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. I have uninstalled the existing Squeezeplay version and downloaded squeezeplay-pulse_7.8.0~996_amd64.deb from https://sourceforge.net/projects/lmsclients/files/squeezeplay/linux/ Unfortunately I appear to be going backwards, as having followed the installation instructions I cannot even get the Squeezeplay GUI program to launch. I suspect, being new to Linux, this will be down to my incompetence, but I wonder if you can spot where I have made an error ? I have followed the instructions in the README file and on the basis I have a x64 system casper@ghost ~/Downloads/PulseAudio $ sudo dpkg -i squeezeplay-pulse_7.8.0~996_amd64.deb Selecting previously unselected package squeezeplay.
