January 20, 201214 yr Im running the sb server version 7.7.0 with beta 14 Everything works fine till i turn of unraid and the squeezebox. Say when i want to start it all up the next day, the sb cant find anymore albums although everything is running I have to redo the whole library thing then.... and again chose the maps and stuff where my music is.. how come? install directory is /usr/local/slimserver although i dont know where that is? is it on my flash?
January 20, 201214 yr Hi, /usr/local/slimserver = RAM //Peter yeah, i figured that out already here http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=16389.msg161677#new thx and ram is deleted after reboot right.. i've just installed it on my flash drive, lets see if that works..
January 24, 201214 yr I got a questions.. Everything is up and running, but i added a few new songs, so i need to rescan my maps how do i get into the slimserver? to do a rescan? where do i browse to?
February 15, 201214 yr Never on USB, use cache if you have Ok so I have a full unRAID going now - I have a laptop drive setup with snap as I am running 4.7 as I had too many NFS issues with the newest version. How can I get this installed on my SNAP drive.
February 17, 201214 yr Hi! I installed the server and everything is working so far. But one problem still persists. When I copy files to my music share on my unraid box (b14) the server does not recognize them. I have to run the "new permissions"-script under "utils" to help the squeezebox server seeing the new directories. This is a bit inconvenient. I installed the slimserver via the gui into /boot/slimserver Anybody an idea how to solve this problem? Thanks. Bye. EDIT: Permission before the "new permission" script drwxrwx--- 1 root root 48 2012-02-17 21:24 Test/ after (visiable for the SBS) drwxrwx--- 1 nobody users 48 2012-02-17 21:24 Test/
February 17, 201214 yr I'm not sure. Will this solve my problem? http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=3542.msg43168#msg43168
February 23, 201214 yr So I am using SNAP with my setup and I can get squeezebox to load by doing the following - cd /mnt/disk1 chmod -R 777 slimserver chmod -R 777 Music\ Listening (or the name of your music directory) echo >> /etc/passwd echo slimserver:$1$oExleBv6$Ux2qBpAanWMqJqUeH2xqp1:1000:100:,,,:/home/slimserver:/bin/bash >> /etc/passwd chown -R slimserver.users . (note : there is a space and dot at the end) cd slimserver chmod -R 775 Cache perl slimserver.pl --daemon --user slimserver But what can I do so that if I reboot this is all done so I dont' have to do it manually?
June 16, 201214 yr Now I have an issue where it doesn't seem to start up anymore....anything I can check to verify things are done correctly?
June 16, 201214 yr To get slimserver (are you really still using slimserver, that is quite old?) to start up automatically on boot, you can put all those commands into a script and call that script from the system 'go' script. The only difficulty is that you will have to ensure that disk1 is mounted and ready before the slimserver script runs. Something like this may help: #################################################################################### # wait_cache # A simple utility to suspend further processing until the a drive comes online. # # Version 1.0 based on snippet of code taken from Joe L's cache_dirs # # Peter Bell. #################################################################################### let count=120 let interval=2 while [ ! -d /mnt/disk1 -a $count -gt 0 ] do # Wait for the drive to come online sleep $interval let count=count-interval done if [ $count -le 0 ] then exit 1 fi exit 0 As for your current problem with it not starting - when you issue the commands by hand, do you get an error message? Is there a slimserver-specific log file ... anything in there?
June 18, 201214 yr I use info from a post I found here - it always worked before. cd /mnt/disk/sde1/apps chmod -R 777 slimserver chmod -R 777 Music\ Listening (or the name of your music directory) echo >> /etc/passwd echo slimserver:$1$oExleBv6$Ux2qBpAanWMqJqUeH2xqp1:1000:100:,,,:/home/slimserver:/bin/bash >> /etc/passwd chown -R slimserver.users . (note : there is a space and dot at the end) cd slimserver chmod -R 775 Cache perl slimserver.pl --daemon --user slimserver error I see in log after running last line of code - [12-06-18 13:04:44.7056] main::init (354) Starting Logitech Media Server (v7.7.2, r33849, Mon Feb 20 03:27:10 MST 2012) perl 5.010000 [12-06-18 13:04:45.0675] Slim::Utils::SQLiteHelper::postConnect (359) Optimizing DB because of missing or empty sqlite_stat1 table [12-06-18 13:04:45.7054] Path::Class::File::openw (61) Warning: Can't write /mnt/disk/sde1/apps2/slimserver/prefs/log.conf: Permission denied at /mnt/disk/sde1/apps2/slimserver/CPAN/Path/Class/File.pm line 61.
June 19, 201214 yr Well, I guess that you need to check ownership and permissions of the directory /mnt/disk/sde1/apps2/slimserver/prefs/, and the file log.conf within that directory. If I remember correctly, there is a problem with creation of logfiles - it seems that they get created with the ownership (or user) of the process as it is launched. Then, the option '--user slimserver' changes the user to slimserver, at which point, permissions to write the logfile are denied. My guess is that this problem started to occur because the file log.conf got deleted. My old startup script used to do this: echo " " >> /var/log/server.log chown squeezeboxserver /var/log/server.log echo " " >> /var/log/perfmon.log chown squeezeboxserver /var/log/perfmon.log echo " " >> /var/log/scanner.log chown squeezeboxserver /var/log/scanner.log perl /mnt/cache/.Squeeze/squeezeboxserver/slimserver.pl --nosb1slimp3sync --logdir /var/log --cachedir /mnt/cache/.Squeeze/squeezeboxserver/cache --noupnp --daemon --user squeezeboxserver In other words, I pre-created the three logfiles then changed their ownership before starting slim server.
June 29, 201214 yr Friends, I was out of my country for 7,8 months and now I am back. I am trying to open the squeezbox server from <<unraid IP>>:9000 address and the logitech server is asking for user name and password. and the stupid part is I dont recall providing any passwords :-[, but I guess I must have on the GUI inter phase. The question is, any way to reset the squeezebox server password .........?? :( :(
April 18, 201313 yr Running 5.0-rc11 and everytime I reboot I have to resetup squeezebox server....Why?
April 29, 201313 yr i cant enable squeezebox in the webgui. when i try enable, it says squeezebox server is stopped. i tried reinstalling the plugin again to see any error. root@Tower:/boot/config/plugins# installplg logitechmediaserver-7.7.2-plugin_v1.3.plg installing plugin: logitechmediaserver-7.7.2-plugin_v1.3 file /boot/packages/perl-5.10.1-i486-1.txz: already exists upgradepkg --install-new /boot/packages/perl-5.10.1-i486-1.txz ... +============================================================================== | Skipping package perl-5.10.1-i486-1 (already installed) +============================================================================== success file /boot/config/plugins/slimserver/logitechmediaserver-7.7.2.tgz: already exists file /boot/config/plugins/slimserver/slimserver.png: already exists file /tmp/slimserver-cleanup: successfully wrote INLINE file contents /bin/bash /tmp/slimserver-cleanup ... success file /boot/config/plugins/slimserver/slimserver.cfg: already exists file /etc/rc.d/rc.slimserver: successfully wrote INLINE file contents successfully changed file mode file /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/slimserver/slimserver.page: successfully wrote INLINE file contents file /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/slimserver/slimserver.png: successfully copied LOCAL file file /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/slimserver/slimserver.php: successfully wrote INLINE file contents file /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/slimserver/event/disks_mounted: successfully wrote INLINE file contents successfully changed file mode file /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/slimserver/event/unmounting_disks: successfully wrote INLINE file contents successfully changed file mode file /tmp/slimserver-install: successfully wrote INLINE file contents /bin/bash /tmp/slimserver-install ...

Edit:chmod -R 777 fixed it
May 14, 201313 yr Which is the best directory to install Squeezebox Server 7.7.1? Instead of /usr/local/slimserver which is the default, but the RAM is cleared with reboot. Used Unraid is V5.0 rc12a.
May 15, 201313 yr Which is the best directory to install Squeezebox Server 7.7.1? Instead of /usr/local/slimserver which is the default, but the RAM is cleared with reboot. Used Unraid is V5.0 rc12a. Anywhere on a physical disk (not lash drive). I have a directory set up on my cache drive: /mnt/cache/Squeeze-7.7.2
