SqueezePlug -The Best And "Green" SqueezeBox-Server!

3. Is it only the first time that it needs UDP connection to service.pogoplug.com at port 4365- or will it continue to be a problem even if I manage to get it booting via your dockstar image?.

Hi SBP, you only need it once to enable ssh on the pogoplug website.

The easiest way would be to bypass your router, by plugging the internet connection straight into the dockstar, just briefly to enable ssh via the website.

Thanks. I was a little worried, so I will continue on this project once I get the green LED on

You can put an amplisand '&' at the end of your command - that will make the process run in the background, but you would still have to stay logged into the dockstar (so probably not much use except that it allows you to enter other commands) i.e.

aoss ./squeezeslave 192.168.1.107 -R &

I guess for making it start at bootup you will need a script in /etc/init.d - maybe copy and modify one thats already in there and call it squeezslave? then run the command:

update-rc.d squeezeslave defaults

- I haven't been able to try this yet though

Mark is right that the correct way is an init.d script, and update-rc.d to setup the run-level links.

If you want to run squeezeslave uniterrupted just use:

nohup squeezeslave

This will allow you to logout of ssh and still keeps the process running.

PS. apt-get install sysv-rc-conf for an easy way to see/adjust the runlevel links.

Thanks for the tips.
I will install those packages.

What works for me using SSH

nohup aoss ./squeezeslave 192.168.1.107 -R &

That allows me to shut down putty and it still works.
Great.
Now if someone cut and paste working start up script, then it will be done.

I tried to use 2 squeezeslaves at same time, doesn't work, maybe I have to change name or something else. But one works at this point. What happens is it switches every few seconds from one squeezeslave to the other and only 1 slave shows up in squeezeboxserver page. Not sure how to make each slave name different.

Put one in my living room, cool!

Hi all,
I've tested a bit with SqueezeSlave. Yes, it works! But the sound is very "knacky". So I tried with different setups: SqueezeSlave on DockStar, on SheevaPlug. One time I put all on one system, one time I separate server and client. The result is the same, ugly sound! So I've put in the USB-Audiocard in my windows PC, that works with great sound! So could you please report your experiences? Which device do you use?

My USB-Soundcard is a SpeedLink SL 8850 TBK Vigo

I have no problem with the sound quality.

I've seen some people mention troubles they've had with sound playback in general. Try a different audio player. I've recall some people who had issues it was more of a driver or configuration issue of the usb card. Also the cheaper less khz range ones sound worse.

hi,

im using the terratec aureon dual usb soundcard and getting the choppy ("scratchy") sound as well

http://www.terratec.net/en/products/..._USB_9842.html

looking at the squeezeslave archives, it seems that "the next version" usually sorts out this problem ...

ps im using nohup aoss ./squeezeslave 127.0.0.1 -R &

[menno]

Have you tried this fix for the choppy sound?
