FUPPES 0.677 AmigaOS port 0.1 (beta). (28.12.2020)

Free UPnP Entertainment Service by Ulrich Voelkel
AmigaOS port by Krzysztof 'SOVA' Sowinski

WARNING!
Software is provided "AS IS". Developer of this software and developer of the
port
for AmigaOS don't take responsibility for any demage made by this piece of
software
including but not limited to data loss.

REQUIREMENTS
System AmigaOS 4.1 Update 6
Shared Object versions of libpcre and libxml2
Right configured local network including connected UPnP/DLNA devices.
Defined host name in Internet Prefs (Real Amiga IP address, name and alias
should be different than localhost.)

After unpacking the archive, directory with program can be copied in any place.
FUPPES can be run from shell or by double click on the Icon. FUPPES_LAUNCHER is 
a small script modifying default TCP/IP stack settings and priority of fuppes.
After 1st run, FUPPES creates fuppes.db file.

When FUPPES will be executed from CLI all available options are displayed with
-h option.

Program welcomes us with small header with version and connection status.
FUPPES starts in interactive mode. After entering 'h' in console and pressing
enter small help will be displayed with available options.

Webinterface is available at http://<hostip>:<hostport> and is visible during
FUPPES loading and after pressing 'i' in CLI. Webinterface is mostly for
information use, configuring due webinterface is buggy.

The best way of configuring server is adding directories to scan in fuppes.cfg.
Config file is self-explanatory xml file.

Most important is setup of paths to multimedia files (Music, Video, Pictures)
This paths must be in Amiga format e.g. "DH0:Multimedia/Music". Program does not
allow to add only name of the disk as path. It is needed to add path with
minimum
one directory after drive name.

WARNING!
Program does recognize properly only files on partitions SFS0, FFS, FAT32, RAM.
Best working on SFS partition.

After adding path to the files, we need build database by pressing 'r' in CLI
and
press enter. (If the path is set before database creation, there is no need to
rebuild
database). All changes in files adding/deleting or path modification require to
database
rebuild or update.

Some of the devices needs reconfiguration of virtual folders after the database
is built.
press 'v' and enter to rebuild container layout.

When all going right, new server will be visible in Media Renderer e.g. TV set
with DLNA or AllShare, smartphone or computer with suitable software e.g.
XBMC/Kodi,
WMP. Name of the media server: FUPPES 0.677.1 (hostname).

0.677.1 first international beta (28.12.2020)
- experimental not fully tested
- shared library implementation
- plugins as *.so libs
- subtitle support with *.srt files
- taglib support
- libavformat support

This piece of software is based on revision r677 of Linux FUPPES, later versions
are harder
to port due to additional libraries needed and some major changes in lagacy
code. However
it need to be treated as experimental port for AmigaOS and no bug proof, also
some hack
implemented to run on AmigaOS.

Due to lack of time and decreased needs (streaming platforms) the port is
released with
no maintenance and no new versions expected. But when feedback from community
will be
big some patches is possible and even cooperation of developing the port.
