Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] ANNOUNCE: piCorePlayer 6.0.0
My pi, running pcp 6.1.0, + touch screen + iqaudio dac has been working well for many months now, connected via ethernet. I have just moved the player, and wanted to use the built in wifi rather than wired connection. Ive enabled the wifi which connects to the network with no trouble, and gets given an IP address. The LMS server can see the player (on the wifi MAC address) However, each time I start the player, and select My music it reports a problem connecting to the server. If I go into the Choose Player menu, there are 2 entries for pcptouch (the playername). If I choose the first it connects fine, and everything then works OK. If I choose the second entry, it fails to connect. Im guessing its trying to connect over the wired interface rather than wifi. All this time, LMS can see the player on the proper wifi MAC address. Any suggestions how I can remove the duplicate player so it doesnt need manual input? At the LMS server end, i have edited the server prefs and removed the player associated with the wired MAC address, but this didnt change anything at the player end.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] ANNOUNCE: piCorePlayer 5.0.0
Hi pcp team Im running LMS on picoreplayer on a Pi3B with all my music files on my NAS. I have used the option to move the slimserver files onto the NAS, which works fine most of the time. Occasionally, first thing in the morning, LMS seems to lock up - the pcp home page responds OK , saying LMS is running. pcp:9000 displays an outline LMS home page but with no content on either the left or right hand pane. I suspect that the NAS drive has gone to sleep overnight and LMS cant cope with this. I cant see any problem reported in the logs though. A restart of LMS fixes the issue. Whats the best place for these slimserver files? SD card - does LMS do many writes and potentially wear the card out? NAS - as Im using at the moment USB stick - or does this suffer the same as the SD card Also, in the past, with LMS running on a linux box, I always had problems after a power cut (we get lots of these where I live). LMS started before the NAS and the music files were not available. Once the NAS was up, I had to "sudo mount -a" to get it running. Am I likely to have problems like this with LMS on picoreplayer too?

[SlimDevices: Unix] AlienBBC cant find Mplayer
Hi folks I'm fed up of regular problems running SC on Vista (Vista problems not SC, lock ups/crashes etc), so Ive setup a server running Ubuntu 9.04 and SC 7.3.2. All the basic functions work fine, but now I've added some plugins including AlienBBC, which complains that mplayer is missing. I've installed mplayer, but SC still complains. How do I ensure SC can find mplayer?

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Really straightforward Linux question
Hi Brad That works for me, thanks. And I've learnt quite a lot about Linux in the process. SC is now scanning my whole library, and I'm already pleased with the responsiveness of SC on my Linux laptop, compared to my (more powerful) Vista desktop. I'll also keep looking to see if I can avoid the umount/mount sequence to change the mask.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Really straightforward Linux question
I tried the chmod (both with and without sudo). It appeared to run OK, and shook the disk for a while, but did not change the permissions. There are still no r or x permissions for group or other. I also tried to set the permissions from within the GUI file browser and again it apeared to work, but the permission was not changed. After a bit of googling, I ran mount -t vfat to see how the drive was mounted. This reported: /dev/sdc1 on /media/My Book type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal, shortname=mixed,uid=1000,utf8,umask=077,flush) I think the umask=077 is the problem, and stops me setting the required permissions. Linux mounts the usb drive automatically. I suppose I could unmount and then remount the drive with a different umask, but it would be preferable if I could change the 077 deafult used by the system. Can this be done?

[SlimDevices: Unix] Really straightforward Linux question
I have just taken my first faltering steps down the Linux road, hoping that I can have a more reliable and simpler system for running Squeezecenter than Vista. To experiment a little, I've loaded Ubuntu and Squeezecenter onto a spare laptop. I've put a copy of all my music files onto an external USB drive, and have started Squeezecenter. How do I tell SC that my music files are on a USB drive known as My Book. I can see all these music files in the Ubuntu file browser, but I cant work out how to specify this path to SC. The SC Settings wizard shows me all the folders on the filesystem. I'm sure this is very straightforward Unix stuff so I'd appreciate some help Regards Nigel -- NigelC NigelC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2101 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57935 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Really straightforward Linux question
the df -h confirms that the drive is at /media/My Book as Mark suggested I can browse the drive either from this path or simply from My Book. I have also copied a couple of folders and files off the USB drive into home/nigel/music which I can also browse. However, SC cannot see any of the files - neither in /media nor in home/nigel/music Might this be a permissions issue? -- NigelC NigelC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2101 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57935 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Specifying a directory in Ubuntu
Hi Dave I'm in exactly the same position- Im trying Ubuntu for the first time, after years of Windows. Ive downloaded Slimserver 6.5.3, which is running (I can see the web interface). I can't persuade SS to scan my files, wich are located on an external USB drive. The first problem was getting the case correct, /media/My Book is not the same as /media/my book Having fixed that, and checked the SS logs , there is now an access permissions issue. Anyone know how to give SS the right permissions?
