Firstly, I am amazed by the support and helpfulness of this community. It shows me two things: 1. There are genuinely selfless helpful people in the world 2. Things are tricky when you move away from the world of the appliance, e.g. the dedicated FM radio set!
My set up is probably not a whole lot different to many others here, -viz:- * a local LMS running on an ARM-based Sheezaplug, with the Squeezeplug image running on it. This is based on a Debian fork of Linux * a couple of Duet receivers * a Joggler running SqueezeOS, also, I think, Debian under the bonnet I have tried to follow the bpa/triode instructions to install the helper plugin and ffmpeg, but things aren't working for me. I feel the problems mainly lie in knowing exactly where to stash things like ffmpeg, and whether or not I have done enough to enable it. Bear in mind I'm not clueless, but at the same time I'm no expert, particularly at Linux, and I really don't *want* to be, although I'm picking stuff up as I go along. I used 'apt-get install ffmpeg' to get a binary downloaded, it appears to be quite a small file but regardless, I don't know where to put it so that the plugin works, nor do I know if it needs a chmod or similar to make it work from the context of the LMS process. I had a good old tootle around the Internet... Nowhere could I find where a Squeezeplug installation stashes its executables. I have the bpa plugin installed (I think). It *looks* like I do when examining the LMS web interface. I suppose what I am asking for is a simple list of places to go to put things. If there were also a handy guide to tell me where I could go to look at logs or similar to see if the various components are 'registered' (or whatever the Linux equivalent is), that would be dead helpful. I am now going to bed, and hoping that someone will have mercy on me and have an idiot's guide, possibly with a Sticky, by the morning!
