SqueezePlay for OpenFrame

[proddick]

I decided (at last!) to upgrade a few of my Jogglers to this and am having major issues running it on internal storage with any of them - crashes, disk errors, etc.

Is it likely that *all* have failed or could it be something else? It works fine from USB, but not as convenient.

Also, is there any way to check wireless signal? I tried installing a few packages but most ended up crashing the system - I guess not compatible?

I think the OS updates broke my previous attempts with 3.16 so have tried again...

I built a new USB stick with 3.16 and installed Squeezeplay but no updates. I had it connected on Ethernet and it worked for an hour or so and then Squeezeplay crashed to the CLI. Testing again now...

I see something similar - see my earlier post:
"I experienced some rare random crashes of the Jogglers GUI & Squeezeplay (no, sound, screen shows no Gui, only the std. promt; screen still reacts on touch and the access point functionality I set up for my Joggler also still works). Crashes mostly happend when listening to a playlist and one song ends and the next starts. I 1st thought its the aging USB drive, but error replicates on different USB stick as well.
I am not sure what causes this, however, since reverting back from LMS8.3 to LMS8.2 (and changing LMS settings to proxied streaming for the Joggler) seems to have fixed it"
-> Try LMS8.2 and / or proxied streaming for the Joggler (LMS settings - Player Tab - Joggler - Audio - Streaming method)

Do you mean updates to SqueezePlay itself? No, since compiling that last version there've been no other changes.

I must revisit the 3.16 image and update the packages though; as new kernels are no longer being released under that branch it no longer generates fresh image files. In the meantime you could try a good, old-fashioned:

Code: Select all

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

That'll take a while on internal memory. Those flash ICs must be a little on the twitchy side as I've lost one recently too. Luckily it didn't need wifi, so I've just left a USB stick inside the Joggler which is much faster and more spacious.

I run LMS 8.0 nowadays and this has brought up an issue.
A fresh install on Joggler failed to work with LMS because the Joggler kept prompting me to update my LMS.

The reason is some faulty logic in Jive.

The full solution is probably to use a more recent build of Jive but I patched it by taking a couple of small changes.

in /opt/squeezeplay/share/jive/jive/slim/SlimServer.lua
replace the routine isCompatible with

Code: Select all

function isCompatible(self)
	if self:isSqueezeNetwork() then
		return true
	end

	if not self.state.version then
		return nil
	end
	
	return self:isMoreRecent(self.state.version, minimumVersion)
end

function isMoreRecent(self, new, old)
	local newVer = string.split("%.", new)
	local oldVer = string.split("%.", old)

	for i,v in ipairs(newVer) do
		if oldVer[i] and tonumber(v) > tonumber(oldVer[i]) then
			return true
		end
	end

	return false
end

finally find it by google. great
