Hi. I am running Ubuntu 8.04 LTS and SC 7.3. The software seemed to install OK and I was able to open a Firefox browser window using the http:// address for the machine on which Squeezecenter is installed. I do not have a player and just want to use Squeezecenter as my GUI across a network with several computers.
Squeezecenter successfully scanned all my music (from the folder /media/music1/music1) into its database - but, I can't play any songs on any machine. I can pull up artist information - the number of CDs and songs are listed but when I click on the buttons to either play a song or add it to the playlist, nothing happens. I have installed the current Java version (6-11) on the computer and made sure it works. The only thing I can think of is that "root" is the only user who has permissions on the /media/music1/music1 folder. I have attempted to change the permissions using sudo chmod 777 /media/music1/music1 but nothing seems to change. Which is strange, because I have copied music to this folder from various other computers over my network - but apparently now that directory/folder is locked. I can see that if there isn't universal read capability from that folder that this might be the problem. I am going to restart the computer and see if I can change the permissions then. Meanwhile, if anyone has any ideas, please let me know. I at one time used what was then called Slimserver software with Red Hat FC4 - yes it was awhile ago - and it worked flawlessly. Ever since I have attempted to use the software with any version of Ubuntu I have had nothing but problems and have never been able to get the software to work. Thanks and happy holidays. -- gmachine_24 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gmachine_24's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3999 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57097 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
