how can I tell if Mediabrowser plugin is working?

[Gwarph]

HI All,
I am on 9.3. I installed the Mediabrowser plugin.
The jail was auto-created, and in the GUI, it shows the jail Mediabrowser installed and running.

I went to the CLI in the Jail, and entered ps auxww. and I see the process running:

Code:

root@mediabrowser_1:/ # ps auxww

mediabrowser already running?  (pid=38026).                                                                           
root@mediabrowser_1:/ #  

I tried HTTP to 192.168.1.2 but Safari says it can't connect to the server.
I can ping 192.168.1.2 from the network fine.

I tried stopping and starting the plugin (no difference)
I edited /etc/rc/conf in the jail and changed the following to YES from No, restarted - no difference.

Code:

mediabrowser_enable="YES"

The reason I am asking how to check is when I try to reach the server from my iPhone (over local wifi) it cannot find the server 192.168.1.2.

Thanks,
Gwarph

You don't need to be editing any config files for this plugin.

Did you start the Service from Plugins > Installed tab?
You can get to the MediaBrowser interface by clicking Plugins (in the left tree menu) > MediaBrowser > click on the word "here"

HI Joshua,
I appreciate all the feedback you have been providing on this plugin.
I finally saw what you meant about 'here'. Didn't see that that was a link.
I clicked it and it took me to:

Code:

http://192.168.1.2:8096/mediabrowser/dashboard/wizarduser.html

and I saw the config info so things look good.
I guess I needed that extension on the port (I had tried 8096 from another post).

One follow up question; if the rc.conf is set to 'no', how does init know to start this up?

Thanks,Gwarph.

When you enable the plugin from the Plugins > Installed tab an entry is added to /etc/rc.conf using sysrc(8)
