Quick start info?

Hi,
Maybe the best would be to Write report on GitHub MMS page as noted at viewtopic.php?t=90809

MMS Will become handy very soon after MAC version of MM gets out.

I added the required directories to make the path valid and tried again. This time I am able to connect to MMS from my laptop and am greeted with a login. After changing the location for the music I am now able to see my collection. I did notice that some files will play and others throw an exception. A few have an icon representing the album art but most don't. I don't know if the art always means it will throw an exception but it seems most/all I tried do. I can submit a ticket if it would help.

Hi,
Please make sure that "/var/services/homes/Ben_Admin/MediaMonkeyServer/" folder exist and That MMS have enough privileges to access it.

by **bkenobi69** » Mon Nov 06, 2023 9:25 pm

I tested MMS on my Windows 10 laptop a couple months back. At that time, I was able to run the server, log in, and access the files on a different system. I finally got some time to install based on the instructions for my Synology DiskStation. On extraction, when I run the server via "./mms" I get errors.

Code: Select all

The setup guide didn't say I needed to put the mm.db in any location nor create special paths. I can do that as needed obviously, but I'm not sure if there are other prereq's I'm missing that are causing the error.

It will, but with slower pace. Current plan is to first release multi platform MM5, starting with MAC OS. Then we will have real reason to get things in sync with MMS.

Hi,
Yes, something like that, the plan is that MMS serve as main headless library, allowing you to play media, sync and have multiple PCs connect to it with own local libraries eg. multi platform MM manager access simultaneously MMS and have things in sync.

by **bkenobi69** » Wed Sep 06, 2023 9:05 am

Understood. Is the goal that it would eventually have features like wifi sync to MMA? The server would just need network access (which it obviously would have) and the MMA device would need to connect to that network via wifi (which would be standard). I can use other methods now. Just wondering if that's in the plans at some point?

by **Peke** » Tue Sep 05, 2023 5:59 pm

Hi,
Note that MMS is open source and anyone can contribute it on GitHub which means we are there to steer it, but like Drakinite not priority ATM.

I personally would like it to be as all my media is already on QNAP and others in team have Synology devices too.

by **drakinite** » Tue Sep 05, 2023 5:55 pm

Definitely a good idea to test first before buying hardware for it. I wouldn't really recommend buying hardware dedicated to MediaMonkeyServer just yet, since it's still quite unstable and we (dev team) are putting most of our focus on MMW. (Also, we don't have a timeline yet for when MMS will get more attention).

Try it out on your main PC first, to check out its behavior and see if it works for you!

by **bkenobi69** » Mon Sep 04, 2023 1:53 pm

Ok great!sounds like it might be good to test capabilities before investing in hardware. Is there a list of what it can do, what's planed, what's requested? Ill check out that link to see if any of those are answered.

For the MediaMonkey Server executable that's released on the alpha testing thread (viewtopic.php?p=493497#p493497), just download and extract it, then just run the "mms" executable. It shouldn't matter which distribution of linux you're running since I think all its dependencies are included.

example:

Code: Select all

mkdir -p mediamonkeyserver # Create folder to put the MMS executable in
cd mediamonkeyserver # move to the folder
wget https://www.mediamonkey.com/beta/mms/MMS-linux64-0.4.3.tar.gz # download the linux release
tar -xvf MMS-linux64-0.4.3.tar.gz # extract into the current folder
./mms # run the executable

I ran my last RAID on windows but there are many compact units that run a HW RAID with linux kernels. The one I'm looking at has the system exposed so it would be possible to install things including docker on it. The main issue is i dont see any links to a guide or even info on the capabilities or steps of any kind to get MM Linux going. I can do the reading but cant find any docs. Leaning against this approach mainly because i cant find any info of any kind.

It's pretty open-ended in terms of what OS to install, but I understand that can be quite challenging. I'm sure there are more user-friendly solutions out there, but what I've personally done is dove straight into a self-managed Ubuntu Server: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2m52F0S2w8

I haven't checked out any of the software on this list, but maybe one of them would work for you: https://www.techradar.com/best/best-nas ... er-distros - as long as the software you pick supports SSH (I clicked on the first one for example, openmediavault, and their main webpage says it supports SSH).

If you do go for one of those user-friendly options, I'd look first to see how extensive the documentation and support is. (Again I only looked at openmediavault so far, but that one also seems to have a lot of documentation on their docs site)

If you still prefer Windows, though, MMS currently has compiled builds being released for Windows, so you could probably still just use that.

Regarding your questions about RAID: unfortunately I personally have zero experience with RAID, so I wouldn't be able to help you pick a solution there, but you seem to know enough about RAID to get around!

I had some tgings come up so this slipped in priority. Im still looking to get this server but im not sure where the info on how to compile/install linux is located. I originally thought the only option would be wine+MMW but if there's a cleaner way I'd rather do that. That said, i do need to be able to sync my phone to the MM database and update audio files as needed. Not sure if all options support that.
