Hi,

 

I manage to get this work,

 

I added following to my go file  

 

EDIT:  Added some code to wait for my cache drive...

 

#determine if cache drive online, retry upto 7 times
for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
do
    if [ ! -d /mnt/cache ]
      then
      sleep 15
     fi
done

if [ -d /mnt/cache ]; then

cd /mnt/cache
chmod -R 777 slimserver  
#chmod -R 777 Audio\ Media (what ever is 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 .
cd slimserver
chmod -R 775 Cache
perl slimserver.pl --daemon --user slimserver

fi

Hello,

 

I just installed the latest Squeezeserver to my Unraid latest beta.

But this is what I get when i run the perl command

 

root@Novanas2:/mnt/disk1/slimserver# perl slimserver.pl --daemon --user slimserver

perl: warning: Setting locale failed.

    are supported and installed on your system.

It looks like the Squeezebox Server is running anyway but

- how do I access it (URL?)

- i do not see any perl process running

- i do not see any Squeeze... process running

 

Help appreciated.

 

 

Thanks

^^ Xtrips, r u sure your SBS is running, did you check it via, ps -ef command .. ??

The URL to access the SBS is <server address>:9000

 

Hello,

 

I installed Squeezebox as described in this thread and it works ok.

But now I see that there is newer way to install it that supports upgrades (or does it?) via Unraid Plugins ( _http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php?title=UnRAID_Plugins).

So, how do I do that?

First uninstall the previous one? If so then what is the procedure?

Or maybe does the new method overwrite the old version?

 

Can someone clarify what to do here?

 

 

Thank you

I believe if you are talking about the plugins that is if you are running version 5 betas as they have a new plugin manager for things like this to make it easier.

 

If it's not broke and working fine don't fix it.

I only use the option to navigate the music folder having already organised my music the way I want to find it.  Last time I put SqueezeBox Server on a Linux Server (admittedly 3 years ago on a Thecus NAS), I lost the ability to navigate my music library by traversing the "Music Folder" option and had to put it back on a windows box, is this feature available again now?

I have squeezebox server running on a mythbuntu box (so unbuntu version of linux) and my squeezebox boom and hifi can all navigate via folders.

has anybody managed to run this on version 5 Beta 11. also the media server linux version has also been updated to 7.7.

Since I upgraded to 5 beta 11 I decided to install the 7.7 version ...... followed the same exact procedure but seems server is not running ..... any idea any assistance ...??

My steps ...

 

Downloaded the "logitechmediaserver-7.7.0-33472.tgz" from http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/index.php?ver=7.7"

 

copy your logitechmediaserver-7.7.0-33472.tgz (Logitech Media Server: Unix Tarball) on your disk1

 

Log on to your Unraid page

 

Click on Package Manager

 

Perl: Download-install and enable on start up

 

Telnet into Tower, and run:

 

$ cd /mnt/disk1/

 

$ tar -xf logitechmediaserver-7.7.0-33472.tgz

$ mv logitechmediaserver-7.7.0-33472.tgz/ slimserver/

 

 

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

 

To see if it's running run:

ps -ef

 

and I dont see it running .......

ok this is the error I get ..

Hi all

 

I managed to resolve the above error, seems like Cache folder did not get the 777 correctly. Ran the Chmod -R 777 to Cache and the error was gone. Server worked fine for days until today when I had to reboot it for some reason and now I am stuck again with another problem. The server starts but with an error that gets stuck at the command prompt. It I press ctrl z to come to prompt again the server stops ... this is what I get ...

As you can see it does not come back to the $ prompt, but server runs and I can access it on IP:9000. But if I run a CTRL Z to get back to the prompt the server stops.

 

Any idea how to resolve this .... get rid of above error ... ?

 

 

Is there an updated how-to on this? i am confused as this thread is over 2 years old and 14 pages long. I see there is a plugin for it now but this again has very little documentation or help.

@sam9s if you are on the beta's try using the plugin created by limetech instead of thins method. I haven't tried it and it's been a while since I've had squeezeserver on unRAID but that is what I'd try first.

 

@tim8v same as above but if you are on 4.7 I think this is it, you'll have to read through a few pages.

Hi,

 

I am using the 7.6.0 version through the plugin install (plg).

Somehow my Squeezeserver does not retaing the settings after a reboot.

I have to go through the whole process every time I need to reboot the machine.

Any idea?

 

Thanks

Hello,

 

Squeezebox server works flawlessly on Readynas.

I am really tired of the problem it has on Unraid.

Losing the settings all the time, not rescanning the music folder when it should, not accessing the newly ripped music in the folder because permissions have to be changed.

This is really no fun at all.

I am moving my music back to my Readynas.

Anybody knows how to remove the Squeezebox Server 7.6.0 plugin on Unraid?

 

Thanks

just remove the .*plg from the plugin directory or the settings from the go script....if you have

Hi I read through as much as I could I managed to get the squeezebox server running no problem, I was just looking for the command to stop the server if I want to reboot unraid and also if I want

to uninstall squeezebox server to install it in a diffrent location what is the uninstall format? thanks for any help on this. running unraid 4.7

Lou

So is there an up to date install for squeezebox server?

Yes, see here  -> http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=16389.0

Great but for a Unraid newbie how does one go about getting it installed -

Does it go on the usb thumb drive, cache drive, Disk1 etc?

How do you actually install that file type....

 

You need at least Beta11

version: 5.0-beta14 is what I am running ...

Read here -> http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=14664.0

Excellent -

But then one last question is where do most people install add ons -

There USB drive, Cache drive, etc>

 

Never on USB, use cache if you have

What can one do if they are testing unRaid out and running two drives as of right now.
