Plug'n'Pimp - Opera, Squeezplay, ...easy way

[gegs]

It's working fine for me. I can only suggest uninstalling the server and re-installing, but maybe you have. Other than that, I don't know.

Can't you use SCP to download the files, unzip them locally and then copy the unzipped files to the correct location?

I tried to get the iplayer plugin to work for ages, but after the 3rd (!) fresh install of 02 software (for all sorts of reasons), i noticed the chown command and it worked first time. All i could suggest is checking free space with 'df' in putty, and then yeh maybe unistalling squeezeplay and squeeze server and reinstalling after a reboot, squeezeplay first.

Incidentally, the last time i had to reflash i think it was because i booted up the joggler without the usb soundcard attached while having it running on the usb soundcard option. Just mention it as a warning really, dont know if anyone else has had the same thing?? Dont want to try it again to find out for sure!

Thanks to gforums and roobarb for all their hard work on this - it's meant I've finally found a use for the joggler, but I couldn't register on the old forum to say cheers.
I'm running latest version of PnP, which plays fine through an Rdac when mixer is enabled. When I change Joggler settings to USB external without mixer, I can't get squeezeplay to start when Joggler is attached to the dac. And no other applications will output sound to the dac. Any ideas what the problem might be here?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi

Success, at last, I have managed to install and remove plugins from Squeezebox Server. The whole program seems to be functioning ok.

I had already tried installing the package of Server and Perl 'n' times and issued through ssh the command:

chown -R squeezeboxserver:squeezeboxserver /media/gforums/apps/squeezeboxserver-7.6.0-31297

with no success.

This was how it was resolved:

1. Removed Perl on its own via the Plug'n'Pimp Install Tools web interface.
2. Rebooted the joggler.
3. Installed Perl on its own, again from the Install Tools menu.
4. Rebooted the Joggler.

At this point I found that the Squeezebox Server would not start.

5. Issued the ssh command above again and rebooted the Joggler.

The Server was running and plugins could be installed.

Hope this helps any other user who comes across this problem.

Thanks for advice given.

Can anyone help me start the Squeezebox Server on my Joggler?

I have 1 SB3 & 2 SB Touches running on a wired network, using one of the Touch's as the server.
I bought a Joggler to use as a touch screen controller for the SB3 & to run Squeezebox Server.
I have been using the Joggler as a controller with Squeezeplay for a while, but have recently tried to luanch Squeezebox server on it without any success.

I am running Plug'N Pimp on the Joggler & have all the latest firmware / apps etc. I have tried uninstalling / re-installing the SB Server & Squeezeply several times, tried registering the Joggler on MySqueezebox several times, rebooting etc but still no joy.

The Joggler seems to be still looking to connect to my Touch for the server, i have disconnected all SB's in an attempt to force it to use the Server on the Joggler but this does not work & there is not an option on the Squeezeplay menus to start the SB Server on the Joggler.
I am sure the Server has not started as i cannot connect to it / acces the web interface on Port 9000 & have tried turning off all firewalls & anti-virus to see if they were blocking access.
Is there a way to start the Squeezebox Server using SSH into the Joggler??

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Great to hear you got it working Regor, its a cool plugin, i dont think i could live without 6 music anymore!

@ Pog, I have exactly the same problem, squeezplay wont start with 'usb no mixer', Im using a creative xmod wireless. It seems to me the 'internal sound no mixer' is very stable so its a shame I cant get the usb equivalent to work. Would be interested to hear if it works for others.

Hi,
I'm not an expert but....

1 make sure squeezeplay is installed before server.
2 you need the Perl (sp?) Install on the joggler through plug n pimp before installing server (might need it for the player too, can't remember),
3 try the 'force install' option for server in one of the plug n pimp menus.

I had the same issues but eventually could log in via port 9000 then entered my details and it all started up.

Cheers

Managed to get SB server up & running now thanks, by uninstalling the Server & Perl, then installing Perl then SB Server.

Thanks verry much for your help.

I have another problem now :-
i cannot get the SB Server to scan the music library on my USB HDD, the first scan took about 12 hours and looked like it had loaded all the music, but none was visible from any of my SB's.
I have tried scanning again a few times, but it takes agaes & then hangs.
Looking at the forums there seems to ne a problem with SB Server 7.60 & scanning files on a NAS - i guesss this is what i am experiencing on my Joggler.
Does anyone have a solution or work around that i could try??

Is there any way to roll back the SB Server to an earlier version ie. 7.50 on my Joggler, as all suggestions are pointing to the scan problem being an issue in version 7.51, 7.60 etc. ??

Thanks for the post! I'd not been able to install iplayer plugins since updating Squeezebox but this set of instructions did the trick! Ta!

I too have the problem which stops icon positions from being saved like this description on the other forum.

Just one problem - if I rearrange the icons, the next time I reboot the icons have gone back to their original place.
Noy a big deal but a little buglet.

okay....I assume this happens only with the open peak skin? maybe a problem with the menu cookie files. I'll see if this happens on my device as well. Possibly just some files to (re)move...don't know.

Could anybody help me find the cause of this problem?
I'm using the openpeak skin with all updates applied, it did not happen until I updated a couple of days back.

btw everything else is working perfectley, nice work all involved.

Best regards, David.

To gforums / christian....hi christian thank you for all your hard work on the joggler, you made it a worthwhile gadget and possibly increased its demand. I have the xbmc img on usb which i boot occasionally as well as jolicloud img. they dont affect your software.
jolicloud connects to wifi but cannot get xbmc to connect , have you any ideas. xbmc would be a nice add on to your software.
xbmc is wasted because i cannot access my wifi. ive read various tutorials online sayin to telnet the settings in but not sure how to , doesnt seem to accept telnet access now but im more than pleased with my joggler because it is up and running perfect. with jolicloud spotify runs well also...
i feel xbmc is a must have just like squeezeplay..
heres jolicloud link..http://joggler.exotica.org.uk/jolicloud/
heres xbmc download link scroll to bottom of screen dont use top download link , it will say you cant download without premium account...use deposit files link
http://www.multiupload.com/4TEJYQ2FW1
thx again
from one of your growin number of fans
ps the only thing that i feel can wipe out anyone joggler is if it loses internet connection because that stops you accessing it from your pc

[xoom450]

is there any chance of getting xbmc incorporated in the gforums ....

I find TDK 4gb flash drive cost about £8 from tesco a good flash drive to use..

xoom450 - you seem to have posted the same text on multiple threads. are you aware of this. It's helpful to try and keep threads on topic etc and to post for example info on joggler recovery to a single related thread.

sorry buzz

Hi guys....

think this is my first post here

Just to let you know...I'm gonna write my diploma thesis the next 4 months so probably I won't have nearly no time for things like this PnP stuff.
It's not dead and I'll update especailly Squeezeplayer again when I get some time but don't expect new apps coming soon.

Concerning xbmc: It's to big and needs to many other libs and software to run. It can not be included into PnP easily.

Hmm possibly the opeanpeak skin contains some temporary files that have "saved" the layout in a fixed arrangement. Didn't have a look for it, but might be just deleting some files would solve it.
Have it on my mind for sometime in the future.

Hi, I'm using P'n'P on two Jogglers and have noticed that if my SBS (running on a separate server, haven't got it installed on the Jogglers) is restarted (or anything else causes a break between Squeezeplay and the server) then Squeezeplay locks up on the Jogglers - touching the blank screen results in a flash of light and nothing else. I can use the virtual console to issue a "killall -9 jive" and then I'm back at Tango so I can restart Squeezeplay. Is there any way of configuring Squeezeplay so that it will reconnect gracefully to a Squeezebox server that has temporarily "gone away"? It's the one thing that may be affecting the Wife Acceptance Factor in this particular household

Hi folks.

I've tried installing Squeezeplay via Plug n Pimp, but it won't open when clicked on. I've installed Perl too but still no hope.


Also...a few radio stations via the original internet radio player have gone weird. They worked originally. But now some radio stations seem to play in fast forward. It's like you'd imagine a mouse to talk, squeaking away.

I've got;

BBC iPlayer,
Opera Mobile,
Squeze Play,
Driver Pack,
Perl.

I'm pretty sure one of these has played around with my radio! Maybe the driver pack?

This has been mentioned before, I think the fix was to switch sound card to 'internal sound with mixer' via PnP->Control
