plugin for Logitech Media Server (formerly Squeezebox Server)

Krasny,

This works only for "normal users". I have not been able to modify "root" with charset other than default "C"...

Anyone already tested this plugin on the latest version of FreeNAS 8.3.0? I am currently planning to buy a server to run FreeNAS on it and it would be great to be able to feed my Transporter with LMS from the new NAS.

I'm still on 8.2.0-RC1... i hesitate to upgrade because i have a working but highly customized jail, and i'm afraid i have to do everything again if i upgrade!

Oh, and i noticed a few days ago that my Receiver couldn't play any 24/192 FLAC.
Problem was sox isn't provided in the Logitech LMS package.
You have to install it in the jail yourself :

Code:

cd /usr/ports/audio/sox/ && make install clean

No need to restart anything :)

Working OK for me on 8.3.0

Hi There,

I am having issues with LMS in an 8.3 based Jail.
Not 100% sure what my root issue is because my Perl installation in the Jail is a bit clunky.

Code:

The following modules failed to load: Time::HiRes DBI XML::Parser::Expat Digest::SHA1 Sub::Name

I tried to recompile the CPAN but I face other gcc version issues.
Any idea what is going on ?

Thanks
H

Probably a problem with your PERL config.
You should try to reinstall it in 5.14

Just wanted to thank you for the install script. Installed on a clean jail in FreeNAS 8.3.1-RC, simply by following the original instructions. I did not need to un/reinstall or upgrade any packages. Thanks for getting my music server up and running again!

 

[djoole]

Nice to hear it :)

Installed on 8.3.0-p1 originally, now upgraded to 8.3.1 release and no issues.

Although, I have separate FS that I mount into jails /usr/local/lms that I unmount before upgrade, as per all things running in jail (MySQL, transmission).

My LMS is "Logitech Media Server Version: 7.8.0 - 1353679004 @ Mon Dec 10 04:44:19 MST 2012" and I have not upgraded it ever since last December.

Thank You djoole :D This works flawlessly for me, I love it. I am on 8.3.1 and it installed/ran without any issues. I have a mix of flac,mp3,m4a and all seem to be working.

Thanks again.

Thanks djoole, installed this yesterday on 8.3.1 64-bit running on AMD A4-5300 with 8GB. I was able to point my Squeezebox Boom to the server and all seems to be well. Nice work!

Hi All

Has anyone had any luck in getting djoole's LMS plugin working on FreeNAS 9.1? I've upgraded my NAS to 9.1, created a plugins jail, and run the LMS installation procedure which worked flawlessly on FreeNAS 8.3.1. However, on 9.1 the installation appears to work, but LMS does not run. Here are the error logs I see when I try to start it manually:

root@lms:/lms-freenas-amd64-7.8.0-1342011222 # sh
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/lms onestart
mkdir: /var/run/lms: File exists
Starting lms.
The following CPAN modules were found but cannot work with Logitech
Media Server:
Audio::Scan:
Can't load '/usr/local/lms/CPAN/arch/5.14/amd64-freebsd/auto/Audio/Scan/Scan.so'
for module Audio::Scan: Shared object "libz.so.5" not found, required

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 45) line 2.

Image::Scale:

190.
at (eval 101) line 2
Compilation failed in require at (eval 101) line 2.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 101) line 2.


To fix this problem you have several options:
1. Install the latest version of the module(s) using CPAN: sudo cpan
Some::Module
2. Update the module's package using apt-get, yum, etc.
3. Run the .tar.gz version of Logitech Media Server which includes all
required CPAN modules.

Any ideas on this would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

How did you install LMS?

How did you install LMS?

Hi - I just logged-in to the Jail by first SSH'ing into the FreeNAS, then using jexec to connect to the jail. Then I uncompressed djoole's LMS package, and ran ./installme.sh. It appears to install fine on a plugins jail, but the server fails to run due to the CPAN issues.

Thanks.

 

[William Grzybowski]

Sure it won't work then, It was compiled for FreeBSD 8.X, the jail is FreeBSD 9.1.

It needs to be recompiled.

 

[unholyeyebrows]

Thanks William - that makes sense. I've messaged djoole just in case he may be willing / able to re-compile his package for 9.1.

 

[dlavigne]

Just a note about CPAN. In FreeBSD it is preferable to instead install the equivalent package (which will start with p5-) so that you can keep track of what is installed, especially if you plan to keep installed packages up-to-date.

In this case, the missing packages are p5-Audio-Scan and p5-Image-Scale.

 

[djoole]

Hey there,
I don't remember why, but the only option that i found working at the time, was compile myself CPAN libraries.
Packages didn't work.

And to answer your request, unholyeyebrows, I'm sorry but i'm still under 8.something (i need to upgrade to the latest stable ^^ ), and i'm not planning on upgrading to 9.x on my NAS (too many stuff i don't want to loose) unless it's rock stable.
Maybe you can compile the binarie yourself and post them in the topic?

 

[unholyeyebrows]

Many thanks guys. I'm considering migrating back to my old Synology Diskstation for a simpler life, but will explore options on the 9.1 FreeNAS just in case I can contribute towards a solution here.
