SqueezePlug Media-Server 4.0 (final Release)

[bighead1707]

Hi,

I'm new to use SqueezePlug.

I mount a NTFS HD to DockStar running SqueezePlug. All files under music folder are scanned and listed correctly but when I play the file. "Problem: Can't open file" prompted out. Is there any missing in my installation or setup? I try both WAV and AIFF format but got the same result.

One of the folder information

root@(none):/music/Music/Mahler - Symphony No7# ls -lst
total 911668
167760 -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 171783068 Jun 5 00:29 test.wav

Any help? Thanks

Hi y'all

This is my first post but I've been a 'lurker' for what seems like about 10 years (when I bought my first Slimp3). I recently bought a Sheevaplug from NewIT as my WindowsXP64 server seems to be close to retirement (or the bin), and I while looking for a miniITX replacement I came across plugcomputers and thought I'd give them a go in an attempt to reduce power consumption.
I spent a few evenings looking at forums to see what sort of prior Linux knowledge was required (as I have no experience of programming at any level), and I read the 'Squeezeplug for Dummies' wiki from start to finish, and decided the Sheevaplug and 'disc image on an SD card' road was a safe one for me (a complete dummie), to go down...(if only to remove all traces of microsoft from my life!)

ok - so I probably underestimated the job a little, but I've always been okay with following instructions without actually knowing what the hell I'm doing on this kind a stuff. The first hoop I had to jump through was getting the mac to see it over serial. I could SSH into it but my 2nd Gen Intel Mac Mini just wasn't having it with serial, and after a few hours I gave up and tried it on my newish MacPro. It saw the Sheevaplug immediately, and I subsequently kicked myself a number of times for not trying my work machine earlier (as I didn't want to mess with anything serial related). So on I plodded very meticulously through the step-by-step on the Wiki until I reached the bit where I tell it to boot from the SD card that I wrote the image to using USB Image Tool (Sandisk 4GB SDHC 30MB/S - �5.99 off ebay). This is what I end up with on Terminal:


Marvell>> boot

I've reformatted and 'bad sector checked' the SD card many times and restored the image using both Win7 and XP64 still get the same response. I have the latest U-boot version, and have followed with 'Wiki for Dummies' word for word - so does anyone have any ideas?

I can't believe it's the SD card at fault as many people on various forums claim it's a good brand and type to use, and I also see quite a few posts on similar Bad Data CRC problems with the internal NAND, so I'm guessing it's a Sheevaplug thing...

I guess initially I'd like to hang my 2nd Gen Drobo (NTFS) off the Squeezplug which has all my music on it as well as films which I'd like to play back on my popcornhour A100, and once this is running I'll then look into things like Usenet, torrent clients and MythTV...so any advice to get me to my eventual setup would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Matt

Hi Thomas,

I tried to load the latest patch on my Sheeva one more time, but still get an error:

I am looking for a podcatcher. Would be nice to have firenze on SqueezePlug (http://code.google.com/p/firenze/).
Firenze is java based - is there any chance to get it running on the Sheeva?

Sorry for answering late. No, it seems everything is o.k., but the lib can't find the real files! Are you sure you are able to get access to the files? For me it looks like a right problem. Can you check a fat formatted source?

Hi Thomas,

I tried to load the latest patch on my Sheeva one more time, but still get an error:

It seems you try to access the old URL. Could you please do this: cat /scrips/update_status.txt and cat/scripts/update_history.txt . Please report back the result!

A quick question that may not have an answer but thought I'd ask anyway...

I'm running Squeezeplug on a GoFlexNet device (it's the build immediately prior to the Squeezeserver software moving to LMS – can't remember what the version number was for that without looking)

Anyway, I have one player - which is the SB Radio. I have quite a large library (about 40-50,000 tracks) and generally performance is acceptable using Erlands SQL/Dynamic playlist plugins. However when I try and navigate the folder structure, or by a field (eg Genre, Year, Artist etc) that has a lot of tracks in it, performance is very slow. So slow in fact that after about 30 seconds or so, the wireless connection turns red and the information is never returned. If I then leave it for 5 minutes or more, then the wireless connection re-establishes itself.

My gut feeling here is that there is some sort of time-out going on. Probably in both places 1) while waiting for the initial data to be returned and then 2) when it finally decides to re-establish the network connection.

Sooo the question is – does anyone understand these time-outs and how I might alter the timeout period?

hm, there are no such files:

The performance is less than on Dockstars or Sheevas, but it' quite o.k. for me. ....
Why + an usb audio device? Raspberry Pi has already a soundcard on board. That's working out of the box with my image!

The audio playing for stored mp3 out from Rasperry squeezeslave is slow.
Seems that the playback is 0,9 of normal speed.

Sounds like your mp3 files are using 48Khz sample rate. Squeezeslave only plays 44.1Khz streams.
