[edit] Installation of MMS Version 1.1.0

This installation is for Debian based distributions, like Ubuntu. If you want to install MMS-1.1.0 onto another distribution, meet the library dependencies on your own.

[edit] bazaar NG

Install bazaar first. 

sudo apt-get install bzr

[edit] getting the sources

Get the tarball of MMS 1.1.0 here.

or get the nighly snapshot from here: http://mms.mymediasystem.net/mms110/nightly-snapshot/


You can also get the latest developers sources here. 

bzr get http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~team-mms/mms/1.1.0 mms-1.1.0

Note: The first download with bazaar can take a very long time. Downloading the nightly build is faster. Downloading the bzr-free version is even faster, but you can't perform a 'brz pull' in order to update to the latest version. Use this version always with care, it's bleeding edge, and may contain bugs. Please report them on our forum.

[edit] updating

Cd into your mms directory and perform a 

bzr pull

[edit] libs and packages

[edit] Known issues / History

  • If you have performance issues entering your media content, because you've got tons of it and/or it resides on a slow media, try it without inotify 
./configure --disable-inotify
  • switch --enable-ffmpeg-thumb is new, and speeds up movie thumbnail generation by factors.
  • --enable-clock needs --enable-notify-area.
  • --enable-vbox ( experimental )
  • Version and used switches 
mms --version

tells you now the switches you're using + the revision number
