IMHO that is right. >> I am running LMS 7.8 on a QNAP TS-869L, and am very unfamiliar with >> Linux.

I can try to write a step by step howto and I managed to get the plugin running on my linux system with LMS, but this is a normal linux and no Qnap with limmited possebilities of available packages, e.g. You have to install some aditional perl modules for example to get the shairtunes plugin running, I don't know if it is possible to install these perl modules via a packaging system or cpan. Also the avahi configuration has to be modified, no plan if this can be done on the Qnaps without side effects to the rest of the system. >> at the first hurdle.

I had the same error and for that reason I've installed the plugin manualy. This can be done by coping the downloaded and unpacked plugin directory in to /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/Plugins. Then the file permissions has to be corected and after that the plugin can be enabled via the LMS web interface. >> If I can get to the point where the plug-in is installed, I understand >> that I then need to "compile the helper app, on Linux".

Please tell me if this is >> wrong. If no of the pre-compiled binaries are running on your Qnap, you are not wrong and you really have to compile the shairtunes_helper binary. And that ist the next problem with the Qnaps..., you need an environment to compile binaries, no plan if the packages needed for this environment can be installed or how I can get such an environment. As said, I can try to write a step to step howto for the installation on a normal linux system, but to know how the plugin can be installed on a Qnap I need to have ssh access and root priveleges to such an device and also then installation can be different depending on the system architecture....
