SqueezePlay OS (Version 3) for OpenFrame

[castalla]

1. Are you using this: http://birdslikewires.co.uk/download/op ... ext.img.gz

2. Extract img file

3 Write img to usb

[Error]

yes yes and yes.

There's something strange going on.

Stick1 with v1.09 recently started acting weird and the :9000 page of LMS kept loading but never really did.

So I decided to update.
Stick2 with v3 won't boot properly.
Stick2 with v1.09 again results in the same behaviour. The same (non standard) screensaver is there and :9000 fails to load again. It just seems like the same installation as with stick v1.09 but how can that be if I used another stick with a fresh written image??

What should I do now?

[castalla]

What are you using to write the img ?

[castalla]

Also, what browser are you using to connect to LMS?

[Error]

I'm using Win32diskImager, WIndows7 64 bit.

I'm using Firefox. But tried Internet Explorer as well and that didn't work also.

[castalla]

Wired or wifi?

[Man in a van]

yes yes and yes.

But 1.09 doesn't have LMS installed by default, there's an option to install it within the Squeeze play interface. Are you sure its not a cached browser page or LMS on a different machine you're seeing.

[Error]

Castalla I use the Joggler wired (as all my fixed stuff like TV, PS3, NAS, PC.)

No it's not cached, i switched it off and now :9000 can't be reached, no reaction. That makes sense, its off..

I pulled the stick on which SqpOS is installed and let it boot from flash, it should now boot in PNPIII. But again it boots in v1.09 ???
For the record: no stick plugged in... Anyone seen this before yet?

So I'm guessing to reflash the original system again? And then format the stick and put SQPOS on it again? Any other thoughts?

[castalla]

I'm getting lost! Looks like you've managed to install the internal version of Sgpos at some point.

Back to square one, I think.

[Error]

I decided to start all over again.

- reflashed the joggler with reflash tool 1.11
- reflashed it with OF1_v30300
- Installed PNPIII (fresh version) on the internal memory (took VERY long to complete but succes!)
- grabbed my new 8gb stick, wrote SqPOSv300 to it
- used gparted to expand the root of the stick
- popped it in, it took quite some time but it booted.
- LMS took ages to install, also the Joggler reacts quite slow on commands.
- Network share succesfully mounted, all the files were scanned.

So far so good.

BUT
- it won't connect the player to the server. If i login to :9000 I can see there is no player connected. On the joggler I try to connect to "ServerMusic" (library) and it returns a failure ((in Dutch so translated ) "can't make a connection to server, check if computer is on and connected to your network. ALso check if LMS is running"). I rebooted the Joggler, same story. Strange; since I can access LMS it must be alive, and connectable over the network. And if that's the case then why can't I connect? Suggestions?

And why is it that the joggler responds so slow on commands? Is this a network-issue? I suppose I could reboot the router.

EDIT:
never mind; after another relaunch I was able to connect player to server again. So up and running again, with version v3!

Thanks for your support along the way!

I have installed SqOS v3 on the internal flash memory of my joggler.
Then I installed the nightly build of Logitech Media Server v7.9. The installation succeeded, but there is no free flash memory fo indexes.
Is there some package that I can remove to free some memory space? (I don't use wireless and samba.)
Thank you.

Just a quick note - I'm in the process of moving servers, so things will be wonky for a short time. Should be back soon!

Wouldn't save you that much space.

My advice - use a USB stick if you're wanting LMS. Even on the older versions where you could install LMS from the menus, once you did, it would quickly fall over through not being able to write it's database files. I managed to fudge it by deleting binaries for other architectures, but really, just use a little stick. If you don't need wireless, you could even pop the stick inside.

Done! On a lovely 1Gbps connection now.

I have been an early bird by downloaded your 3.00 version:

18.09.14 - b13added3cd7e5511d123348af64eb0c *sqpos300_of1.img.gz

and I am was facing a problem where all my jogglers stoped working after a couple of days when I rebooted them (freezing during loading).

I have seen that there is now a newer version for downloading with the same version number (?!).

22.09.14 - 12490d0090e345e3609255a868c82adc *sqpos300_of1.img.gz

Has there been any update addressing the issues I described above?

[castalla]

I'm using the image which I downloaded on 19 Sept. - no issues.

[palindrom]

18.09.14 - b13added3cd7e5511d123348af64eb0c *sqpos300_of1.img.gz

22.09.14 - 12490d0090e345e3609255a868c82adc *sqpos300_of1.img.gz

The "18.09.14" version seems to be buggy (eg. automatic display dim not working ... ).
Ensure to download the current version 3!

Tired of getting a new random LAN MAC address after FW update?
Just use the WLAN MAC Address for LAN (as the Logitech does as well).

Just replace [EDIT: path corrected]
/opt/squeezeplay/bin/sqp_JogglerNetwork.sh (UPDATED to LOCAL WLAN-MAC)

Yup, I uploaded a tweaked version, but it was incredibly minor - think it was a comment in a script or something. It was largely to test out a build script I'd made, if I remember right.

Well spotted! Shouldn't have had any impact on the issue you saw, though.

[roughlychiron]

Hi again Everyone,

Tried out newest version last night ... seems to work fine BUT will not now play my WAV files ..... is this a known issue? has the facility been dropped?

Cheers
