[myHD 0.9.4 R.C.4] Application server for Kodi, Plex, etc. on Ubuntu 1604/1804

[blopper]

Did you restart myHD ("myHD restart" command line) after adding your folder ??? because the isolation (namespace) require to
1 define folder(s) to share
2 restart myHD to inform myHD that this folder(s) is now accessible

The "magic" restart... This was the solution.
Plus the fact the added folder is quite hidden within the folder tree you get when browsing from KODI !

All is well now.
Thanks / Merci

Hi,

don't forgot to do an Ubuntu update to get the last Kodi18 version ...
to do this choice between the two methods :
1 : use "myHD apt_upgrade_package" command in a root/your_adm_password ssh console
or
2 : (especially if you don't do it before or from long time)
open a ssh console using root / your_password
use : myHD_root to enter as root IN Ubuntu
then : apt-get update && apt-get -y dist-upgrade

The second method will solve rare case when a basic kernel tool is added or updated BUT require an exchange (configure) with the console operator (ex. console-setup)
BUT it's very rare ... I have write a new apt_upgrade_package in next release to solve this

In case using method 1 you are stopped by an interactive request ... open another ssh console, use myHD_root, kill the update / upgrade pending and restart in the console the update / upgrade or the command proposed.

hi
before install myHD my Asustor need an X.org 10.14.7.R19

see attached file

[father.mande]

Hi,

Yes, what is your A.D.M. release and Xorg version ??

F.Y.I. it's the minimum Xorg version : 10.14.7.R19
for ex. actually I use v 10.14.7.R35

Philippe.
N.B. I have put minimum version based on the version in A.D.M. when I start myHD the first time in an Asustor NAS
... I have only ONE NAS for dev. and normal running ... I am NOT Asustor ... so I can't test version before the version I used
... if you want to test a previous version (I can't know if it works or not) just extract the apk, change the depends request in Json file ... and re create apk to test by yourself
... but the best (and easy way) is to update A.D.M. and Xorg (if linked) to the latest stable version.

Hi,

I am please to announce the availability of myHD 0.9.3

[Version]
0.9.3 R.C.3
... ADD support for Ubuntu 18.04 L.T.S.
... ... 18.04 is installed (be default) on a new fresh install
... ... if 16.04 is installed (after updating myHD) use the command : myHD switch_ubuntu_env 1804 (later you can switch between 16.04 and 18.04 changing value 1804 or 1604
... ... if Ubuntu 18.04 is not installed ... please wait ... the environment is downloaded, then installed next to 16.04 then myHD is restarted with new env.
... ... BEFORE you can use the pre-download script (here after) with 1804 in place of 1604 to win elapse time at install
... ALL applications can be used or reinstall ... each was regenerated for 18.04
... ... already include in Ubuntu at delivery ... require nothing if MH_xxx apkg is already installed : kodi18, Kodi17, Chrome, Netflix, Prime, etc.
... ... external : Kaku 2.0.2.1, PlexMediaPlayer 2.33.0 MUST be reinstalled (because a part of the binary was not provide by Ubuntu repository) ATTENTION to use the LAST version ONLY
... Please remember to do an upgrade of Ubuntu to get last libraries & applications

Ubuntu 18.04 L.T.S. add updated and secure new libraries, add performance (for ex. Video Acceleration (VA-API) is now version 2.1, etc.
... consider version 18.04 as the future, so 16.04 will be less supported (new applications) in the future

Download of myHD and applications (external) in first post

Hi,

... solve minor bugs & clean code
... ADD a tools to mount WHEN myHD is running temporary shared resources (/share/xxxx)
... ... Target is first for adding USB keys or disk plugged AFTER myHD is started (but any share can be used)
... ... This is done using SSHFS from myHD to A.D.M. SO YOU MUST have ssh and sftp configured and enable in A.D.M. part
... ... ... in Ubuntu 18.04 env. sshfs is already installed in 16.04 NOT, so you must install it
... ... ... do (after an myHD apt_upgrade_package do be at last update) : myHD_root /usr/bin/apt-get -y install sshfs

myHD list_temporary_mounted_folder ... list of temporary mounted folder
myHD mount_temporary_folder FOLDER ... mount temporary folder (/share/xxx)
myHD umount_temporary_folder FOLDER ... umount temporary folder (/share/xxx)

ATTENTION due to the fact I own only ONE NAS (for Asportal) ... I have tested this only with Ubuntu 18.04 ... but, normally, it's the same with 16.04

I am using linux and I run the search command within the all downloaded files but i don't see any apkg file. and when i try to manual install the file: myHD_0.9.4_x86-64.apk
I get always the following error:

Can you please help me ?

Thanks in advance

Yes you are right Philippe my architecture is 32 bit:

Linux AS-302T-Huso 3.4.26 #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Sep 3 03:34:15 CST 2019 i686 GNU/Linux

To be honest, the tutorial in the first page and all links are provided, little bit confusing me. Which app may I download now for my type of NAS server? The best question is it exist?
Afterwards can i achive to install Kodi, plex, netflix and youtube?

Thanks in advance for your help.
