Hello Simone,

Thank you for the additional clarification.

I am going to reach out to titou386, and see if I can get him to produce
a better plug-in package for TrueNAS.  I totally agree that it should
not fall to you to create such a one-off.

I had originally believed that titou386 had been following your build
instructions to build and package logitechmediaserver.

Since you say:

> he seems to also take a lot of perl modules that are already included in
> the LMS installation (slimserver-vendor repository) and the generic
> binaries for transcoding instead of compiling them statically linked
> with the options currently used for LMS. (again, available on the
> slimserver-vendor repository).

He must have made his own path through the maze.

Am I understanding that comment and your instructions correctly if I
were to say to titou386:

  
- You need to bring in the CPAN subdirectory from
  https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver-vendor instead of using generic
  Perl packages because there are dependencies that will make
  logitechmediaserver quit working if you update Perl.
- You need to bring in, compile, and statically link particular local
  versions of helper utilities and libraries, also from
  https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver-vendor. To wit: flac, faad,
  wavpack. The known good compile/link options can be found at
  https://audiodigitale.eu/?p=87
  

Note that your build from source instructions refer to:
https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver-vendor/archive/public/...

There is no longer an "archive" subdirectory of slimserver-vendor, and
the faad tree there has a README that sends people to
https://github.com/ralph-irving/faad2

Stuff is starting to spread out, and it is a growing challenge to chase
down to the correct canonical versions.

Indeed, as I'm composing this reply and requesting a sanity check I see
that https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver-vendor contains
alac_decoder, shine, and sox in addition to the trees you call for in
your instructions. 

Do we still need the forked versions of shine and sox?

Is alac_decoder deprecated in favor of the fork of faad2, or is it a
stand-alone transcode utility that obviates need for the forked faad?

If you can answer these questions, that would be great, but if you
can't, I understand.
