On my Debian Jessie box changing the entry in
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/squeezecenter.list to point to the "unstable"
branch got me LMS 7.8.1 which installed and ran first time, which is
great. Thanks to everyone on this thread. Questions-
- No mention of the 7.9.x branch in Synaptic Package Manager ?
- The package description text that displays in Synaptic doesn't
mention the close coupling the system has to the OS's Perl version. As
getting it wrong silently breaks LMS it would be good to see this
mentioned!
- If the 7.x.x versions of LMS are dependent on specific versions of
Perl is it not possible to have this dependency described in the
package definition? I thought that was the added-vaue that packaging
systems like apt gave you, or is that a naive view?
BTW, a message for the maintainer(s) of Logitech Media Centre-
The reason I logged back into these forums after 5 years (!) was that
LMS and my Squeezebox Duet are a part of our daily lives. I rip every CD
I buy to FLAC, save it on our home server, and play the music through
the Duet Hi-Fi amp.
Aside from a few niggles like tagging funnies and the slow wakeup time
of the Duet remote it's one those rare bits of technology that "just
works", extremely well.
Like a lot of customers I was very sad to see Logitech kill off the
"local network" product line, and I've yet to find a product that does
the same as well, let alone better.
So I appreciate the efforts that are being made to keep LMS alive and
updated. We wouldn't shout so loud when it broke if it wasn't such a
great little product ;-)
