squeezeplay display garbled on ubuntu 10.10

[Julf]

Trying both squeezeplay 7.6 and 7.7 on ubuntu 10.10, the squeezeplay display is garbled. The player gives a bunch of these error messages:

20120814 13:25:00.440 WARN squeezeplay.ui.draw - _load_image:207 Error loading tile image /opt/squeezeplay/share/jive/applets/WQVGAsmallSkin/images/Icons/icon_nplay_button_tb.png: Unsupported image format

Works for me on ubuntu 12.04 and I've no reason to suppose it won't work on 10.10,

Thanks, but that version seems to have exactly the same problem on my system

Strange. I had the same problem as you with the official version. Installing the version I referred to has never given me any display problems (it was a bit of a struggle to get the sound, but I got there in the end). Can I suggest you also post at the end of that thread to see if anyone else has had similar problems with that version?

I have no other ideas I'm afraid, except to wish you Good Luck.

Will do!

Thanks! Appreciate the help!

I'm still puzzled by your having problems with the version I referred to. Forgive me for suggesting this, but are you quite sure that when you installed that version you really did test that one and not re-run one of the others? You need to run the file /opt/squeezplay/bin/squeezeplay.sh from a terminal (or wherever you copied it to since it doesn't have a proper installation process). As I recall it didn't come with a "..desktop" file. If you get audio problems that's also addressed in other threads (you have to bypass pulseaudio to get it to work).

When I ran the official version I got a garbled screen with text overlaying itself and becoming progressively unreadable. Was that your experience?

The one I now use never showed any problems with the display. In your case did it have a different type of display problem from the Logitech ones?

I did all that - but didn't realize squeezeplay.sh needed to be edited unless you install in /opt/squeezeplay. Did that, and now the display is OK.

Thanks!
