kPlaylist RPM
Download
You can download this package here.
If you want to save it directly on your SME Server, you can give these commands at the prompt:
wget http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/sgomez/contribs/kplaylist/smeserver-kplaylist-1.7.426-1.noarch.rpm
Install
To install kPlaylist, issue the following command:
yum localinstall smeserver-kplaylist-1.7.426-1.noarch.rpm
You can ignore the yum-comments signal event post-upgrade and signal-event reboot.
Special commands
To view kPlaylist's configuration, you can type the following at the prompt:
config show kplaylist
You can change a few parameters:
DB parameter | Options | Default | Explanation # HTTPS | on/off | off | Enable/Disable forced https mode of web interfaces # PublicAccess | local/global | local | Accessibility of web interfaces # MaxUpload | xM | 16M | Max uploadable file size # URL | new alias | | Optionnal alias for kPlaylist
After any change to kPlaylist configuration, you should apply modifications by typing the following at the prompt:
expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf /etc/rc7.d/S86httpd-e-smith sigusr1
Update
The RPM installs the latest stable version (1.7.426). If you want to try the development release (1.7.464), simply upload the new file in /opt/kplaylist/html/.
Then edit this file and change MySQL password at line #71
'pass' => 'kplaylist', # MySql password
You can retrieve your existing MySQL password with the following command:
config getprop kplaylist DbPassword
Then rename the file into index.php and apply security:
mv -f /opt/kplaylist/hmtl/kplaylist.1.7.464.php /opt/kplaylist/hmtl/index.php chown root:www /opt/kplaylist/hmtl/index.php chmod 660 /opt/kplaylist/hmtl/index.php
Then you need to update the database, this extra step will be done at your first login.
Future RPM versions will of course be able to update an existing installation. A new RPM version will be released each time a stable version comes out.
Uninstall
To uninstall kPlaylist, just hit the following command:
yum remove smeserver-kplaylist
You can ignore the yum-comments signal event post-upgrade and signal-event reboot.
To completly remove kPlaylist (installation files ; MySQL user+database) you will need the following command:
sh /root/KPlaylist-Full-Uninstall.sh
kPlaylist Usage
Web Access
kPlaylist web interface is LAN ONLY by default (without HTTPS)
You can access the web interface at http://yourserver/kplaylist
login : admin pass : admin
Please change admin password first!
Getting started
kPlaylist's concept is pretty easy to understand:
1) Upload your music in /opt/kplaylist/files(see the 3 following sections for more details) 2) Update your database using Administration console Update 3) Enjoy!
Upload
Registered users can upload files. These files will be stored in /opt/kplaylist/files by default.
The default maximum uploadable file size is 16M (could be enough for most needs). You can modify this default value with following commands:
config setprop kplaylist MaxUpload xxM expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf /etc/rc7.d/S86httpd-e-smith sigusr1
where xx is your needed size (don't forget the M!)
Samba Access
For faster local downloading/uploading you can use Samba to access /opt/kplaylist/files.
Simply browse your SME server shares and you will see a folder named kplaylist.
Existing SME accounts will be able to browse this new shared folder after the RPM install.
Adding more sources folders
kPlaylist Supports multiple music sources (drives, directories, nmb, smbfs, nfs, etc).
Option FollowSymLinks is also available which means that you can use symbolic links inside /opt/kplaylist/files.
Just remember that kPlaylist is restricted to /opt/kplaylist by default, you should override the existing template with a custom-template to allow access to the needed folder.
Reminder: Correct procedure to create a custom-template # Create the folder if not exist mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf # Copy original template cp /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/98kplaylist /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/ # Edit /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/98kplaylist # Replace line #34 with your needed settings php_admin_value open_basedir /opt/kplaylist:/tmp:/usr/share/pear:/home/e-smith/files/ibays/mp3_ibay/files (just an example) # Apply your changes expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf /etc/rc7.d/S86httpd-e-smith sigusr1
Now go to kPlaylist web interface and login with the admin account. Clic on Admin control Settings. Then clic on Filehandling and manually add your new path to the list (or create a symbolic link).
Multiple Download
If you want to allow multiple download, edit /opt/kplaylist/html/index.php and modify the following value to true:
$cfg['archivemode'] = true;
Now you will have more download options!
mp3mail
kPlaylist can send mail. If you want to use this feature, you need to tweak MySQL max_allowed_packet (else you will see an error page when trying to send mails).
Create the file /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/my.cnf/011max-allowed-packet if it doesn't exist and paste the following code in it:
max_allowed_packet=32M (you may need to higher this value)
Then apply new modifications:
expand-template /etc/my.cnf service mysqld restart expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf /etc/rc7.d/S86httpd-e-smith sigusr1
ID3v2 support
getid3 v1.7.x is the default recommended tag reader for kPlaylist. If you want to add this feature to your kPlaylist, just follow this quick howto.
First, Check the latest version here.
wget http://surfnet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/getid3/getid3-1.7.7.zip unzip getid3-1.7.7.zip -d /opt/kplaylist/ rm -f getid3-1.7.7.zip
Now edit /opt/kplaylist/html/index.php and modify following lines:
- Line #95, enable getid3
$cfg['enablegetid3'] = 1;
- Line #98, provide path to getid3.php
$cfg['getid3include'] = '/opt/kplaylist/getid3/getid3/getid3.php';
Save the file and check if it's working: log in as a admin to kPlaylist, click on Settings and then on 'Filehandling'. If 'Write id3v2 with stream' is not disabled, getid3 should be working. You should also see the version number in the right.
