3.98-4 and librtmp 2.4.
Serviio v0.6_b2
Release date - 24.09.2011
Add the updated web interface from here
Serviio v0.6_b3
Release date - 29.09.2011
Removed the previous web interface because it wasn't fully compatible with our boxes and added Kairo's web interface, more info here. It takes a while to load but works okay after that.
The new version cannot be protected via password for now so be careful not to forward the 8123 port to the internet.
Also, the script will load any plugins that are copied into the SERVIIO_HOME/plugins folder automatically at startup.
Serviio v0.6_b4
Release date - 10.10.2011
Updated to the latest available Serviio version 0.6.0.1.
The web interface has been changed back to the initial one because Kairo's one was causing more issues then the other one. The bug with the presentation tab is still there.
Included the three official plugins: GameTrailers, Youtube and Iplayer.
Serviio v0.6_b6
Release date - 13.02.2012
Updated to the latest available Serviio version 0.6.2.
This QPKG contains both web interfaces available for servio, Kairo's java one and the php one maintained by Mark Pemberton. The link in the NAS web interface will lead to the php one only. If you want to access the other one, you will need to navigate to http://NAS_IP_ADDRESS:8123/serviio/console. There is no way to secure this web interface for now, so this could be an issue for people that have their NAS in the DMZ (which isn't a very good idea to start with).
The bug with the presentation tab in the PHP web interface is still there.
The ARM version uses ffmpeg 0.8 git version because I couldn't get ffmpeg 0.9 to compile properly.
Included also the latest version of the available pack from here
Serviio v0.6_b7
Release date - 26.02.2012
Managed to compile ffmpeg 0.9 for ARM as well. Also, made a few changes to start/stop script.
Also added the latest plugins pack.

[Other thoughts]
You will need to setup the server before using it. In order to do that you can either use the built in web interface or the serviio console (more info about that here.
Set a multimedia library, click the add path button and type your path -> ex. /share/Qmultimedia . Click okay and then make sure to SAVE.
Next you will need to type a path for the tmp folder in the transcoding TAB, so click transcoding and overwrite /tmp with /root/.serviio/tmp ; Make sure you SAVE.
Also, sometime when you start the server you will notice in the Serviio web interface that it will say status STOPPED, give it a few moments to fully initiate.
The start/stop feature in the serviio web interface will not kill the serviio daemon will only make the server invisible. TO stop the serviio daemon use the NAS web interface.
Have a look on the serviio site to see if your player is supported, my popcornhour could only play music. So, again, didn't had the hardware to test this properly, please post your feedback.
