# LMS - Lightweight Media Server

LMS is a self-hosted media streaming software, released under the GPLv3 license.
It allows you to access your music and your videos using an https web interface.

## Features
 - Winamp-like interface, suited for large databases
 - Audio/Video transcode for maximum interoperability and low bandwith requirements
 - User management

Please note LMS is still under development and will gain more features in the future.

LMS is written entirely in C++. Therefore, it is suitable to run on embedded devices, where space and/or memory are limited.
Please note some media files may require significant CPU usage to be transcoded.

## Dependencies
### Debian or Ubuntu packages

```sh
$ apt-get install g++ autoconf automake libboost-dev libboost-locale-dev libboost-iostreams-dev libavcodec-dev libwtdbosqlite-dev libwthttp-dev libwtdbo-dev libwt-dev libmagick++-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libav-tools
```

## Build

```sh
$ autoreconf -vfi
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ ../configure --prefix=/usr
```
configure will complain if a mandatory library is missing.

```sh
$ make -j 4
```

## Install

```sh
$ make install
```
This command requires root privileges

## Running

```sh
$ /usr/bin/lms --docroot='/usr/share/lms/docroot/;/resources,/css,/images' --approot=/usr/share/lms/approot --http-address 0.0.0.0 --http-port 5081
```
It is highly recommended to run LMS as a non root user.
The exectuable needs write accesses to the /var/lms/ directory.

## Setting up SSL materials (optional)
Here is just a self signed certificate example, you could do use a CA if you want.

Generate a dh file:
```sh
$ openssl dhparam -out dh2048.pem 2048
```
Generate a self signed certificate:
```sh
$ openssl req -x509 -out cert.pem -keyout privkey.pem -newkey rsa:4096
```
Run:
```sh
$ /usr/bin/lms --docroot='/usr/share/lms/docroot/;/resources,/css,/images' --approot=/usr/share/lms/approot --https-address 0.0.0.0 --https-port 5081 --ssl-certificate cert.pem --ssl-private-key privkey.pem --ssl-tmp-dh dh2048.pem
```
Depending on your SSL parameters, you may be asked for the PEM passphrase to unlock the private key.
