Asset UPnP is now available on the Raspberry pi, this cheap $25 computer is ideal to run a lightweight UPnP server that is totally silent, pair with a USB flash disk
We have tested against Raspbian, on the Model B pi.
Installation details
Code:
Log-in to the pi (login: pi password: raspberry)
Create a folder for Asset:
cd /usr/bin
sudo mkdir asset
sudo chmod 777 asset
cd asset
Transfer the downloaded Asset from the registration link in your receipt email to the pi to the /usr/bin/asset folder.
extract it:
tar -zxvf *.gz
rm *.gz
Run Asset:
cd /usr/bin/asset/Asset-Rx.x-Linux-ARM32-registered/bin (note replace x.x with version number)
./AssetUPnP
Once running it will show Presentation URL type this into a web browser on any computer on the same network, example:
http://192.168.1.13:45537
Then click 'configure' to specify the options
Setting Asset to start automatically
Code:
crontab -e
press the down arrow until the cursor is right at the bottom (on a blank line, press enter if not on a blank line)
type:
@reboot /usr/bin/asset/Asset-Rx.x-Linux-ARM32-registered/bin/AssetUPnP
(note replace x.x with version number)
Press keys CTRL + X choose Y to save, press enter
restart system:
sudo reboot
The web log-in will be the same as when run manually, if at a later date you cannot find this address (or port), log into the pi and type:
ifconfig
this will show on the inet addr for eth0, take the shown ip address and:
http://x.x.x.x:45537
Where x.x.x.x is the address shown
To find the port asset is using:
sudo netstat -pln
look for the lines with AssetUPnP on the end, it should be shown as 0.0.0.0.0:45537 (for configuration) (as well as 0.0.0.0.0:26125 which is used by UPnP devices and 0.0.0.0.0:1900 for broadcast)
Mounting a USB Flash disk
Code:
Look for the drive:
sudo fdisk -l
It will most likely be called sda1
Make a folder for this drive:
sudo mkdir /media/usbflash
and mount:
sudo mount -t vfat -o rw /dev/sda1 /media/usbflash/
Check files can be read:
ls -l /media/usbflash/
Then on Asset configuration page set the path as /media/usbflash/
To make so this flash disc is automatically added on reboot:
sudo nano /etc/fstab
and add the line:
/dev/sda1 /media/usbflash vfat defaults 0 0
(to save CTRL + X, Y to save)
