Help with installing Logitech media server in Jail

[biggyk]

Yes, I did install that perl SSL pkg on a warden jail in FreeNAS 11.1-U1. Attempting to install the LMS port throws up a "ALLOW_UNSUPPORTED_SYSTEM" due to kernel and user environment being out of step in warden.

Code:

root@LMSjail:/ # uname -K
1101505
root@LMSjail:/ # uname -U
1100122

I added "ALLOW_UNSUPPORTED_SYSTEM=yes" to the file /etc/make.conf to be able to proceed.

Although a warden jail appears to inherit the FreeNAS host locale, LMS still throws a locale error. LMS port in Warden Jail is up &

when I installed that single pkg to my lms jail, lms failed to show up in my browser. had to delete and start it again

We drifted away. I still need help for this!

@mrMuppet Arrgh! Still errors. That one is a scan failure, I think. There could be some more clues on the slimdevices forums. Are your Logitech hardware devices using wired or wireless connections? I've always stuck to wired were possible. Dropping your previous connection and swapping LMS seems to have caused a real headache.

Wierd, not seem that, but then I started from scratch under FreeNAS 11.1-U1 with both warden and iocage versions. What version of LMS was running?

7.9.1...i was outside for a bit after installing. came back in and realized the Media players wernt recognized that when I noticed lms was loading anymore

So LMS 7.9.1 was running in warden, installing that perl SSL pkg caused LMS to stop, but it's OK after a service restart, it that right?

 

[mrMuppet]

I've just built two versions of a LMS jail using iocage . First using the logitechmediaserver port, and the second using the package (if you trust it) found by BL in that interesting link. They both work.

I don't have a touch or other logitech hardware, but I run squeezelite on RPis as my players. You don't need to set allow raw sockets (seem to remember that was necessary when using a trad jail with vnet), but did you check that LMS started without out complaining about locale and SSL? Whether you use a port or package you need to install the "p5-IO-Socket-SSL-2.051" pkg in your iocage jail and fix the jail's locale, then you get a clean LMS start.

Haven't had time to test adding plugins or various audio formats, etc. If LMS is still not picking up players (touch,etc.), perhaps check all the player settings as the LMS IP has probably changed, e.g. Extras>Music Source>name of LMS Local Server & Settings > Advanced > Networking > Remote Library > Add New Library.

I've tried squeezelite now. It is working with my server but it doesn't help to connect the other clients. I have no idea what the problem could be.

What version of LMS was running in your original warden jail?

If there's no obvious mis-configuration of your players and no real clues in the server logs, can your players work with the 7.9.1 LMS version running in the iocage jail?

Are you able to install latest LMS on another desktop/laptop( windows or linux) to test if players can work with latest 7.9.1 version?

What version of LMS was running in your original warden jail?

In the warden jail i use "Logitech Media Server Version: 7.9.1 - 1499900819 @ Mon Jul 24 04:09:37 UTC 2017".
I installed it using a very complicated tutorial.

If there's no obvious mis-configuration of your players and no real clues in the server logs, can your players work with the 7.9.1 LMS version running in the iocage jail?

The players work without problems with the "old" warden installation (link above). With the iocage installation only a squeezelite works because in can connect squeezelite to specific Servers. Standalone boxes don't gove that opportunity, they only connect via autodiscovery: "
The server listens on TCP port 3483 for connections by players. To register a player with the server, they exchange "helo"s and than any of the commands below are valid." [from: official manual to The SlimProto TCP Protocol].
The port 3483 is open when i use a portscanner with the iocage ip.

Are you able to install latest LMS on another desktop/laptop( windows or linux) to test if players can work with latest 7.9.1 version?

No i tried it with latest Windows version and my clients connect to it without problems.

 

[KrisBee]

Squeezelite can also work in "auto discovery" mode, just don't specify a server IP. If you do this and start squeezelite in debug mode you can check the squeezelite logs against both server versions to see if there's a difference. That's why I suggested "squeezelite" might help pin point the problem.

 

[KrisBee]

OK, I had completely forgotten Touch only does autodiscovery. A quick test with squeezelite connecting to LMS running in iocage jail built from ports confirms "autodiscovery" is not working:

The question is why. Need to dig deeper ...

I tried to connect the radio client by entering the ip (think i checked it 1000 times but always misses that function) and it works!

Now i made a try with autoconnect (with the working server):
Code:
[12:31:28.927] discover_server:826 sending discovery
[12:31:28.927] discover_server:837 got response from: 192.168.178.156:3483

And the iocage server:
Code:

[12:37:10.113] _output_frames:114 avail: 1136 frames: 1136 silence: 1
And i checked the server's logfile in this moment. And there are no entries at 12:37:...

Its ok for me to use my players with the manual ip (without autoconnect) but it wouldnt bad to find out what blocks the autodiscovery.

 

[mrMuppet]

ok. i didnt check touch either... :-(

 

[mrMuppet]

Now i checked the touch: It has the same mode to connect to remote server: Settings>Advanced>Networking>Remote Libraries
No problem to connect to the iocage server.
Besides this would it be nice to know whats wrong with autodiscovery.

You missed what I wrote back at #24 for your Touch. Sounds like you have your players working now. A happy ending!

Networking is the suspect here. If your were like me, you set up your warden jail with VIMAGE and the FreeNAS side of the "epair" interface runs in promiscuous mode. I setup iocage jail with simple "shared ip". I need to find time to setup iocage with vnet and see if autodiscovery works.

STOP PRESS:

I can confirm "autodiscovery" works if the iocage jail uses vnet. Apart from changing some of the iocage jail properties to do this, you will probably need to manually add your main interface the bridge used by iocage. If you want a permanent setup for vnet with iocage, then this post points the way:
