QLogitechMediaServer for Qnap with QTS 4.2 or higher and x86_64/I686/X86 support !

[jasell]

================== QLogitechMediaServer version 2.30.01 ================================= 27-05-2022

+ Included Perl 5.34 in all flavors
+ Build/complied LMS perl modules for all flavors to support perl 5.34
( armv5tel, armv7/8, aarch64/arm64, x86/i686 and amd64/X86_64 )
- This way all the flavors are the same in version and function.
- Keep in mind I've tested this on my QNap TS-453A a X86_64 system.
! If perl 5.34 wont work, it will go back to the latest supported Perl.

Installs quick and clean.
Just the the odd characters related to the waiting message that also ends up on the prompt...


How can I see what version of Perl that is now running?

Thanks!

================== QLogitechMediaServer version 2.30.01 ================================= 27-05-2022

Looking into the file QLogitechMediaServer.sh I found the cause of these errors at row 110 from the use of ${RED} and ${NC}.
The "garbage" at the prompt I found the remains of the "Clean up.."-message (it printed without a line-break ending up under the prompt) coming from the RECLAIM call at row 118.

The root cause are the declaration of the color variables in .QLMS.func at row 106...
I found this link suggesting another formatting: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/...-echo-in-linux

So I tried this instead

# Set messages colors
NC='\033[0m'              # ${NC}
NORMAL='\033[0m'
RED='\033[0;31m'            # ${RED}
GREEN='\033[0;32m'          # ${GREEN}
BLUE='\033[0;34m'           # ${BLUE}
YELLOW='\033[0;33m'         # ${YELLOW}

Now it runs without formatting errors.


However, I suggest some changes as well...
- QLogitechMediaServer.sh @ row 110: use ${YELLOW} as this is more of an information rather than error.
- .QLMS.func @ row 99: use ${YELLOW} as this is also an information/warning and not an error.
- .QLMS.func @ row 99: there is \n (line-break} before the message and not after, is this intentional?
This is what makes the prompt to write on top of this line when the script is ready.
As long as the message is shorter than the prompt it can look nice, but as in my case, with the errors it did not.

I'm not sure how universal my changes are, but they work on my system.

As this is the first release with perl 5.34 and own build LMS perl module`s, I`m very curious if it works on all flavors ?

You can find which perl version you are running, in the webgui under information.

Curious on other users, there information.
especially because all flavors should run on Perl 5.34.

So lets see you`re LMS info here?

Could the warning be because of older version of Perl?

I think you need to update to the latest release 2.30.02.

Where do I found the latest release?
My qnap app-center haven’t picked it up yet and qnapclub.eu don’t even show 2.30.1

Ok, I see it now. I guess there is a delay from uploaded to published.

It installed ok, same Perl version 5.24.4.
I haven’t seen the error message yet, I’ll report if it appears.

Please have a look at the text formatting I suggested above.
