# 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
|
|
- LMS API available in Protocol Buffers (see src/lms-api/proto/messages.proto)
|
|
|
|
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 libboost-log-dev libavcodec-dev libwtdbosqlite-dev libwthttp-dev libwtdbo-dev libwt-dev libmagick++-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libavutil
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you want to enable the LMS API, you need these additional packages:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ apt-get install libprotobuf-dev libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Warning: your distrib may provide an outdated wt library. Using the latest Wt (>= 3.3.3) is highly recommended (see http://www.webtoolkit.eu/wt)
|
|
|
|
## Build
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ autoreconf -vfi
|
|
$ mkdir build
|
|
$ cd build
|
|
$ ../configure
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
configure will complain if a mandatory library is missing.
|
|
|
|
The configure script allows you to disable the LMS API support, see 'configure --help' for more information.
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ make
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Setting up SSL materials
|
|
This is required by the SSL server and the web server.
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Running
|
|
|
|
In the build directory:
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ ./src/lms lms.conf
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Create the lms.conf file using the etc/lms.sample.conf
|
|
- "ui.resources.approot" has to refer to the ui/approot/ directory.
|
|
- "ui.resources.docroot" has to refer to the ui/docroot/ directory
|
|
You must also link Wt's docroot (usually located in /usr/share/Wt) into that directory. Example:
|
|
```sh
|
|
ln -s /var/lms/docroot/resources /usr/share/Wt/resources
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Depending on your SSL parameters, you may be asked for the PEM passphrase to unlock the private key.
