Thanks Paul, in LMS Settings, I have selected don't download updates and don't search for updates and added 10.10.10.1 as safe IP addresses it now works flawlessly. I haven't tried the -nomysqueezebox tag it's taken me ages to get to this point and so I'm thinking "if it ain't broke don't fix it". I now can play my WMAL music collection of just under 24,000 songs, converting to FLAC to my Squeezebox Classic, replacing 1. Wifi Router 2. Wifi Signal Booster (to get the wifi downstairs) 3. An old laptop running LMS 4. A 5.25" HDD (total power 600W (according to my plugin meter) 1. Pi Zero W 2. 3.5" USB HDD (total power 30W!) Thanks to you and all involved for all your amazing work on this, and your fast and comprehensive replies and finally your patience with all our silly questions!

Thanks for your reply about 3.5 (I started working with this back in February which is why I was still on 3.2) Are you aware of a problem with the library being shown as "empty" on 3.5? I setup everything fine (fresh install from the download link you provided above) made all settings as per 3.2, the library media scan worked ok in that I can see on the :9000 page "1824 albums with 23738 songs by 743 artists. However, the "My Music" folder is empty and when I connect with my Squeezebox Classic it says the music library is "empty". I've rebooted twice and also re scanned the library. I've searched the 3.5 thread and no-one else seems to be reporting the issue, any idea what it could be? shaunm's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11987 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107995 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: piCorePlayer 3.00
Thanks for the replies. I tried those instructions, but it didn't really work. It does try to play but with 60% juddering and hissing. Should I have installed pcp-ffmpeg.tcz or ffmpeg.tcz ? Just to confirm, I am using a Squeezebox Classic, and only want to use LMS on the Raspberry Pi (not the player) Thanks in advance. shaunm's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11987 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105997 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: piCorePlayer 3.00
Thanks for awesome work on this project. I am trying to use the PiCorePlayer as just a LMS with a Raspberry Pi Zero W, which my Squeezebox classic connects to. I've set everything else up perfectly and easily due to the great instructions (thanks!) except playing wmal files. 1. LMS with Squeezebox I've spent all day trying, I can play: mp3 wav mpeg-4 wma BUT, cannot play wmal (wma lossless) get this error: Slim::Player::Song::open (409) Error: Couldn't create command line for wmal playback for [file name] Unfortunately 75% of music collection (27,000 songs) is wmal. I've read it's a windows codec for WMAL, so is it simply the case you cannot play WMAL files in LMS? 2. Just to check, I tried the built-in Squeezelite player and it does play WMAL all be it with juddering and hissing (hdmi out) 3. I don't know if this what I'm missing, but I tried to load the extension ffmpeg.tcz but it failed with this message: Downloading: expat2.tcz Error on expat2.tcz 4. I loaded the extension ffmpeg-doc.tcz and restarted but didn't seem to do anything. An help would be appreciated. All I'm looking to do is for LMS to work with my Squeezebox Classic, playing WMAL files Thanks in advance, shaunm's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11987 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105997 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Raspbian 9 (stretch) and LMS 7.9.1, works
Thank you so much for this, I've been trying to install LMS on a Raspberry Pi Zero for the last 12 hours, trying several raspbian packages but all failed miserably UNTIL I saw your instructions. Went like a breeze with Rasbian Stretch and LMS v7.9.1 ! My setup is: Raspberry Pi Zero (not Zero W) Using as LMS Server only (I have a Squeezebox Classic) Pi Zero is connected to 2.5" HDD via a USB hub (not a powered hub) Pi Zero connected via Ethernet to my router (tomorrow I will be unpluging it from the router and pluging it in directly to the Squeezebox so it won't have to go through my router at all - completely unattached to network, so unhackable) dizzysnakepilot wrote: > > With an external USB drive, be aware LMS runs as user > 'squeezeboxserver', and so won't by default be able to see the USB drive > files in the "select the folder with your music' setup step. I'm not > sure the best way to fix this (I chown'd them for the LMS user just for > now) > Instead of having a LMS user and using chown, I have permanently mounted a 2.5" HDD (yes, the Pi Zero has enough power from the USB port to run it!) using the instructions below... USB stick or HDD mounting 1.First create a usb directory under /mnt: cd /mnt sudo mkdir usb 2. Put some MP3s on a USB stick (my audio files are .wma) and plug it into the raspberry via the hub. 3. Now, find the uuid of the USB stick using the following command: sudo blkid This was my result: /dev/mmcblk0: PTUUID="efa3f64e" PTTYPE="dos" /dev/mmcblk0p1: SEC_TYPE="msdos" LABEL="boot" UUID="22E0-C711" TYPE="vfat" PARTUUID="efa3f64e-01" /dev/mmcblk0p2: UUID="202638e1-4ce4-45df-9a00-ad725c2537bb" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="efa3f64e-02" /dev/sda1: LABEL="Music" UUID="18C6F806C6F96502" TYPE="ntfs" Search for the line that starts with /dev/sda1, thats the USB stick. Now copy the hex number thats behind UUID=, and also note the value behind TYPE=. 4. Now edit this file: sudo nano /etc/fstab 5. And add this line to the end of it: UUID=copied_code /mnt/usb copied_type defaults,nofail,dmask=000,fmask=111 0 2 And change copied_code and copied_type to the values taken from the previous command. In my case it was: UUID=18C6F806C6F96502 /mnt/usb ntfs defaults 0 2 6. Save the file and do a reboot: sudo reboot ** All credit goes to Gerrelt for these instructions which were pasted from the excellent page at http://www.gerrelt.nl/RaspberryPi/wordpress/tutorial-stand-alone-squeezebox-server-and-player-for-bbq/#Setup_the_LMS_server (On this page, there are also instructions for installing a played on the Pi as well if you need that, and also a WiFi connection to control from a mobile phone) Hope this helps someone. shaunm's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11987 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108602 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
