SqueezePlug Media-Server 4.0 (final Release)

[pfeifer]

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

Thanks a lot ralphy. The problem was the bitrate.

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?

These files were copied from my NAS directly. However, for those files copied from PC afterwards, there is no such problem. Anyway, it works well now. Thanks.

Hi Guys,

My Sheevaplug has been great since I got it a year or so ago but the other night I think we had a powercut or a powersurge of some sort and since then the USB drive I have all my music on won't mount any more.

I've been looking around for help on Debian sites but I'm not having a great deal of luck. So first up: It boots fine and the Squeezebox server is being started because my boxes can still log into it. Although, the website on port 9000 won't come up (Android and iPad apps find them, just no music).

I thought maybe the drive had become corrupted so I formatted it (it's now NTFS not FAT32) but the issue remains. On the startup it shows that it failed to mount.

If I do uname -a this is the info:
Linux squeezeplug 2.6.32-5-kirkwood #1 Tue Jun 14 23:05:32 UTC 2011 armv5tel GNU/Linux

Now I had to install Squeezeplug via the manual method but that should be fine, I hope.

If I type lsusb I get:
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 1058:0704 Western Digital Technologies, Inc. Passport External HDD
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

So it's definitely there but blkid shows:
/dev/mmcblk0p1: UUID="10e05198-1d9e-4db6-9722-9679d567dce5" TYPE="ext2"
/dev/mmcblk0p2: UUID="8b384364-6cf9-434f-a10f-f16ccb5921a4" TYPE="ext3"
/dev/mmcblk0p5: UUID="41722fa7-b288-4e7b-b5e0-a9372f2ccf7b" TYPE="swap"


And fdisk -l just shows the four partitions on my memory card. Doing fdisk -l | grep NTFS shows nothing at all.

I'm happy to try to fix this myself but I'm a bit stumped where to start. Googling about this seems to fail to give me any good information as if this is an unusual thing.

I just swapped in a memory stick instead of the drive and apart from the lsusb command showing a different drive both blkid and fdisk -l are the same.

Maybe I need to reset it in some way, although I'm not 100% sure I now how to wipe it back to the start so I can reinstall everything.

Thanks
Theo

Okay, just a minor update to say that the Squeezebox server web page does load after all but, obviously, there is no actual music since the drive's not mounted so it's not much use. :-/

[stevedresden]

Can you mount the disk on an alternative system (ie not the sheeva - maybe a windows PC?)

[TheoGB]

I could do that but then I'd have to have a server on 24x7 which is the reason I got the Sheeva in the first place: low power consumption and ease.

I actually tried rebooting it yesterday and it seems the memory card wasn't reading so I'll set it all up again. Maybe it was simply a sign that I was about to lose the whole thing!

I'm trying to get the 3rd party spotify plugin working with squeezeplug - but without success so far. The self test says "Player did not connect to helper app - check your firewall allows the helper app to receive incoming connections from players on the helper app port defined above" - the port is 9005 - is it possible that it's blocked? It also says that the helper app is running and can connect to spotify.

I'm using Squeezplug on a Dockstar, today the Touch updated it's own software to 7.7 and now

when I select the official Spotify app now it comes up with 'You have made a selection that will connect to different library' and will get no further

Please help.

Does the software need updating on the Dockstar?

Hi Thomas!

I know you have been focusing on Squeezeplug for the Raspberry Pi lately.

Meanwhile Seagate has come out with a mobile, battery driven WiFi Goflex, called the GoFlex Satellite. I wonder if it could be possible to run Squeezeplug on it?

Hi,

Squeezeplug is working great on my Raspberry Pi. I have my music and movies connect to USB drives. One is formatted FAT and the other NTFS. Both are recognized and reading fine. Am I able to write to the NTFS drive? Is this supported or is NTFS read only.

Thanks.
