Installing Ace Stream on Debian/Ubuntu from repository

Step 1

Add link on appropriate repository into /etc/apt/sources.list file.

Repository should be selected according to operating system.

Debian 6:

deb http://repo.acestream.org/debian/ squeeze main
or
deb http://repo.acestream.org/debian/ sid main

Note: packages in sid repository are assembled with dependencies that correspond to official sid-repositories of Debian. If you don't know, which repository to choose, use squeeze.

Debian 7:

deb http://repo.acestream.org/debian/ wheezy main

Ubuntu 11.10:

deb http://repo.acestream.org/ubuntu/ oneiric main

Ubuntu 12.04:

deb http://repo.acestream.org/ubuntu/ precise main

Ubuntu 12.10:

deb http://repo.acestream.org/ubuntu/ quantal main

Ubuntu 13.04:

deb http://repo.acestream.org/ubuntu/ raring main

Step 2

Installing public key. To do this you have to run the following command:

Debian:

wget -O - http://repo.acestream.org/keys/acestream.public.key | apt-key add -

Ubuntu:

sudo wget -O - http://repo.acestream.org/keys/acestream.public.key | sudo apt-key add -

Step 3

Installing the right package. For example, for engine installation you have to install acestream-engine package.

Debian

apt-get update
apt-get install acestream-engine

Ubuntu

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install acestream-engine

The following packages are available in the repository for Ubuntu:

• acestream-engine - engine
• acestream-mozilla-plugin - plug-in for browser
• acestream-player - desktop player
• acestream-player-data - set of common libraries for the player and plug-in
• acestream-full - full package, including all of the above

For Debian only the engine (acestream-engine) is available.

Probably you have added "deb-src http://repo.acestream.org/ubuntu/ precise main" in your sources.list instead of "deb http://repo.acestream.org/ubuntu/ precise main".
There are no source packages for acestream, only binary packages.

What should you do when something doesn't work?

First of all, are there any problems with an installation from repository http://repo.acestream.org? If during the installation some mistakes appear, please, post description of these mistakes on forum.

If the installation from the repository was successful, but something doesn't work, you should first check whether plugin for browser is installed. To do this open your browser and go to http://info.acestream.org/#/test.

If you will be transfered to a page of plugin installation - it means that plugin is not installed or installed incorrectly. Just in case, open a list of installed plugins (in Firefox press Ctrl-Shift-A, in Chrome enter "chrome://plugins" into address bar). Search for Ace Stream P2P Multimedia Plugin 2.1.6 in the list of plugins. If it's not there, write on forum a version of your OS and a browser's version. If plugin is on the list, but disabled - enable it and try again.

If at http://info.acestream.org/#/test you saw a test player, it means that plugin is installed correctly. In this case you should check the work of the engine:

• is there an icon of Ace Stream on the panel?
• does a file /tmp/acestream.log exist

If there is neither the icon, nor the file, try to start the engine from the command line.

At first, check the engine's version:
$ acestreamengine -v
(this command has to output the engine's version, the current version is 2.1.6)

Now try to start the engine from the command line:
$ acestreamengine --client-gtk
(launch with using GTK library to draw the icon and engine's menu)

If it didn't work, try to start the engine without using a graphic library:
$ acestreamengine --client-console --log-file /tmp/acestream.log
(launch in a console mode, the icon doesn't appear, logs are written to file /tmp/acestream.log)

If mistakes appeared during the launch - post them on forum.
If the engine has started, but still playback doesn't start on the page with a test player, post on forum the engine's log file (/tmp/acestream.log).

Hail google-translate - I managed to register

My log file attached - the problem I'm having is that when I click an acestream link the player freezes for a few seconds and nothing happens, the engine doesn't start. I've been using acestream for months without problems, my favourite stream software. This started happening after I upgraded to ubuntu 13.10, all was good with previous editions. Installation is going smootly, no issues. I tried to remove everything completely and re-install it again, but no luck, engine will just not start. Any ideas?

Many thanks,
Konrad

Please any help will be appreciated.

Is there any chance you can compile an ARM package or allow others to compile?
I am a torrent-tv VIP user and want to watch it on my Raspberry Pi very bad.
Any hint will be greatly appreciated!

Thank you, I can read. Clearly this is not the answer to my question.
There's no Debian ARM package in the repo and that's what I need as I am using Raspberry Pi.

Hope to get some help from AceTorrent team. There are many of us desiring to use AceTorrent on RPi.

Thank you, kauf!
Unfortunately, I did read these pages before.
I installed the python old versions of AceTorrent but they din't seem to work with the new versions of the server.
I tried them on three different clean distributions of RaspBMC/Xbian/OpenElec and none worked.
I ended up using a local TS Proxy on my home desktop and watching TV through IPTV PVR client on RPi.
It is a workable solution but I am sure users like myself would benefit from a 'native' AceTorrent solution.
