Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] What directories to back up?

2009-11-15 Thread aubuti

On a standard install of SBS 7.4.x under Ubuntu (at least with 8.10 and
9.04, I haven't tried 9.10 yet), you have the following. 

Cache Folder: /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache
Preferences Folder: /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/prefs
Plugin Folders:
/var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins,
/usr/sbin/Plugins, /usr/share/squeezeboxserver/Plugins

You should fix the protection problems that are not allowing this to work.

OK, well for some reason it is running now. Not sure why, other than a
re-boot which makes no sense to me. It still shows to be NOT running in
the services list. But I did get it to come up at localhost:9000,
something it would not do earlier. I set up my music and playlist
directories and it scanned my music. And it is playing. Don't know why.

For what it's worth, here is what I get just now running mysql:

j...@linux-51m4:~> mysql
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)

Thanks, but I cannot access the web interface since the server isn't
running. I need to reinstall it to get it running.

I need to fix the dependency problem in order to get the server
running, but I need to get the server running in order to find the
directores and fix the problem. Bit of a catch-22 there.

Well, in debian, there are lots of logs. a 7.4.* version would try to
create a squeezeboxserver.log somewhere in the /var/log tree, altho some
version put it in /tmp

on my debian system, there is a /var/log/squeezeboxserver directory
with several log files for different parts.
Of course, if the directory was protected from whatever user your
/etc/init.d script is trying to use, there won't be any tracks

If you read (or use vi) the startup script, you can usually figure out
what it is actually doing.

it probably sets up environment variables and executes
"squeezeboxserver_safe"

so you can locate or find to find that file.

in Debian, its in /usr/sbin
which is *not* in the default user path.

Sorry, it is 7.4.1-1 and 7.3.3-1 that I tried. Amazing I missed the typo.

Technically, that is an error that the stop part of the start/restart
logic didn't find anything to stop.

And if its failing that is not a particularly useful message, you know
its not running, what you want is why is it not running.

For that you need to find the logs

have you looked at or for the logs.
Depending on which version of server, it may be named squeezecenter or
squeezeboxserver

and obviously, you need to run the startup script that matches the name
you want to run.

I'm debian, not Suse, so I can't do details for you, but the move to 7.4
brought a new name and a non-trivial amount of setup/startup issues

[SlimDevices: Unix] Server won't start on openSuse 11.2

2009-11-15 Thread Jim Flanagan
Hi. I have been running squezecenter on openSuse 11.1 and previous with
minimal problems. I just upgraded my maching to openSuse 11.2 and it
won't run. I first downloaded and installed the squeezeboxserver 4.4.1-1
rpm and it installed fine. It is set up start in runlevels 3 and 5, but
it would not start. I got

/etc/init.d/squeezecenter start returned 7 (program is not running):

Thinking it may be a problem with server, I uninstalled that and
installed squeezecenter 7.3.2-1 which ran fine on oS 11.1. But I got the
same error 7.

My guess is that the startup script scheme has changed in oS 11.2, but I
don't know how to track that down. Any advice??

i don't think I can go anywhere with this on the bug front, but if you
can suggest a constructive way forward I would be grateful. I am now not
willing to test the fix because I have fixed my system and i don't fancy
starting again from scratch with kubuntu 9.10. I cannot put the time in
when the company seems totally indifferent to my efforts to get this
issue solved.

I know it is strange, but I actually care about the squeezebox and
linux. Currently new users cannot download a new version of release
kubuntu and release squeezebox server and expect it to work out of the
box. I am beginning to think there is a laissez-faire attitude to linux
creeping in. Is it a "keep out of linux unless you are an expert" or
"windows 7 is where most of our customers are so .".

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Linux support is beta only??

2009-11-15 Thread mudlark

I now have three replies which are very poor. I am not blaming the
developers because I understand that Windows 7 is the current priority.
what i am complaining about is the fact that they have given me no new
information and after long periods of time. In fact they referred me to
a bug that they said was raised by developers. This was total crap
because I raised the bug and I am not a developer. I don't expect
instant responses or to be treated as someone special, but when a
problem arises that appears to be of importance, I expect some sort of
rational approach to a request for customer service to the official
channels rather than via the Forum. I can cope with much,but sloppy
twaddle is not acceptable and I have no choice but to complain, because
otherwise how can things improve.

Finally i will say that the three devices i have bought amounting to
£1,500 I think gives me some call on a decent customer care process.

I don't know what has happened with the training of staff over in
America. bizarre in my view. When I had a problem with a previous
logitech device the customer support was great. That was from
switzerland.

That must be a misunderstanding (on his or your side - don't know). Maybe he

Well, this issue seems to be solved!
The truth lies in a somewhat badly converted wave file on the disc,
which played alright, but had a error within, possibly originated by
converting the original file with a bad parameter.
This is how I discover the problem:
In an attempt to narrow down all the possibilities and as suggested, I
deleted and converted some .wav files to .flac and while doing so the
error messages begun to pop up.
"Flac Front End", used for testing and converting, kept running so it
could not be more than some minor errors.
After this conversion there no longer are any problems with the scan.
So after weeks of confusion and frustration I can take this day off and
enjoy the music.
thanks for your attention..

back up before uninstalling in order to keep everything as is?

(I'm not talking about my music library directory, of course.)

Thanks in advance!

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] BrutefirDRC version 1.1.1 for Squeezeboxcenter 7.4.0 released

2009-11-15 Thread Klaas

Maybe you can make your stab on the problem and make a proposal how the
wrapper handles the files. In the end of the day we only need to use sox
with different parameters to get the output as desired. The
brutefirwrapper script is the most difficult part so you should make the
decision how this can be handled properly :)

The only potential issue I have in mind is the handling of the 24bit
stuff. Most flac are using only 16bit, I have no idea if the conversion
does not introduce any quality loss/change, as it is the case with
resampling. I am not this much into all this bit and sample rate stuff,
so I cannot really tell.

GIT is not as easy as I would have liked to begin with, only to warn
you...

I suggest brutefirwrapper always use 24 bits for input and output. That
means that the decoder for the input file type would need to normalise
to 24 bits (by zero padding 16 sources), so we also probably need to
change decoders for all input file types to use sox rather than "flac
-d" etc.

Yes, we definitely dont want to be performing sample rate conversion on
the audio stream in brutefirdrc.

Ive not used git before, but now seems like a good time to learn.

[SlimDevices: Unix] Linux support is beta only??

2009-11-15 Thread mudlark

I have recently made my first request fro support from Logitech and
after receiving little help I have now been told that support for linux
is beta.

Personally i describe myself as a reasonably knowledgeable punter and I
am very much on the edge of developer world. The issue that I raised
with logitech was about a fundamental issue for quite a large number of
linux users. (I would guess).

I have received some help but I find the Logitech view seems to imply
that I cannot expect any reasonable answer because they only give beta
support a bit rich to the volunteer community.

Hi Mike,

Linux is only supported in a beta level. Presently the issue is
resolved in our nightly dev build (7.4.2). If you install
mysql-server-5.1 before you install Squeezebox Server 7.4.2 it should be
able to install without any issues. You can download the nightly .deb
file here http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/?ver=7.4

Regards,

Trevor F.
Logitech Squeezebox Tier 2

In regard to the above post which is a quote from the last load from
support, I can state that the issue is not resolved. If it is resolved I
would be rather grateful if Trevor would give me the evidence. The fact
that my bug has been closed doesn't mean the matter has been resolved.

As you can probably work out I am very disappointed about the response
from Logitech. How do you feel about this issue?

Mike.

thats quite a good idea!! so we would only need to convert all input to
wav this should be possible without problems.

A few questions:
1. would brutefirwrapper handle the different bitrates, i.e. 16bit and
24bit wav files?
2. would brutefirwrapper use the same sampling rate for in and output
(would be needed to get the squeezeboxserver resample support working)?

Source Repository:
I switched to use GIT for development, because I have a few ruby
projects on github and wanted to use the same version control system.
Sourceforge does not hold the SVN and GIT Repos in sync so I deleted the
SVN repository. I hope this is no problem? I can check in the stuff if
it would help you?
