Installed squeezecenter-7.0.0-0.1.20071221.noarch.rpm without any difficulty on a standard Clarke-Connect v4.2. SC started and scanned the library as expected. I did get the following error in the server log on startup, which does not seem to affect operation: 07-12-23 14:07:32.9038] Slim::Formats::RemoteStream::open (96) Can't open socket to [localhost:10002]: 111: Connection refused [07-12-23 14:07:42.2152] Slim::Networking::Async::_connect_error (151) Failed to connect: [07-12-23 14:07:42.2174] Slim::Networking::Async::_async_error (248) Error: [Connect timed out] [07-12-23 14:07:42.2194] Slim::Networking::Async::HTTP::_http_error (264) Error: [Connect timed out] [07-12-23 14:07:42.2233] Slim::Utils::Firmware::downloadAsyncError (487) Warning: Firmware: Failed to download http://update.slimdevices.com/update/firmware/7.0/jive.version (Connect timed out), will try again in 10 minutes. For me the main issue is the structure of the new rpm which distributes squeezecentre widely around the directories. Although this follows convention for a range of repos, it makes for a more convoluted structure for the user who may wish to modify the server. More importantly, it differs from the file structure in svn and the tar.gz files. I do however see that your aims are to standardize the process for a number of distros. I also tried to install alienbbc-linux-v2.00beta2_7.0.tar.gz. Had to move mplayer.sh from /var/lib/squeezecenter/Bin (where it is extracted) to /var/lib/squeezecenter/Plugins/Bin which then recognised rtsp. Although Alien appears in the Radio menu, when selected the list of stations is blank. Presumably, some of the Alien files need to be somewhere other than /var/lib/squeezecenter/Plugins/Alien. Will ther be a modified Alien soon? The following info is for the benefit of C-C users who may have followed the procedure to upgrade to perl-5.8.8 in http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41188 Because the new rpm uses /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/Slim, for some SC perl modules a link to that dir is needed in the @INC path on perl-5.8.8. This can be done by #ln -s /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/Slim /usr/local/bin/myperl/lib/site_perl/Slim -- Ramage T5500 1.6GHz, SqueezeCentre Version: 7.0 - 15023 Windows Vista, Alien 2.0b P4 2.6GHz, SqueezeCentre Version: 7.0 - 15413 - Windows XP, Alien 2.0b P2 266MHz, Linux ClarkConnect 4.2, SlimServer Version: 7 - 15415, Alien 2.0b, perl 5.8.8 i686-linux-thread-multi NSLU2 Unslung 6.8b SlimServer Version: 6.3.1 - 8476 - Linux, No Alien ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ramage's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5343 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41217 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
