slimp3slave startup on debian

[pmcdowell]

I'd like to set up my slimp3slave debian player up so that it just starts up
automatically on boot. Its a home machine inside a firewall and security
isn't really an issue.
Has someone got a script or maybe point me at a general purpose howto.
I'm a happy squeezebox user, this is just for another headless dumpster
reclaimed player to synchronize with it.

slimp3slave has a segfault issue when it isn't foreground in a console. even backgrounding it causes a segfault... I think there's a memory allocation/access issue (from the segfault), but it's 900+ lines of code I'd rather not debug for a pointer error =/

I ran it as a service, but it segfaults there too.

Try v0.3 (latest is IMHO 0.4). The latter caused more problems for me, too. 0.3 doesn't offer the text based UI, but did its job of playing quite fine.

If you are interested, I have managed to get this to work.

I created a -b option (background) and changed one line in the code.

It works for me, no guarantee's it will work for you :-)

I'd love to hear about this too!

I downloaded his patch, compiled and have it running since without a
problem using the following command line:

slimp3slave -b -s localhost
