Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Squeezeplay and Linux Mint 18.2 - streams drops, program crashes
I hope I will be forgiven for following up my own post, but I thought I would (in case anyone searching every comes across this thread) to advise the problem with Squeezeplayer crashing on my Mint install has been resolved. Following issues with the sound configuration on my Mint 18.2 install (mentioned in my previous post) I decided to install a fresh copy of Linux Mint 18.2 Having installed the Pulse Audio version provided by Ralphy (squeezeplay-pulse_7.8.0~996_amd64.deb ) it is now working flawlessly and I am one happy bunny.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Squeezeplay and Linux Mint 18.2 - streams drops, program crashes
Hello Ralphy. Many thanks again for your response. I have removed the package as per your instructions and then reinstalled. Regrettably it would appear that the Pulse package is not compatable with Mint as it failed to run as shown by console output at the foot of this post. Building from source is beyond my Linux technical capabilities at present. More worryingly I appear to have lost sound output on my box - local music files whilst apparently running in the default music player produce no sound Obviously I have messed up somewhere along the way. Anyway that's not your concern - thanks for your help in getting me this far.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Squeezeplay and Linux Mint 18.2 - streams drops, program crashes
Unfortunately, those additional instructions on the download page are for the standard alsa version and an not required for the pulseaudio version. Start by removing squeezplay sudo apt-get purge squeezeplay cd /opt sudo rm -rf squeezeplay The rm command may fail and that's okay. Revert any changes you made to ld.config and well as any other files you might have changed trying to get the alsa version to work then reboot. Reinstall sudo dpkg -i squeezeplay-pulse_7.8.0~996_amd64.deb Then open a terminal and run /opt/squeezeplay/bin/squeezeplay.sh Do not prefix with sudo. Do you still have the same problem? If yes, then it's likely that the debian 8 build doesn't work with mint and you'll need to build from source.

Ralphy Thanks for the response.

[SlimDevices: Unix] Squeezeplay and Linux Mint 18.2 - streams drops, program crashes
Would appreciate some assistance :-) I am experiencing problems with running squeezeplay_7.8.0~984_amd64.deb on Linux Mint 18.2 Sonya. LMS (7.9.0-164) is hosted on a Synology NAS (DSM 6.1.3-15152 Update 1) on the local network When it works, squeezeplay is excellent, but unfortunately when streaming from various sources the stream frequently drops. There is no obvious pattern. The program GUI can load normally and play fine (even hours) and other times the GUI manipulated streams will fail to start. This occurs irrespective of whether the sound source is local to the NAS eg ripped CD or say a BBC radio stream using BBC iPlayer plugin (1.5.4.4) with stream preferences set to DASH->HLS->MP3->FlashAAC. Normally once the stream has ceased or fails to start any attempt to manipulate squeezeplay via its GUI results in the GUI disappearing (I assume this means the program has itself crashed). If the GUI is launched via a console session this is repeated (the console window also disappears) I have poked around in the Syslog file and a couple of specimen entries at the time of crashes which might be relevant are shown below (see "portion of SysLog file" below. I can make my full SysLog file available on request. I appreciate that is this is all very general and as I am very new to Linux, I wonder if anyone might give me some general guidance of how best to adopt a more structured approach to try and narrow down what might be causing the problem. For example are there any log files I can enable or other areas that I should be looking ?
