Logitech Media Server
sbp:
Hi Jason.
I followed your very detailed "How-to" without any problems or errors - so I successfully build the logitechmediaserver.tcz on my raspberry pi using .
Next I loaded it with:
--- Code: --- tce-load -i logitechmediaserver.tcz
--- End code ---
It went fine
Then I started the logitechmediaserver by:
--- Code: ---tc@box:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/logitechmediaserver start
Making sure that Logitech Media Server is not running first: start-stop-daemon: warning: killing process 1982: No such process
Starting Logitech Media Server.
tc@box:~$
--- End code ---
So it seems fine - however it is not running.
It is not found using "top"
Also if I try to connect to its webserver it is not running (192.168.1.23:9000)
So I think we are very close - but there is probably a small problem somewhere. There is no log file in the var/log/squeezeboxserver, so there is no help here.
I only installed perl after I build the logitechmediaserver.tzc - will that be a problem?

Jason W:
As long as perl is there during the running of the app, it should be ok as there was no compiling. There may be other dependencies needed other than perl, below is a list of debian ones from this site: http://www.pchilton.co.uk/2013/03/27/setup-a-squeezebox-server-using-a-raspberry-pi/
sudo apt-get install libjpeg8 libpng12-0 libgif4 libexif12 libswscale2 libavcodec53
Maybe some of those is what is missing.
Since we are dealing with the Logitech Media Server and are probably very close to a solution, I am good with trying to help here but you may get better help at this stage if you bring this up in the Raspberry PI part of the forum where there are folks with that hardware and can help test.
sbp:
Thanks for your help - I think you are right that I/we are missing more dependencies.
Unfortunately only some of those are available as tzc packages for the raspberry - I tried to install those that I could find (only two) but logitechmediaserver will not still not start.
I will need some time to figure out how to make the missing packages for piCore - but anyway thank you for looking into this.
Steen
Edit - As you know, the apt-get install does not work in piCore
Jason W:
The PiCore packages for those debs for those who may not know are:
libjpeg-turbo.tcz
libpng.tcz
giflib.tcz
libexif.tcz
ffmpeg2.tcz
Some fo their related factored tcz's may be needed too.

Thanks Jason.
I see I can the sce for LMS when running dCore on virtualbox (live dCore-5.14.03.09.iso) for a VM with same (512MB) RAM and flash storage (2 to 16 GB never used more than 1 GB!) for persistence storage (tce), so the problem i described can be isolated. Eventhough the sce is generated without squahfs erros, the LMS does not run in teh VM. (any way to see logs?I tried using "loadsce -d" to no avail... (?) . I use a custom kernel bacause a buggy Bios requires a patched driver, but I cannot see how the changes on a pata drive can harm this server.
A few things that may interest you: the dCore version I am using on the little real box dCore.gz 5.14.03.22 is slightly newer than the iso from release (5.14.03.09) and it really shows your work :).
On the one hand the newest has much less errors during the import. I recall you mentioned in on of the recent posts these were inocuous. On the other hand with the newest dCore (22nd march) spits has some "cannot read .../opt/debextra/Packages"
Do you get these last type of errors?
Next thing I could try try is to copy over the sce's built on the VM onto the tce used for the real box (a thin client with CPU=AMD Geode GX 500 @366MHz, 512MB RAM) and let you know... unless you tell I should try something else :-)
Thanks again (and god night here) Jason!

ps. While rwriting this another (Rpi) user mentioned the logs too. So I am not alone... though you said you saw the web UI on 127.0.0.1:9000 (ummmh...). anyway. The errors I mentioned (cannot read ...'/Opt/debextras/Packages' ) might be related to dependencies. So if you do not get those, we might need to look somewhere else. Since LMS is not in an official debian repo it might help to look at http://debian.slimdevices.com/dists/stable/main/binary-i386/Packages
