plugin for Logitech Media Server (formerly Squeezebox Server)

[Z300M]

I now have Logitech Media Server installed and running in FreeNAS 9.1.1-RELEASE-x64, and everything is fine -- EXCEPT that I have duplicate Track entries for every album in my music collection. On the Logitech forum someone claims that this can be fixed by editing the file <dir>/Slim/Utils/Scanner/Local.pm -- but I can find nothing remotely resembling this path, and I can find no Local.pm file anywhere. Perhaps that is the appropriate file on a Windows system, but is there a differently named corresponding file in the FreeNAS implementation?

Code:

root@lms:/usr/home/ts # find / -name Local.pm
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.14/Time/Local.pm
/usr/local/logitechmediaserver-7.8.0-1349191090-FreeBSD/Slim/Utils/Scanner/Local.pm
root@lms:/usr/home/ts #

I would suggest to edit the latter file... ;)
But I don't have this problem so unfortunately I can't help you with your actual problem...

I found the file and made the changes suggested on the Logitech forum, but the Track names are still duplicated.

It's only since I updated FreeNAS to 9.1.1 and reinstalled LMS that this problem has shown up.

 

[Tom7320]

Hm. As I said I don't have the problem so far. Maybe you should ask in the Logitech forum again since I'm not really a LMS expert....

Good luck and have a nice weekend!

So, any chance you might be able to get this updated to a FreeNAS 9.1.1 PBI so we can put it on the server as a one-click install? :)

Thanks!

This would be GREATLY appreciated. My media server just died and I am rebuilding it with FREENAS. Unfortunately, I haven't learned enough about FREENAS do do anything other than click on a pbi file!

Have you read my thread here, It may be helpful to you. Otherwise if the plugin is working then there is probably some problem with the lms database and you will need to ask at the lms forums.

Thank you. I am taking a look at it now. I will also be setting up Subsonic, so I will be looking for your how-to on that if it exists!

I am fighting a steep learning curve here as my family wants this up and running again as soon as possible!

PS: I also installed sox and lame, but it should also work without....

How did you install lame? Package seems not to exist for BSD.

 

[dlavigne]

It looks like there isn't a package for patent reasons, however one could compile the port: http://www.freshports.org/audio/lame/.

 

[babaroga]

That is the problem, I cannot compile it on FreeNAS box or jail. Any other ideas?

Why not? Add a portjail and run this in the jail:
[PANEL]portsnap fetch extract
cd /usr/ports/audio/lame
make install[/PANEL]

 

[babaroga]

hmm been getting "make don't know how to make install. stop" in my jail. strange

anyways...did a bit of "acrobatics" to get the job done...installed PCBSD onVM, got port, compiled it....and then discovered that I could just get lame from PCBSD application centre...never mind now

Saying that, I have updated install scripts as my lms install in on a FS that is mounted into jail, so now script can install into arbitrary directory, backwards compatible as well. Need to find out how to post it here.

Thanks for help

I have no idea on how to make a PBI!
I'm planning to upgrade from FreeNAS 8.2.0-RC1 to 9.2.1
Would be a good idea to build a PBI, if someone feels up for it :)

 

[cyberjock]

The manual is there for how to make a PBI. I've heard its quite time consuming until you know what you are doing. I won't stop you, and I'd love to have a squeezebox PBI!

 

[djoole]

I couldn't find the info for making PBIs in the manual. It's talking about managing them only.

 

[cyberjock]

You're right. I could have sworn it was in the manual. The PBI is the same as the PC-BSD PBI. So any guides for that PBI will work for us. ;)

 

[ser_rhaegar]

I looked this up earlier when talking about OC 6 in irc:

[djoole]

Right i was looking in the user manual PDF, not in the wiki.

I might try something later if it's not too time consuming.
First i need to get LMS started on FreeNAS 9.2.1, i might have to rebuild the CPAN modules, and i just don't remember how i did it 2 years ago!!

I installed LMS quite a while ago following the instructions you had provided, and have just kept updating FreeNAS. Everything works fine.

But as I read the last posts of this topic (which i found out that i wasn't watching anymore), it was my understanding that there is a Perl compatibility problem, solved by installing mc...
Maybe the problem occurs just on a fresh install.
As i'm planning to do a fresh install and not an upgrade from 8.2.0 (i need a bigger SD card..), I'll have this sorted out.
