I have a different NAS unit (Maxtor Central Axis) which I have gotten this to work.. I installed python via optware. Here's what my config.ini looks like in vi

[config]^M
music_dir = /share/Public/Our_Music/publicmp3/^M
video_dir = /share/Public/Our_Movies/^M
server_ip = 192.168.0.31^M
roku_ip = 192.168.0.51^M
max_folders_before_split = 10^M
python_path = /opt/bin^M
theme = default^M
collapse_collections = False^M
server_port = 8001^M
photo_dir = /share/Public/Our_Photos/^M
^M
~

To launch rss_server, I executive the command -- /opt/bin/python2.6 /share/Public/media/rss_server.py

I noticed that your python path in the ini file is python_path = /ipkg/opt/bin/python2.6^M but you are launch rss_server with
/mnt/HD_a2/ipkg/opt/exec/roku_media_server/server # python2.6 ./rss_server.py... I am not a linux person or anything, so this might be a silly question, but why is the python directory different between the one in ini and the one in your launch command?? Could that cause the issue?

Springboard does not run (see below). My understanding of the DNS-323 install process is that the config.ini is prepared on your PC and then copied over to the DNS323 so springboard is not used for the config. Launch server button is not used either - a script on the DNS323 (linux) is executed.

Aditionally, I have been able to run python and load springboard from my PC and been able to connect to it from the ROKU. The DNS (a NAS) is where I want to serve the media files from.

Thanks for your interest in helping...my ideas are running dry.

Thanks - I updated the paths so they were consistent. Same "Segmentation fault" error.

Thinking maybe I have a permissions problem. Here is what my directory that holds rss_server.py looks like. Can you share your directory? ( type ls -l ). Thanks much!

Can you update to the latest version here and see if you still have the problem?

I placed the mymedia stuff in the "Public" folder area of the NAS, so everything should have full permissions...

To test this out, you could just do a chmod 999 or 777 or whatever and make it recurrsive and see what happen... I think I said that right..

Whileyou are in the media server directory have you tried executive --- /ipkg/opt/bin/python2.6 ./rss_server.py --- to make sure you are picking up the right instance...

@renojim
I re-downloaded the server directory to the DNS323 and still had the same error.

@buaboo
I have doublechecked the path by trying it fully qualified and unfortunately had the same result.
There are a lot of permission differences . I'll have to look them over and try a few alternatives.

Thanks!

Did you re-download the same version you already had, or did you download the version in the link I gave. Looking at your directory listing, it doesn't look like you have the latest version.

Good Luck.. Have you tried a simple python program or script to see if that works? i.e. hello world app... I don't know python so I can't help create it, but perhaps someone else can help with that if you think its appropriate..

@buaboo
I just tried it. So now I'm pretty sure that Python is functioning properly

/mnt/HD_a2/ipkg/opt/exec/roku_media_server/server # python2.6
Python 2.6.5 (r265:79063, Mar 21 2010, 01:25:01)
[GCC 3.3.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> print "hello world"
hello world

Can I see what your SET looks like? Mind below:

I downloaded via the link you sent. I think the directory listing was from before that. Here is an updated directory (and a time stamp).

Ok. Darn, I was really hoping it was a version problem. Hopefully you and buaboo can figure out what's different between your setup and his. I know there are others that have installed this on a NAS, so maybe someone else will chime in.
