Installation

  1. Wizd Media Server requires two dependences to be install first, before installing the main program, if they are not already installed you’ll have to install them.
  2. Ipkg install libdvdread
  3. Ipkg install libjpeg
  4. Ipkg install wizd
  5. Ok after the above are installed you need to edit the wizd.conf file located in /opt/etc directory type: cd /opt/etc


Editing wizd.conf

For this type of file I like to just copy it to the public folder on the Synology box and use a text editor like ultaedit to edit this file, because it has line numbers and the file is big. To copy to the public folder type: cp /opt/etc/wizd.conf /volume1/public Once there you can edit it in any editor you like.

Lines 41-48

Now you need to edit lines 41-48 this is where your video, pictures, and music are located on your Synology box. It should look something like this.

moviealias  Movies    /volume1/video/Movies
alias       TVShows   /volume1/video/TV Shows
musicalias  Music     /volume1/music
photoalias  Photos    /volume1/photo

Lines 58-61

On lines 58-61 is your server port setting the default is 8000, set this to whatever would like.

Lines 164-196

Lines 164-196 are your skin settings the default skin is simplicity, if you like, you can change the skin or make your own and put it here. The skins are located in /opt/share/wizd/skin

Line 319

Line 319 is server auto detect default is true

Line 322-323

Line 322-323 is media server name, add your own

Line 326-332

Line 326-332 is the server ip address settings default is 192.168.0.100


Finalizing

  1. That’s all you need to setup to get going right away the other settings you can play with as you go.
  2. After you get done editing the file just copy it back by typing: cp /volume1/public/wizd.conf /opt/etc
  3. To start wizd type: /opt/etc/init.d/S84wizd
