Well, even if I'm the only one in the whole world suffering from this
problem, if a question has been asked in public, it needs to be answered
in public. So here's my answer. For some reason the cachedir is not
being picked up from the preferences correctly. Instead it is returning
as null. I'm not sufficiently familiar with the code to fix it
properly, so here's a nasty bodge, which I applied at
/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/Slim/Utils/DbCache.pm:26
Code:
--------------------
if ( !defined $args->{root} ) {
require Slim::Utils::Prefs;
# sjg crass bodge to work-around degenerate cachedir:
#$args->{root} =
Slim::Utils::Prefs::preferences('server')->get('cachedir');
$args->{root} = "/var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache";
--------------------
I'm still interested in a proper solution, but at least I'm listening to
my music again.
cheers,
Simon
PS: In case anyone more knowledgeable is interested in pursuing this,
here's the script I used to hand-start the server (assembled by
stealiing from the systemd unit file)
Code:
--------------------
#!/bin/sh
export SQUEEZEBOX_USER="squeezeboxserver"
export SQUEEZEBOX_HOME="/usr/libexec"
export SQUEEZEBOX_CFG_DIR="/var/lib/squeezeboxserver/prefs"
export SQUEEZEBOX_LOG_DIR="/var/log/squeezeboxserver"
export SQUEEZEBOX_CACHE_DIR="/var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache"
export SQUEEZEBOX_CHARSET="utf8"
export SQUEEZEBOX_PID_FILE="/var/run/squeezeboxserver/squeezeboxserver.pid"
export SQUEEZEBOX_OPTIONS="--localfile"
sudo -u squeezeboxserver /usr/libexec/squeezeboxserver\
--pidfile=${SQUEEZEBOX_PID_FILE}\
--cachedir=${SQUEEZEBOX_CACHE_DIR}\
--prefsdir=${SQUEEZEBOX_CFG_DIR}\
--logdir=${SQUEEZEBOX_LOG_DIR}\
--charset=${SQUEEZEBOX_CHARSET}\
${SQUEEZEBOX_OPTIONS}
--------------------
And I can't see anything wrong with how the cachedir is being passed in.
