Installation procedure on Windows
Download the latest binary
Unzip
Edit the file llink.conf.
On Windows you can use Notepad: follow the example to change ROOT directory to point to your media.
Look for the ROOT folder that doesn't have the # comment character in front:
ROOT|path=/Users/lundman/ftp/data/|FLAGS=-WCND
Change this to your path!
In Notepad:
ROOT|path=C:/path/to/your/mediafile/library/|FLAGS=-WCND
(change the drive letter C if other letter is used)
You can easily add more lines to other ROOT paths too.
When done, save the llink.conf file.
Start llink by double clicking llink.exe
Or, open DOS command shell (cmd) and type:
cd llink hit return (e.g. put yourself in the folder where llink.exe is located),
and then type llink.exe -d and hit return again.
Installation troubleshooting
Doesn't work right after installation?
Try changing the port that llink uses. Default port for llink is 8000, it could be possible that another service or application already is using that port. This setting is done in the llink.conf file.
Make sure your firewall allows llink to run.
Check if you can ping your media player (e.g. Popcorn Hour) on it's IP address. If this fails you probably have to review your network setup before attempting to run llink.
Do a soft reboot on the media player. On the Popcorn Hour A-100: press Power+Eject on the remote control.
