Download

You can download this package here.

If you want to save it directly on your SME Server, you can give these commands at the prompt:

wget http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/sgomez/contribs/kplaylist/smeserver-kplaylist-1.7.426-1.noarch.rpm

Install

To install kPlaylist, issue the following command:

yum localinstall smeserver-kplaylist-1.7.426-1.noarch.rpm

You can ignore the yum-comments signal event post-upgrade and signal-event reboot.

Special commands

To view kPlaylist's configuration, you can type the following at the prompt:

config show kplaylist

You can change a few parameters:

   DB parameter   |    Options   | Default | Explanation
# HTTPS           | on/off       | off     | Enable/Disable forced https mode of web interfaces
# PublicAccess    | local/global | local   | Accessibility of web interfaces
# MaxUpload       | xM           | 16M     | Max uploadable file size
# URL             | new alias    |         | Optionnal alias for kPlaylist

After any change to kPlaylist configuration, you should apply modifications by typing the following at the prompt:

expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
/etc/rc7.d/S86httpd-e-smith sigusr1

Update

The RPM installs the latest stable version (1.7.426). If you want to try the development release (1.7.464), simply upload the new file in /opt/kplaylist/html/.

Then edit this file and change MySQL password at line #71

'pass' => 'kplaylist', # MySql password

You can retrieve your existing MySQL password with the following command:

config getprop kplaylist DbPassword

Then rename the file into index.php and apply security:

mv -f /opt/kplaylist/hmtl/kplaylist.1.7.464.php /opt/kplaylist/hmtl/index.php
chown root:www /opt/kplaylist/hmtl/index.php
chmod 660      /opt/kplaylist/hmtl/index.php

Then you need to update the database, this extra step will be done at your first login.

Future RPM versions will of course be able to update an existing installation. A new RPM version will be released each time a stable version comes out.

Uninstall

To uninstall kPlaylist, just hit the following command:

yum remove smeserver-kplaylist

You can ignore the yum-comments signal event post-upgrade and signal-event reboot.

To completly remove kPlaylist (installation files ; MySQL user+database) you will need the following command:

sh /root/KPlaylist-Full-Uninstall.sh

	Warning:
	Default MP3 folder will be deleted by this script! Move your files before launching this script!

kPlaylist Usage

Web Access

kPlaylist web interface is LAN ONLY by default (without HTTPS)

You can access the web interface at http://yourserver/kplaylist

login : admin
pass  : admin

Please change admin password first!

Multiple Download

If you want to allow multiple download, edit /opt/kplaylist/html/index.php and modify the following value to true:

$cfg['archivemode'] = true;

Now you will have more download options!

Upload

Registered users can upload files (16M max by default). These files will be stored in /opt/kplaylist/files

This folder is also the default MP3 folder!

Samba Access

For faster local downloading/uploading you can use Samba to access /opt/kplaylist/files.

Simply browse your SME server shares and you will see a folder named kplaylist.

Existing SME accounts will be able to browse this new shared folder after the RPM install.

Adding more sources folders

kPlaylist Supports multiple music sources (drives, directories, nmb, smbfs, nfs, etc).

Option FollowSymLinks is also available which means that you can use symbolic links inside /opt/kplaylist/files.

Just remember that kPlaylist is restricted to /opt/kplaylist by default, you should override the existing template with a custom-template to allow access to the needed folder.

Reminder: Correct procedure to create a custom-template
# Create the folder if not exist
mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

# Copy original template
cp /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/98kplaylist /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/

# Edit /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/98kplaylist
# Replace line #34 with your needed settings
php_admin_value open_basedir /opt/kplaylist:/tmp:/usr/share/pear:/home/e-smith/files/ibays/mp3_ibay/files   (just an example)

# Apply your changes
expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
/etc/rc7.d/S86httpd-e-smith sigusr1

Now go to kPlaylist web interface and login with the admin account. Clic on Admin control Settings. Then clic on Filehandling and manually add your new path to the list (or create a symbolic link).

mp3mail

kPlaylist can send mail. If you want to use this feature, you need to tweak MySQL max_allowed_packet (else you will see an error page when trying to send mails).

Create the file /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/my.cnf/011max-allowed-packet if it doesn't exist and paste the following code in it:

max_allowed_packet=32M   (you may need to higher this value)

Then apply new modifications:

expand-template /etc/my.cnf
service mysqld restart
expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
/etc/rc7.d/S86httpd-e-smith sigusr1
