SqueezeCenter 7 on QNAP

[krimmo]

I have been at it for about 7 hours...

First of all thanks a lot to FlipFlip, Mr Hyde, Rich Simpson, all who have spent so much time on getting SC7 onto the ts.

My situation is as follows - I succesfully installed SC7 using flipflip's beta10 SSODS software.

I have then been going crazy on two issues:

I cannot seem to scan my library. I do have a pretty huge library but I cannot even seem to see any progress.

Hi

Regarding the scanning issue I think I can help you. I had the exact same problem using the SSODS beta 10 and SC 7.0-17793 on my QNAP 109, fw 2.0.1 0324.

I think something must have changed since the 'SSODS Beta 10' no longer handles the error Zlib.pm error, as it is stated in the server log:
"ssctrl Enabled work-around for bug #6849 (Zlib.pm)"

At least this message, together with trying to run the scanner.pl manually, helped me search in the right direction and iron this out.

See here: http://forum.qnap.com/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=3822&p=20690

The problem is the existence of a perl module: Zlib.pm, that for some reason prevents the scanner from running.

At least that was the issue on my system...

Once this is (re)moved from the location /volume1/SqueezeCenter/CPAN/Compress/ scanning worked again.

FlipFlip:
First let me say: "Thanks for your effort! Guys like you, who spend so much time on stuff like this, are priceless!!"

Maybe you could have a look at what has happened with the bug-fix (work around) for the #6849 bug. in the ssctl script I found the test for the Zlib.pm, and actually I don't understand why it wasn't removed from the location. But I havn't spend much time analyzing this.

Uups. There's a typo: change ZLib.pm to Zlib.pm in the line where it removes it.

Thanks for reporting.

Hi

The problem is the existence of a perl module: Zlib.pm, that for some reason prevents the scanner from running.

Thanks Krimmo - Considerable progress!

I copied the Zlib.pm file up two directories to the same one scanner.pl was in
I removed the original file
I used the follwing launch commnad
/volume1/SSODS/bin/perl /volume1/SqueezeCenter/scanner.pl --wipe --progress --d_scan --d_parse /Qmultimedia

The messages I get are:

And now it keeps going.

Are the above just "bumps in the road" errors and the scanning process is working correctly?

Thanks

[Coppernob]

Just a quick post to confirm that the scan worked perfectly - thanks Krimmo.

Now for Alien BBC:

bpa has written instructions for Windows on how to start the debug log - I cannot find how to generate the error log for the TS109. Can any of you give me a pointer?

[ptrendy]

Installed SSODS Beta 10 on a Qnap TS-109 - didn't see any errors. Fumbled around a bit as I'm new to this and..........

Can't seem to get the squeezecenter to scan the my music which is stored in qmultimedia/music...in artist subfolders. If I turn on the squeezebox and do a search under musicfolder it finds it all and I can play it. The artists that I have chosen to listen to then appear in the library when I rescan but nothing else does.

Nothing in scanner log or perfrmance log

The server log files show this:

If any of you are kind enough to respond please can this be in layman terms. Exactly what to check and how to resolve...have been holding out for the one button install but as my partner is bring home the Duet tonight I thought that I better take the plunge.

Thanks in advance.

Not that I wan't to nag you, but if you had spend a few minutes checking the posts just above, you would have seen the solution/explanation to your issue... :-P

Check her: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showth...158#post288158
And see FlipFlip's post below what the error, so you can remedy your self.

If you are not into Linux/terminals/vi stuff, you may have to rely on FlipFlip making a new version of the SSODS for the issue to be solved.

I think if you "Browse Music Folder" it'll add the files to the library also without the work-around enabled.

It'll be fixed in the next release.

[ptrendy]

Sorry guys, have been staring at these pages on and off for so long. Thanks for responding. Also thank you flipflip for making all this possible.

[ptrendy]

Saw what you wrote on the qnap forum Krimmo:

"got this nailed down to the existence (re-occurrence? FlipFlip?) of the Zlib.pm file in the location: '/volume1/SqueezeCenter/CPAN/Compress'. I moved the file up the folder hierarchy to the folder /volume1/SqueezeCenter/ (in order to preserver the file if needed), and now scanning from the web interface is working..."

If I use putty please can you tell me how to move the file
or delete it. Apologies if you've gone into more detail with this - couldn't find it

Cheers

Hi, Im using SC 7 with SSOTS latest version - works fine. Anyone know how to solve the "rebuffering" problem with AlienBBC. There is a problem with other radiostations as well. If so, could someone please give me some instructions on how to install this plugin. I have read the F.A.Q. on Flipflips site...
