-Running Rygel as a system service with Ubuntu
-=============================================
-
-This guide has been tested with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
-
-Dependencies
-~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Install Rygel and most of the GStreamer plug-ins:
-
- sudo apt-get install rygel gstreamer0.10-plugins-good \
- gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly \
- gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg
-
-You might want to skip gstreamer0.10-plugins-multiverse if you're using rygel
-< 0.15.1, otherwise you'll run into troubles with transcoding.
-
-Configuration
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-After that, you might want to create a dedicated user for the server:
- sudo adduser --home /home/rygel --disabled-password --disabled-login \
- --gecos 'Rygel media server' rygel
-
-Then switch to that user, create ~/.config and copy /etc/rygel.conf there.
-Modify it to fit your needs by disabling plugins and transcoders you don't need,
-setting the device name and paths.
-
-Then copy upstart/rygel.conf to /etc/init and call "sudo start rygel" to start
-the service. It should get started at every boot from now on.
-
-Generating Thumbnails
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Rygel reuses thumbnails that were generated by external software such as
-nautilus. However, it can also request creation of thumbnails by itself.
-
-To enable this feature, you have to install tumbler:
-
- sudo apt-get install tumbler
-
-Since tumbler is a D-Bus service, rygel has to have access to a D-Bus session
-bus. To accomplish this you need to copy the included D-Bus wrapper script
-"wrap-dbus" somewhere and modify the upstart script to call a wrapped rygel:
-
- exec /usr/local/bin/wrap-dbus rygel
-
-wrap-dbus makes sure that a session bus is running and will re-use an existing
-bus it spawned itself.
-
-After (re-) starting rygel, it should start requesting thumbnail generation
-for files that don't have thumbnails. If you don't see them in your client
-right away, you might have to refresh the view.
-
-Note: For Rygel versions below 0.15.1, you have to create ~/.thumbnails/normal
-as well, otherwise Rygel thinks there are no thumbnails available as it is not
-aware that tumbler will generate this directory.
