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

[digimaster]

Works fine now.

Server

Version: 8.3.0 - 1653404108 @ Tue 24 May 2022 05:39:07 PM CEST
Hostname: QNAP2
Server IP Address: 192.168.6.3
Operating system: QLMS 2.X (QNAP TurboStation) [Debian 9 stretch] - EN - utf8
Platform Architecture: i686-linux
Perl Version: 5.34.1 - i386-linux-thread-multi-64int
Audio::Scan: 1.05
IO::Socket::SSL: 2.070
Database Version: DBD::SQLite 1.58 (sqlite 3.22.0)

By the way, what advantages can we see from using the latest version of Perl?

For example look at the audio scan version.
But great that it works.
The other advantages, the latest version got the latest security patches.

I just run in to problem with my BOOMs that stop working at the same time (they suddenly cannot connect to sever anymore).
All other units works fine.

I'm currently at Logitech Media Server Version: 8.3.0 - 1654547000
I suspect a Nightly build, so I tried to downgrade.

I changed .QLMS.conf to
#NOUPDATE=0
UPDATE=1
NIGHTLY=0
#NOMAJOR=0

and did a restart, I expected to downgrade to 8.2.x

But nothing attempt to download new version.

I also tried to set
PERL=0

to see if the new perl version was causing this problem, but that had no effect on my perl version.

It seems to me that .QMLS.conf is not read during start.
I have removed completely so it is recreated, and then repeated the test above, same behavior.

How can I downgrade to 8.2.x?

Yes you can, after adjusting .QLMS.conf do [ ./QLogitechMediaServer.sh clean ] and choice yes. After this restart QLogitechMediaServer so it will download the want LMS.

Cleaning works, but on start I get in trouble with Perl, see console output below...
Could this be the reason why I don't seem to be able to trigger upgrade/downgrade without cleaning as well?

[admin@QNAP2 LogitechMediaServer]$ ./QLogitechMediaServer.sh start
Building LogitechMediaServer from scratch, please wait a moment !
Downloading /logitechmediaserver-8.2.0.tgz !
There was a error, could not download logitechmediaserver-8.2.0.tgz!            

There is a error on Perl !                                                      

[admin@QNAP2 LogitechMediaServer]$

I have already downloaded logitechmediaserver-8.2.1.tgz and placed it in the public share, how can I have QLMS to use it?

Ok, so when having
UPDATE=1
NIGHTLY=0
#NOMAJOR=0

It tried to get ver 8.2.0 which doesn't seems to exist (I assume that was the Perl trouble)

Then I tired
UPDATE=1
NIGHTLY=1
#NOMAJOR=0

it now tries to get ver 8.2.1, this worked (no perl issue anymore), by the way, this was the version I already placed in the public share...
- It installs and start fine

What setting should be to trigger 8.3.0 download?


Doing PERL=1 gives me old perl version 5.24 (it was was not clear to me, though it should be PERL=0)

My problem with my BOOMs remains, independent of Perl version and LMS version.

PS. my problem is solved. It was my WiFi network that registered all my BOOMs with the same IP, even though my DHCP server had given them unique IP's. I don't even know how that is possible.

Hello

thanxs for developing this to qnap devices

got the 233 since last week, installed the LogitechMediaServer_2.31.00_arm_64.qpkg, is this the correct file

however, it works, but it is not the 8.3..it is the 8.21... how to get the 8.3?

thanx a lot

schwimma

edit: ah... seems i had do edit config ;-)

but one question: the update from 8.2.1 to 8.3 should run automatically ( this is no major upgrade) with standard .conf?

ok understood..developer setting ;-)

I had been running v 2.25.03. It worked fine after I found out about the ACL plugin. I tried upgrading to v2.31.00 and the install froze at 80%. I let it run over night for a total of over 12 hours. I was unable to remove the partial install using the QNAP GUI so I found out how to do it from the command line. I've tried installing 2.10.02, 2.25.03, and 2.31.00 from scratch after removing the partial installs using the command line package management utility. All have frozen at 80%. Actually the balloon help on the app icon reports 75% and the background task icon balloon help reports 80%. When it worked, which it did till yesterday, I was very happy with the QNAP app. The NAS is the only device on my home network that runs 24/7 so it's the logical choice for LMS. My only alternative would be a dedicated Raspberry Pi. I'm hoping there's a way to break through the installation barrier

[simeon_casimir]

This must be a corollary to Repair by Intimidation. The authority figure here who made the install work by magic is my posting to the forum. The installation that I was running completed and all of the files seem accessible. With any luck I'll be able to upgrade. My fingers are crossed.

Is there a way I can update a perl module in my QLogitechMediaServer? I want to update my DBD::SQLite version to the latest, so I can weight random play playlists by rating as described in this thread. I don't think the method in that thread is applicable to QLogitechMediaServer. I don't mind ssh'ing into my NAS and running commands there.

Any thoughts appreciated,
Mike
