This is my first time setting up LMS on one of my players. When I try to
enable the exFAT I get this message:

I'm using picoreplayer8.1.0 32 bit. I tried to format my usb stick as
NTFS but LMS couldn't find any of my files. All my media is on a windows
machine and I couldn't figure out how to mount an Ext4 in windows in
order to copy the files over.

Thanks for looking into it.  A couple power switches avoids the

I’ve noticed  a problem that just cropped up. I’m running picoreplayer
8.00 and lms 8.2.0 (windows).  Two of my players are being confused by
LMS.  They switch back and forth on the sever.  Music will play but then
stops after a song.  One of the players is remote and the other is
located on my home network.  I’ve attached a short video of the behavior
I’m not sure how to troubleshoot.

I use one my pi's from work to access my LMS server at home (running on
a dedicated windows machine). Since I don't have network access at work
I have to configure the player at home. I just noticed the strange
behavior when trying to setup a new player.  Thanks for the feedback.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: piCorePlayer 3.5.0

2018-04-15 Thread jbraveman

I have multiple pi's running picoreplayer 3.2 and have had this problem
in the past. I'm currently trying to setup a new pi3 model B with a
Hifiberry DAC+ with a 5v 2.5A power adapter (canakit). LMS is running on
a dedicated windows 10 machine and player is connected via ethernet.
After I flash the microSD card with 3.5 (and I've tried 3.22 and 3.2) I
am able to access the GUI and change to the hifiberry dac as audio. The
player reboots quickly. After I change the settings in squeezelite --
changing the name of the player and putting in the lms address, I can no
longer get back into the gui after a reboot or restart.  I should say
the sometimes the pages do load, but it takes 5-10 minutes or longer. I
have unplugged and replugged the device. The player is visible on LMS
and does play music. I have tried to access the setup menu via putty.
When I type in the picoreplayer command after logging in I get the error
message "tc@piCorePlayer:~$ -sh: picoreplayer: not found".

Any idea why this is happening? Last time I think it was related to a
weak power adapter.
How do I access the setup options via SSH?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: piCorePlayer 2.00

2016-05-28 Thread jbraveman

I have 3 players and only one has this problem.
It is a Raspberry pi 2 running picoreplayer 2.05.  It had this problem
on previous versions of picoreplayer.  I'm not using it as a server. It
is connected to the server via ethernet. I'm using the hifiberry digi+
for audio output. The device performs great for the most part.  However,
on occasion it will stop playing suddenly.  The device then is not
reachable on the network via it's ip address. It also disappears from
the LMS menu. I'm running Logitech Media Server Version: 7.9.0 -
1436858598 @ Wed Jul 15 04:04:13 CUT 2015 on a Windows 7 machine.

Can someone direct me to a log file that might show me where the problem
is.  I also don't have logging turned on.  I'm not sure what level of
logging is needed to sort this problem out.  Thanks.

There is a message on the actual player video output display that says :
crond[565] time disparity.detected.
Will an error pop up here as well if it crashes?  I don't usually have
it hooked up to a monitor.
Thanks!

[SlimDevices: Unix] 24 bit flacs not playing

I upgraded my server to a 4gig AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000 Brisbane 2.6GHz

album to play the player cycles through the songs without any output. 
Everything else plays fine.  Squeezecenter performances is otherwise
excellent.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Album view broken

2009-07-03 Thread jbraveman

I downgraded to ubuntu 8.04.2 LTS to fix this problem.  After an initial
scan the album view was fine.  I made some changes to the settings
including interface: show artists with albums (enabled) and show year
with albums (enabled).  Suddenly the album view was now broken.  I've
switched back the artists option and am rescanning.

Do I have a bad artist tag somewhere that's breaking this view?  The
scanner log doesn't show it.  Where else can I look?  I've got a large
84k library.  Any ideas?

[SlimDevices: Unix] Album view broken

2009-06-06 Thread jbraveman

I am using a Squeezebox duet and recently I can not view the albums
listing in the web gui.  All other items display fine.  When I try the
album view in the web gui after about 3 mins the browser stops and the
left pane disappears (see attachment).  The album view IS available on
the duet controller.  I know that the album view worked on my older
server, a dell gx-50/8.04.  This may be a new change since I upgraded
the server and moved to 9.04.  Everything else works.  Music plays and
the other menu items are fine.

I have been running 9.04 on a via epai cn board with 1 gig of ram for a
couple weeks now with no issues.  Everything is wired to linksys router.
Music is on freenas and shares are mounted with cifs.

SqueezeCenter Status
Version: 7.3.3 - 26751 @ Sat Jun 6 03:13:22 PDT 2009

Total Tracks: 82,323
Total Albums: 4,976
Total Artists: 1,041


I did some updates on this machine (including squeezecenter) and
rebooted - didn't help.  Restarted the player by cycling the power. 
Also didn't help.

While web gui is waiting, the duet loses it's connection to the player.
Once the process stops, the controller finds the player again. The
failed web gui access has been through a laptop running vista and also
the machine hosting squeezecenter.  Both are using firefox.

Any thoughts?

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Setting up squeezecenter in Ubuntu 8.1

2009-01-03 Thread jbraveman

I'd like to thank everyone for their suggestions.  Being an linux newbie
this process was slightly painful.  Fortunately, I've got everything up
and running.

I went back and did a fresh install of 8.04. My rationale is that most
of the documentation on the web is geared toward this version.  I
immediately installed all of the updates.

I used these instructions to mount my freenas shares:
http://thatsquality.com/linux/mounting-windows-smb-file-shares-using-cifs

The wiki on this topic is about the same, but difficult for me to
understand.

Using the file browser I right clicked on these newly mounted shares
and was able to create working symlinks, which I copied to my music
folder.

I installed squeezecenter with these instructions:
http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/DebianPackage

I used the testing main option and 7.3.2 (24460) got installed.  It ran
and played music perfectly.  Scanned all of my files (about 32k).  Even
my 24/96 flacs played.


The only residual issue is that the machine hangs when it restarts. 
Apparently this is a known issue with unmounting of the cifs volumes.

I setup desktop remote and can get in with VNC from my vista lappy. 
The squeezecenter menu is available also through port 9000.

The last step is to unplug the montior and keyboard and tuck it away. 
I'm a little nervous it will stop working after I move it.  There is
also a squeezecenter update waiting to be downloaded.  I'm not sure I
will until something stops working.

The squeezebox is better than I expected and this process has been
totally worth it.

This is a good suggestion.  I hope it's the mounts and not SC,
otherwise I have a bigger problem.

It actually did start.  However, the browser kept timing out and I
wiped it clean and tried 7.3.1.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Setting up squeezecenter in Ubuntu 8.1

2009-01-02 Thread jbraveman

Thanks for the help.

Links were created sucessfully but I'm not sure they work. 
Squeezecenter doesn't scan them.  When I click on the link it itinally
says that the link is broken, but then says it's opening.  It never
opens, but just hangs.

The file browser is broken again and doesn't see the other network
computers.  However, I am able to bring up the freenas drives using the
connect to server function.

I had trouble connecting to to squeezecenter and was getting browser
time outs and page not found errors.  I did a clean install as per the
instructions on the debian wiki page and that seemed to help that
problem.

I'm thinking about starting over with a fresh install of 8.1 and
figuring out another way to map the freenas drives.  I'm guessing the
links are broken because the drives are not mounted properly.  

What would be the best way to mount the freenas drives in Ubuntu 8.1?
CIFS? NFS?

Thanks.

Thanks.

I'm still tyring to figure out the file structure here.  What am I
doing wrong?

sudo ln -s smb://freenas/disk1/Music A-G
/Filesystem/home/joshua/music/MusicAG
ln: target `/Filesystem/home/joshua/music/MusicAG' is not a directory


I'd like to put a symbolic link of the contents of that folder in my
music directory.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Setting up squeezecenter in Ubuntu 8.1

2009-01-01 Thread jbraveman

After updating some packages, the debian package installed squeezecenter
without difficulty.  The file browser now shows my windows shares.  The
moral of the story is to always update the os before proceeding.

My next problem is how do I create shortcuts to the folders with my
music on my freenas.  I have three different shares with folders of
music.  Squeezecenter wants 1 folder to look in for music.  When I ran
SC in windows, I just made shortcuts from my folders.  What do I do
here?

thx

I think this fixes the mounting problem:

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Setting up squeezecenter in Ubuntu 8.1

2009-01-01 Thread jbraveman

I did this:

First, let's create the mount folder. You will need a separate folder
for each mount.

sudo mkdir /media/mountname

Then edit your /etc/fstab file (you need root privileges) to add this
line:

//servername/sharename  /media/mountname  cifs 
guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode  0  0

Where

*
guest indicates you don't need a password to access the share,
*

uid=1000 makes the Linux-user with specified uid or username
owner of the mounted share, thereby allowing that user to rename
files,
*

the combination iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode allows
access to files with names in non-English languages. This doesn't work
with shares of devices like the Buffalo Tera Station, or Windows
machines that export their shares using ISO8895-15. With these the
codepage argument has to be codepage=cp850, otherwise characters like
the German 'Umlaute' are displayed as garbage. 

After you added the entry to /etc/fstab type:

sudo mount -a

I got this:

jos...@dell-desktop:~$ sudo mount -a
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on
//192.168.1.250/Disk1,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
(for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might
need a /sbin/mount. helper program)
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail  or so


Specific instructions for the freenas would be most appreciated.

thx.

Thanks
1) I downloaded and clicked on the package.  I will try the other
method.
2) sudo apt-get install smbfs - ...Package smbfs is not available.

that's the first instruction for most of these guides.  It would seem
that smbfs is defunct.  the freenas can use cifs or nfs as well.  There
are some additional instructions for cifs which I will try next.

thanks for the suggestions.

[SlimDevices: Unix] Setting up squeezecenter in Ubuntu 8.1

2009-01-01 Thread jbraveman

Yesterday I installed Ubunutu 8.1 desktop on a dell GX50 (Celeron
1.2/256mb/20gig).  That all went well.  I gave the machine a static ip
(192.168.1.249) on my network (liksys wrt54g).  It connects to the
internet.

I installed the debian package of 7.3.2 and got this error - Dependency
is not satisfiable:mysql-server4.1|mysql-server5.0

1) How do I update this program?

2) All my music is stored on a freenas (0.69RC2 Kralizec (revision
4083)).  I can connect to those drives with my vista laptop
(CIFS/SMB)easily.  When I browse the windows network with the file
browser in ubuntu - I cannot see any of the other machines on the
network.  How to I mount these drives in ubuntu so that squeezecenter
can see them once that process is successfully started.

Thanks in advance.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Can I use Linux, and which one?

2008-12-30 Thread jbraveman

Thanks for the suggestions.  I've decided to leave the freenas as is for
now.  I bought a used Dell GX50 for $35 and I will put ubuntu on it with
squeezecenter.  I think I can figure out how to access the desktop
remotely so that I can adjust the squeezecenter settings as needed.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Can I use Linux, and which one?

2008-12-28 Thread jbraveman

I built a box with new, but inexpensive equipment to run freenas with
the idea of running squeezecenter on that.  Unfortunately I've found
out that slimnas and the current AMD versions of freenas don't work. 
My new hardware is not supported by the older versions of freenas.  My
other thought was to install ubuntu or something like it on this
machine instead.  I don't have any linux experience however.  How
difficult would it be for me to change over?  

The machine has an AMD64 X2 processor, 2 g of ram, and 3 1 TB SATA
drives.  I'm running freenas off a usb thumb drive.
Things I'd like to do: 
1) run it headless
2) run squeeze center
3) bittorrent functions
4) share the drives with my windows and mac machines
5) the drives are formatted as UFS.  Would I have to start over?

Thanks.
