Anyone installed this on a Synology NAS?

[tmiland]

I did try different PIL's, but none of them worked...

You are using readyNas? I don't have readyNas so can't really test it.

Yes i am, but running Debian Squeeze in a chroot, so it's like a normal debian install. :-)

I have added the latest git version today, and i still get no images or thumbs...



XBMC tab:



Image opened in a new tab:



Address of the image is:

Code:

http://192.168.2.5:8014/xbmc/GetThumb?w=100&h=150&thumb=image%3A%2F%2Fnfs%253a%252f%252f192.168.2.5%252fc%252fmedia%252fFilmer%252fA.Good.Day.To.Die.Hard.2013.1080p.EXTENDED.Bluray.X264-BARC0DE%252fA.Good.Day.To.Die.Hard.2013.1080p.EXTENDED.Bluray.X264-BARC0DE.tbn%2F

Any help is much appreciated!

I have the thumb issue too on an ubuntu server x64 box, any pointers (if anyone knows any) would be fantastic, if not thanks anyway, its a minor issue for me.

About the missing thumbnails: is it because my XMBC machine is on a different machine?

Great job with the website styxit. Sorry i never got back to you. RL stuff.

@tmiland

I have the same problem with my install now. Seemed to be a problem with the PIL package.
Try renaming the PIL folder in /libs/ to PIL-old.
Make sure you have the python-imaging package installed (sudo apt-get install python-imaging).

If it still isnt working you can try the version from my repo.

I submitted a pull request to styxit, but I havent tested it on anything other than my own system.

Thanks for the update, but i am still having the same issue, are there any special permissions that needs to be set?(chmod)

I still get "500 Internal Server Error" on the images...

[mbw2001]

Are you getting the error with the proxy file from my repo?

I only did a pull request. Styxit's repo wont change untill he approves it.

You can try overwriting the htpc/proxy.py with the version in my repo.

If this: https://github.com/mbw2001/HTPC-Manager/...c/proxy.py is your repo, then yes.

[mbw2001]

Oh i forgot. You need to delete the /userdata/images/ folder aswell.

Oh i forgot. You need to delete the /userdata/images/ folder aswell.

I have tried that one too... Really weird!

I merged the commit from mbw2001 into the master. Keep in mind, this will not simply fix the images for everyone.

I am really cracking my head over this because images are what makes htpcManager look good. But it relies strongly on PIL and because PIL is difficult to install on various systems, i am considering using/creating an external image resize api service (api) and store the response in the userdata dir. This would resize images for every platform without a problem, but requires an internet connection from the device running htpc manager. The downside of this all is that htpc Manager would no longer be a stand-alone application, because it uses an api.

I can not find a decent image resize api wich met my requirements, so creating one myself might be the best option.

Things to consider:
- users depend on 3rd party (image resize service)
- Requires internet connection
- User upload speed
- Bandwidth usage

Is there anyone who thinks this is a good or bad idea, and why? Or any other solutions?


A (temporarily) fix could also be; serving the un-scaled image if PIL can not be found.

Or maybe combine these two options:
- use Pil if available
- no PIL? Use external api to resize
- No PIL and no internet connection? use fullsize image. You are probably running on a local environmet so serving big images is probably not an issue.

[mbw2001]

Serving un-scaled images seems the best solution in my opinion.

Main problem i see will be XBMC movie details where the image is brightened and resized for background. This will look way off with an original image.

A 3rd party service would mean expenses which is always a bad thing for an open source project.

I have done some debugging now, so here it goes:

Hope this will tell you anything

I have seen your second error message before. There is probably no image decoder available on your system. Try installing libjpeg-dev and libpng-dev on your system, and re-install PIL.

Code:

sudo apt-get install libpng-dev
sudo apt-get install libjpeg-dev

Then re-install PIL

Hope this helps you!
