Installation:
OpenSuse user can use 1 click installer - here from Packman which supports openSUSE 11.0/10.3/10.2. This will download the elisa YaSt Metapackage (YMP) file and launch YaST Package manager for installation.
For Ubuntu:
Add the following line in /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://elisa.fluendo.com/packages gutsy main
Import the GPG key:
$ wget http://elisa.fluendo.com/packages/philn.asc -O - | sudo apt-key add -
Run:
$ sudo aptitude update
$ sudo aptitude install elisa
or:
$ sudo aptitude install elisa-extra
Setup and Configuration:
Thanks to the distro-specific packages provided by Fluendo, installation is simple for the majority of users. On launch, Elisa looks for the configuration file ~/.elisa/elisa.conf. If it does not find one (and it won't the first time you run Elisa), it creates a skeleton elisa.conf file that you can then edit in any text editor.
The important options to customize are the locations in which Elisa will look for media. The default elisa.conf specifies ./sample_data/movies, ./sample_data/music, and ./sample_data/pictures -- directories that do not even exist inside ~./elisa/.
You can add as many locations as you like. Just scroll down in the file to find each list. To configure movie directory, for example, look for the line [plugins.movies]. Beneath it is a line reading locations = ['file://./sample_data/movies/*'] -- change this to point to a directory on your own system, such as locations = ['file:///home/yourusername/movies/*']. If you have multiple directories, separate them with commas: locations = ['file:///home/yourusername/movies/*', 'file:///home/yourusername/tvshows/*'].
You are not limited to file:// URLs, either -- network shares are accessible via other standard protocols, from smb:// or nfs:// to http://. When you have made the appropriate changes to the [plugins.movies], [plugins.music], and [plugins.pictures] sections, save elisa.conf and restart Elisa.
