[GUIDE] Filebot + MediaInfo + Raspberry Pi

[Lukeid]

:: THIS GUIDE IS OUTDATED ::

Hello,

I have spent a lot of time trying to get Filebot with mediainfo working on my Raspberry Pi.
I've read some post but none of them provided a full solution. So this post is to help others, because I finally got it working.

These are the main steps you will need to do:
+ Install JAVA 8
+ Install Filebot v3.8
+ Configure Filebot for Raspberry Pi
+ Install JNA 4.0.0
+ Configure JNA links
+ Install MediaInfo
+ Configure MediaInfo links
+ Test it works


And the detailed step by step:

+ Install JAVA 8 (get latest JAVA ARMv6 from https://jdk8.java.net/download.html)

Hope this helps.

Edited: Removed "-Xms400M" option from filebot.sh

[rednoah]

Good work!

I'd only comment on the JVM memory settings:

Code: Select all

-Xms400M

You're making the JVM hog 400M right on initialization. I recommend not setting -Xms and let the JVM scale up memory as needed. It'll rarely ever need more than 70-80M anyway.

[beck2929]

Some minor typographic mistakes:
+ Install Filebot v3.8 section
a) if you use that wget command you get a file named "download" instead of "filebot_3.8_arm.ipk"
b)

Code: Select all

$ mv filebot_3.8_arm.ipk /tmp/filebot

has to be changed in

Code: Select all

$ mv filebot_3.8_arm.ipk /tmp/filebot/filebot_3.8_arm.ipk

upon creation of the filebot folder
c)

Code: Select all

$ ar -x filebot_3.8_arm.ipk

and

Code: Select all

$ tar zxvf data.tar.gz

commands need sudo
+ Configure JNA links section
a) change

Code: Select all

$ java -jar jna-jar

in

Code: Select all

$ java -jar jna.jar

Hi guys,

I used this guide to install Filebot on my Raspberry Pi. The whole installation went quite well. The only caveat that I found was that filebot was installed on step 1, not on /opt/usr/share but rather on /opt/share -- which I then correctly copied into /usr/share.

The problem is that even after directly copy/pasting everything and installing and configuring MediaLink, I am getting a MediaLink error. Below is what I get when I execute sysinfo.

I don't quite understand what it means that it cannot find the native library in the resource path. (and why is it looking at a .Jar file for the library)? The libraries it is referencing are present in /usr/share/filebot

In fact, my /usr/share/filebot directory has the following files, all with full accessibility permissions (777)

Code: Select all

Bin  data  FileBot.jar  fpcalc  lib7-Zip-JBinding.so  libmediainfo.so  libzen.so

Any ideas?

[rednoah]

System error messages about native libraries are generally misleading. If it says "can't find" it may mean "can't find one that can be loaded".

Check the filebot.sh script and check the jna.library.path property and make sure it points to the folder where the libraries are. If it doesn't work then it's because the libraries simply are not compatible with your platform. There's a good chances the binaries are only compatible with armv7hf and won't work on armv6.

[chuckbell3]

To correct this issue I installed the mediainfo-dev...

MediaInfo: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Unable to load library 'mediainfo': Native library (linux-arm/libmediainfo.so) not found in resource path ([file:/usr/share/filebot/FileBot.jar])

I also didn't have to link the files.
Hope that helps

[p4tch3r]

What do you mean with "installed the mediainfo-dev"? Can you explain that. I have the same problem.
Thanks a lot....

I had the same problem with MediaInfo.

This guide doesn't show how to comiple 7z jbindings nor fpcalc for ARM6 arch. No one has figured those out yet ...

[fbot25]

Hey so I was following along with this guide using raspbmc on my rpi (got filebot 4.5.6 ipk instead of 3.8) and all was going well until when I tried the final step to see if it all worked I got this

Code: Select all

same thing happened when I tried the command from home directory. Anything in here jump out and say what the problem is and any way I can fix it? I'm a bit out of my depths at this point.

[rednoah]

You're not using Java 8. Please use Java 8. See FAQ.

[damagu]

How up to date is this guide? Would it apply to a rpi2 with OSMC? If not, can someone give me any idea of what needs to change from this guide to make it applicable to rpi2+OSMC

[cramejo]

I just installed it and it works for me with the latest OSMC version (RC)

This is how it works:

Download and install Java

http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java ... flt.tar.gz

unpack to /opt/

Code: Select all

sudo tar zxvf jdk-8-linux-arm-vfp-hflt.tar.gz -C /opt

Set update-alternatives for java and javac:

Code: Select all

sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javac javac /opt/jdk1.8.0_33/bin/javac 1

Code: Select all

sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /opt/jdk1.8.0_33/bin/java 1

select the 1.8 version when/if prompted:

Code: Select all

sudo update-alternatives --config javac

Code: Select all

sudo update-alternatives --config java

If everything worked, you should have 1.8 java now:

Code: Select all

java -version

Download and install filebot

download the latest arm version of filebot:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/filebot ... k/download

Use 7zip or something similar to unpack it. Unpack the .tar inside. Then copy the filebot folder inside the other folders to your pi.
On your pi, go to the folder you copied the filebot folder to. Then move the filebot folder to /user/share/filebot

Code: Select all

sudo mv ./filebot /user/share/

edit the filebot.sh file:

Code: Select all

sudo nano /usr/share/filebot/bin/filebot.sh

This might not be the optimal script, but it works for me. Change the script to the following:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
java -Dunixfs=false -DuseExtendedFileAttributes=false -Dsun.net.client.defaultConnectTimeout=10000 -Dsun.net.client.defaultReadTimeout=60000 -Dapplication.deployment=ipkg -Dapplication.analytics=true -Duser.home=/usr/share/filebot/data -Dapplication.dir=/usr/share/filebot/data -Djava.io.tmpdir=/usr/share/filebot/data/temp -Djna.library.path=/usr/share/filebot -Djava.library.path=/usr/share/filebot -jar -Xms400M -Xmx400M /usr/share/filebot/FileBot.jar "$@"

Link the filebot script to your bin folder

Code: Select all

sudo ln -s /usr/share/filebot/bin/filebot.sh /usr/bin/filebot

Install mediainfo

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install mediainfo

Go to the filebot folder and move not working filebot libraries:

Code: Select all

cd /usr/share/filebot

Code: Select all

mv libzen.so libzen.soold

Code: Select all

mv libmediainfo.so libmediainfo.soold

Link the working ones:

Code: Select all

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libmediainfo.so.0 libmediainfo.so

Code: Select all

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libzen.so.0 libmediainfo.so

check if it works:

Code: Select all

sudo filebot -script "fn:sysinfo"

This is my output:

FileBot 4.5.6 (r2818)

Done ?(?????)?

There have been many disputes about the filebot.sh file on the raspberry pi. I am using the RPi2 and I have just used my old script.
I hope this works for you. I stole this from many different quides and made my own modifications. While I would like to credit the ops, I don't remember who they were.

[damagu]

Thank you very much for taking the time to post the instructions above. I got it working too but there were problems which I struggled with along the way.

First (I think) there are a few typo errors in your instructions:

1) Because you linked to http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java ... flt.tar.gz, shouldn't this:

Code: Select all

sudo tar zxvf jdk-8-linux-arm-vfp-hflt.tar.gz -C /opt

be this:

Code: Select all

sudo tar zxvf jdk-8u33-linux-arm-vfp-hflt.tar.gz -C /opt

2) Also there's an error here:

Code: Select all

sudo mv ./filebot /user/share/

it should be this:

Code: Select all

sudo mv ./filebot /usr/share/

3) And this didn't work:

Code: Select all

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libzen.so.0 libmediainfo.so

I'm pretty sure it's meant to say:

Code: Select all

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libzen.so.0 libzen.so

Apart from these changes, I also struggled with:

• downloading java and filebot from CLI. Because there were no commands for this in your instructions I had to figure it out myself and it took a while because, while I knew about wget already, I didn't realise I needed the "--no-check-certificate" bit.
• unpacking the ipk file. I had to download and install p7zip and work out how to use it before I could move on.
• when I got to your last step "sudo filebot -script "fn:sysinfo"", I got command not found error because I also needed to change permissions on filebot.sh to make it executable.

To you, these things might be really obvious. For me, having only cursory knowledge of the command line and having not used it for years, I only just managed to piece it all together. However, other people might not have even my basic level of knowledge and might not get it working without more info.

These are not complaints though; just feedback in the interest of improving and completing the instructions.

Thanks again
