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...

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

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?
