the installation instructions for the website are WOEFULLY lacking for installing on linux.
I followed all the instructions and I can't get anything to work. I can't even get any feedback about what's not working.
the instructions say "run Ersatztv" after extracting, and upon doing that, literally nothing happens. you run the program and there is no feedback at all. is it running? i have no fucking idea.
when i go to the Localhost:8409 in a browser, nothing happens. it just says the page can't be reached. the instructions say to go to [serverip]:8409, BUT WHAT THE HELL IS THE SERVER IP?!?!?! HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT?!?!?! there is no feedback upon running the program. i dont even know if it's actually running, much less what ip adress it's using.
i even followed a 3rd party set of instructions on another website that had me run a ton of esoteric commands to create some file and make it run on startup, and still nothing. i still need to know the server ip and still no fucking clue how to find that out.
so what the hell do i do?
