AirVideo is a Client/Server-Mediaplayer, which allows you to stream videos directly from your PC to your iPhone. Its server software started as Windows-/Mac-only but now there’s also a Linux server module available, too.
All details are explained in their user forums.
Compile the special FFmpeg under Ubuntu
- download the customized version of FFmpeg from: http://www.inmethod.com/air-video/licenses.html (use the 2.2.5 version!) and unpack it to some directory
- install the following packages: libmp3lame-dev, libfaad-dev, libx264-dev (
0.svn20100115-0.0~kkstemp1from Stéphane Marguet’s PPA!), mpeg4ip-server, git-core, pkg-config- change to the directory to where you have unpacked FFmpeg
- run:
$ ./configure --enable-pthreads --disable-shared --enable-static --enable-gpl --enable-libx264 --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libfaad --disable-decoder=aac
$ make- after the build is complete, download the
AirVideoServerLinux.jarandtest.propertiesfrom this posting (UPDATE: Newer version) - modify the
test.propertiesand fix the paths to the 3 tools and your video directory:path.ffmpegshould point to your just compiledffmpeg-binarypath.mp4creatoris/usr/bin/mp4creatorpath.faacis/usr/bin/faacfoldersformat is: <label1>:<path1>,<label2>:<path2>,…,<labelN>:<pathN>- leave the other options as they are
- finally you can run:
java -jar AirVideoServerLinux.jar test.properties- manually add the server (by its IP!) to AirVideo on your iPhone
- Have fun!
Autostart AirVideoServer
To autostart AirVideoServer upon bootup, you can use UpStart which is the default way in Karmic Koala.
Just create a file /etc/init/airvideo.conf with these contents:
start on runlevel [2345]
stop on shutdown
respawn
exec sudo -H -n -u mbirth /usr/bin/java -jar /opt/AirVideoServer/AirVideoServerLinux.jar /opt/AirVideoServer/test.propertiesThis will tell UpStart to run the server process as user mbirth upon reaching one of the runlevels 2-5 and stop the server when the system shuts down. respawn tells it to restart the server if it crashed.
You can also control it manually by doing
sudo start airvideoor
sudo stop airvideoBonjour Announcement
jcheshire pointed out how to add AirVideo to the avahi-daemon, so that it is automatically recognized by the clients. Read more in the AirVideo forums.
mbirth,
Thanks for your efforts in putting this together! I keep having a permissions issue with my ffmpeg:
Exception in thread “LimitedExecutionThread” java.lang.RuntimeException: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program “/home//AirVideoServer/ffmpeg”: java.io.IOException: error=13, Permission denied

My path.ffmpeg is set to path.ffmpeg = /home//AirVideoServer/ffmpeg , and I am using the exact ffmpeg version you provided.
Neither the thumbnails nor the actual videos can load. I can see the file structure, but that’s about it. Any ideas?
Thanks.
Check the permissions of the ffmpeg file (needs +rx for the user the AirVideo server is running with) and also the permissions of all directories to the binary. My guess is that the AirVideo server runs as a different user which is not allowed to change to your home dir.
Markus,
Found the issue, I wasn’t pointing directly to the ffmpeg file, i was pointing to the folder. D’oh.
Thanks for your help, and for porting this to Linux. Great product.
Hi @all
When u have problems starting the server,
try one time this upstart script.
I have airvideo also running in my home directory
and it works lika a charm on my ubuntu.
Excerpts of airvideo.conf:
———
start on runlevel [2345]
stop on shutdown
respawn
chdir /path/to/airvideo/
exec sudo -H -n -u username /usr/bin/java -jar /path/to/airvideo/AirVideoServerLinux.jar /path/to/airvideo/test.properties
———
It is more or less the same as the script from mbirth
except the chdir path to the airvideo server.
Try it out and let us know if it works 😉
Cheers mfgeg
This is awesome. Thanks
Great guide, thanks!
hello and thanks
problem with the ./configure of ffmpeg, get this:
==================
jaunty:~/src/ffmpeg$ ./configure –enable-pthreads –disable-shared –enable-static –enable-gpl –enable-libx264 –enable-libmp3lame –enable-libfaad –disable-decoder=aac
ERROR: libx264 version must be >= 0.83.
If you think configure made a mistake, make sure you are using the latest
version from SVN. If the latest version fails, report the problem to the
ffmpeg-user@mplayerhq.hu mailing list or IRC #ffmpeg on irc.freenode.net.
Include the log file “config.err” produced by configure as this will help
solving the problem.
===================
followed PPA for Stephan instructions for repository changes and update in ubuntu 9.10 when installing x264 but still no joy.
Any ideas?
Cheers, this is awesome. Just a remark: on a fresh lucyd lynx install, check that you do have libavfilter0, libavdevice52 and faac installed, otherwise the dependencies aren’t met, and you can’t configure/make/install ffmpeg.
also, it failed to convert videos afterwards. The server ran, but impossible to actually read the videos. Launching it like this did the trick :
/usr/bin/java -Djava.awt.headless=true -jar AirVideoServerLinux.jar airvideo.properties
You forgot to “make” ffmpeg.
I thought it was obvious for any regular Linux user… but I’ll add it for completeness. 😉

My 50 cents: I’m running the win32 version under wine and was really easy to install. To make it quick:
– Install wine
– Install the latest jdk/jre for windows with wine
– Install apple “bonjour” service for windows with wine
– Install airvideo
And you are done;
Of course it’s sub-efficient, but I don’t care!
PS: “Bonjour” is just here to make airvideo installer happy; server is declared with a static ip on iphone side.
Excellent stuff – I just tried this on Karmic and works a treat! Just follow the directions…
A HUGE Thanks to everyone involved in getting this to work on Linux.
i have very basic problems with installing under lucid. i cant find the packages libmp3lame-dev and mpeg4ip-server. clould anybody please tell me how to install them?!
Im very happy with linux version.. thank you
Would this work on a XBMC Live 9.11 Box?
Please can someone help.
When running the server and I connect via my iPhone, I can see the files but I get the following error outup in terminal

Fix your properties file: path.ffmpeg = /usr/local/src/ffmpeg/ffmpeg
(or wherever you installed it: what you stated above appears to be the directory, not the application path)
Has anyone noticed that the new app is not compatible this version of server
Try the latest AVS download from InMethod here: http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/list/1856.page
Just to clarify Wadageeks post:
We need at least newer AirVideoServerLinux.jar as app will not connect and list files from the older one. Maybe also a new ffserver?
the mpeg4ip-server is conflicted with mplayer, any idea?

Would it be possible to install the listed packages on a Synology NAS? I know it uses ipkg for installing packages, but I wasn’t sure if this could be done.
On Lucid I ended up adding a script to Startup Applications because Upstart isn’t working. It’s spawning a process but it’s immediately dieing.
Airvideo server is outdated … pls update… what to do? using the latest one from this page 🙁
I just used 2.2.3 version of AirVideo on the iPad. Works perfectly! Thanks for this.
I installed the AirVideo server on Ubuntu 10.10 (maverick), based on these instructions. Some things were slightly simpler in this more modern version of Ubuntu. Also, I included a bit more copy-paste ready code directly in the instructions. I hope it might be of help to someone. The instructions are here:
http://mag.icus.se/blog/2010-11-16/airvideo-on-ubuntu-1010-maverick/
If anyone else wants to run/autostart the server on CentOS/Redhat, see the post on AirVideo forum: http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/list/30/1856.page#15119
Updated Post for Linux version of AirVideoServer:
http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/list/1856.page
This worked flawlessly! Thank you so much for the instructions. I’ve been looking for a native iPhone movie conversion and streaming app! Has anyone compilied this as a deb package for Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat? I don’t know how to go about doing that, but I think it would be helpful for newer users/easier for everyone.
Hi! Thanks for this manual. Im really new in Ubuntu. I really need some help. I have no problem to connect to the server with the client in my Iphone. But when im trying to stream a file i get this message in the treminal:

Thanks a lot!
Completely works on my debian-lenny.
Someone try to install it to atom D525 + ION2?
I want to buy nettop for home media server
I have it installed on an ATOM D510 and it works very well.
Step 5 needs to be updated with the newer Alpha 4 build posted here http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/list/405/34.page#12578
This will stop the “old server version” error on the app
Have tried to build the server on ubuntu 10.04. It seems to be successful. It runs with the following errors:

Will try it at home tonight. Thanks a lot.
Thanks. Got it going in Debian Squeeze. Now time to figure out the init script since Debian doesn’t use Upstart.
I got this running today on ubuntu 11.04. I followed the same steps except:
2. I just used ‘sudo apt-get install package-name’ to get all the latest packages and thus didn’t need to download Stephane Marquet’s libx264-dev.
5. I used this version:http://inmethod.com/air-video/download/linux/alpha4/AirVideoServerLinux.jar. There is a fewer newer alphas but they didn’t work for me.
Other than that everything was the same. I have tested it with a few avi and divx files streaming to my iPad and all seems okay.
I have installed this on Fedora 13, after jumping through several hoops. Had to build mp4creator as well which was not straight forward, several errors in the build process.
Brought up the server

I manually added the server to the ipad app, but I get “Your server software is outdated. Please update AirVideoServer
Any suggestions welcomed.
Update:
I downloaded the mac server and that worked. I then noticed testers wanted for beta testing. So I followed that link in http://inmethod.com/forum/posts/list/3594.page and found a download for the latest jar.So I downloaded the 2.4.5 beta 6 from http://www.inmethod.com/air-video/download/linux/alpha6/AirVideoServerLinux.jar and now it works on linux.
Nice Too bad I can’t find this Mythical test.properties file. Is this something we create or should I be finding it in the supplied links? If so I must be blind because I am not seeing it.
Oh this is awesome. Thank you so much!
Works brilliantly – just one problem; the autostart doesn’t work until I login. I’d like it to start before login so that anyone can use it without me needing to login.
My videos are in my home area (but shared to anyone). The custom ffmpeg and the jar file (and test.properties) are also in my home area (but chmod 777).
Could this be the cause of the problem? Should I move one or all of these to a location outside my homearea?
Thanks!
Hello.
Thanks for the article.
However I’d like to ask: mpeg4ip-server seems to be somewhat outdated, bot 1.5 and 1.6. As far as I’ve got, it’s not mp4v, but it’s interface is different (no ..creator executable). And it’s kind of hard to get mpeg4ip-server to compile and work (at least in centos 6/64). Did anyone tried to use mp4v?
Thanks
Hello
Thanks for sharing this article, i really like your article , i will keep visiting your blog!!
Any idea how to allow remote connections? this works great for LAN….
Air video server was working fine for me on Ubuntu 12.04 with the after I installed it from the Rubio PPA. Suddenly it stopped streaming media.
Now, I can launch the server, start it, and stop it.
When I try to use the client (paid on my iphone) I no longer see the folders where my media is.
If I try to edit the preferences, then the server crashes.
I don’t remember making any changes to the system prior to Airvideo server ceasing to function.
