SqueezePlay for OpenFrame
Re: SqueezePlay for OpenFrame
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?

Re: SqueezePlay for OpenFrame
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:proddick wrote: ↑Mon Sep 20, 2021 6:02 pm I think the OS updates broke my previous attempts with 3.16 so have tried again...

"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)
Re: SqueezePlay for OpenFrame
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

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
Re: SqueezePlay for OpenFrame
Before I update my Jogglers to this new platform from sqpos, has anyone been able to solve the problem of Squeezeplay registering itself as a player in LMS, when you are using the Joggler as a control surface only and therefore don't want it to? Clearly the Logitech Controller firmware has a means of telling LMS whether or not you've enabled playback functionality on it, so it would be great if there was any sort of equivalent in Squeezeplay on the Joggler to be able to do the same.

Re: SqueezePlay for OpenFrame
It could probably be done ... but another approach is to run JiveLite rather than SqueezePlay and install/run Squeezelite if you want a local player (others have done that).
Re: SqueezePlay for OpenFrame
That sounds like the best way forward. I see that Roobarb has packaged up a Debian Bookworm image for the Joggler on his site. Do you know if anyone has got Jivelite running on this, as specific topics related to JiveLite installs on more recent OS platforms seem pretty hard to find?Paul Webster wrote: ↑Sun Aug 06, 2023 7:44 am It could probably be done ... but another approach is to run JiveLite rather than SqueezePlay and install/run Squeezelite if you want a local player (others have done that).

Re: SqueezePlay for OpenFrame
Thanks to @roobarb! and everyone else who has kept these Jogglers going. I continue to use my jogglers daily - one of which is on SqueezePlayOS (installed on internal memory) and has worked faultlessly for years. However, I have a problem which I am certain is new, and has appeared without any changes to the device, and is persisting a reflash of the squeezeplayOS image.
The device is used as a clock radio, so the screensaver is set to a clock option for "When stopped", with a suitable timeout. Rather than turning off the player (which correctly blanks the screen), we leave it on and when not playing it would show the clock after the timeout. But this has stopped working and I can no longer get any screensavers to activate: the screen just stays on the home menu. "Display Standby" still works to turn off the screen as expected (but is disabled).
I've run the ubuntu image from a USB stick to see if there are some errant messages perhaps coming from a failing touchscreen, but no input events appear to be triggered when not being touched. Any other ideas what could be preventing the screensaver from showing the clock, please?

Re: SqueezePlay for OpenFrame
Hi all
I'v installed the Ubuntu Bionic image with USB stick and reflash tool to my OF2 device.
I did run the script "sudo of-install squeezeplay".
After reboot, I see only the $ sign and black screen.
If I do an reboot, then I see for short moment the squeezeplay logo and thats all.
After reboot it comes again to the $ sign.
If tested with 2 devices.
My big problem is, that mysqueesplay page doesn't work anymore and I search a new solution to use my devices
Any Idee what the problem could be?
Regards

Re: SqueezePlay for OpenFrame
No.
I did have it running for a while on my OF2; then updated and it wouldn't start afterwards.
Installed Bookworm / Squeezeplay on a USB stick and all is well now.

Re: SqueezePlay for OpenFrame
Try it with one of the latest Debian images. I shifted focus from Ubuntu to stock Debian, so I have no idea what state things are in on that image these days.shadow1901 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 19, 2024 10:35 am I'v installed the Ubuntu Bionic image with USB stick and reflash tool to my OF2 device.

Links should be in the signature below, I recommend using Bookworm as it's the latest release.

Re: SqueezePlay for OpenFrame
it doesn't help if I use the Bookwurm image...
The screen still blank after reboot.
If I use the sudo reboot command, so I saw short moment the squeezeplay logo.
During start I see the 3 dots during booting and after few seconds it shows only the "$" sign.
Any idea?
