Installing Ace Stream Engine
To run Ace Stream Engine you need to install some dependencies, download a tarball and unpack it in any folder you want. After that engine can be run from that folder with simple shell script included in the package.
Here is an example how to install Ace Stream 3.1.14 for Ubuntu 14 in the folder /opt/acestream
1. Download the latest version (you can find actual links here)
wget "http://dl.acestream.org/linux/acestream_3.1.14_ubuntu_14.04_x86_64.tar.gz"
2. Unpack tarball:
tar zxvf acestream_3.1.14_ubuntu_14.04_x86_64.tar.gz
3. Move Ace Stream to the selected folder:
mv acestream_3.1.14_ubuntu_14.04_x86_64 /opt/acestream
4. Install dependencies:
sudo apt-get install python-m2crypto sudo apt-get install python-apsw sudo apt-get install python-appindicator
Now you can run engine with this command:
/opt/acestream/start-engine
Engine have several operational modes and you must select one of them when starting. For example, to start client engine on Ubuntu with GTK GUI use this command:
/opt/acestream/start-engine --client-gtk
To start client engine without GUI:
/opt/acestream/start-engine --client-console
The full list of available options is here
Installing Ace Stream Player
Install from repository
Currently player is available in repositories for these systems:
- Ubuntu 12.04:
deb http://repo.acestream.org/ubuntu/ precise main
- Ubuntu 14.04:
deb http://repo.acestream.org/ubuntu/ trusty main
To install player from repository follow these steps:
1. Add corresponding repository link to /etc/apt/sources.list file.
2. Install public key:
sudo wget -O - http://repo.acestream.org/keys/acestream.public.key | sudo apt-key add -
3. Install player:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install acestream-player
3. Run player:
acestreamplayer
Build from sources
Player sources are here: https://bitbucket.org/AceStream/acestreamplayer
You can find build instructions in the project's readme.
Please note that you have to get a valid product key to build fully operational player. There are more details about this in the readme.
Configure engine autorun
Ace Stream Player tries to connect to the engine and start it if it's not already started.
Player executes this command to start engine:
/usr/bin/acestreamengine --client-gtk
To make this work you need to create /usr/bin/acestreamengine shell script which points to the folder where you have installed engine in. For example, if you have installed engine in /opt/acestream then the script will be:
#/bin/sh
ROOT=/opt/acestream
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${ROOT}/lib ${ROOT}/acestreamengine --lib-path ${ROOT} $@
