Very lightweight hacker ha ha .
Ah , cheers for that , I'll find out that info and get back to you .
What I mean by a screen is just to see what's going on with media etc in the LMS to help set up different hard drives etc .

max2play is okay - you access it via its webpage.
But it's easy to set up LMS on a joggler running sqpOS - just a few commands to type in (or paste and copy)
That way you have a joggler as a player and a LMS server.
If your music is on the router, you just need to know the hdd IP address, eg. \\182.158.0.1/diskdrive (or whatever it is)

I can't remember exactly, but I think that I tried to install LMS on a SqpOS 3 (internal) and the installed failed because of lack of room.
Or I may have installed it and the update failed through lack of space. Which would mean a purge and fresh install for any updates (I only run the 7.9 nightlies).
Obviously, an external OS on a Stick will work fine (I've done one before on a 1 Tb Samsung usb drive (plenty of room for music

)
Edit

the new, slim version might fit,
http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightl ... 3_i386.deb
I'll have a bash tomorrow if I get time

Ooops, yes, forgot about the stick space and the need to expand.
Well worth trying the 386 version on the standard spqOS stick version.
SpqOS needs an auto routine to expand the stick as a first install step.

Managed to do a quick install last night, using a stick with v301 internal OS.
I was not able to connect the Squeezeplay via either Wireless or Ethernet for some reason. I gave up as it was getting late.
So: SqueezePlay installed;
Filesystem mounted on /dev/mmcblkOp2
Size Used Avail Use%
935M 577M 310M 66%
LMS i386.deb installed (no Plugins)
Size Used Avail Use%
935M 780M 107M 88%
Apparently I did this in January this year (according to another thread).

Fixed by updating (SSH to Joggler) and type:
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Now wireless works fine

Sorry for quoting this old post but... are we allowed to upgrade the Ubuntu packages without SqueezePlay OS to break? I have 165 updates waiting... I can't recall updating before.

I might give it a go , so once its running , what would I do to install LMS ?
My hdd is at 192.168.1.254/usb2/music on the router .

Can't answer that I'm sorry.
I resolved my connection errors by switching off the running LMS for a couple of hours and restarting the Router.
Made a fresh image of v3.0.3 internal and did a clean install, wireless connected at first attempt, I did change the Services file though (thanks, karlek

)

okay
1 You need to login via Putty - once logged in then set up root access
At command prompt type:
sudo passwd root
this will ask for a password - choose an easy one - you will be asked to re-enter the password and there is no feedback - if successful you have root access
2. At command prompt, type
sudo mkdir /mnt/music
This creates the directory which LMS needs to access your music files
3. logout
4 Login again as root
5. at command prompt, type (you can copy, and then paste into putty by right mouse click
Code: Select all
wget http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/7.9/sc/b7dfc80/logitechmediaserver_7.9.0~1459712283_i386.deb
Above is all one line
This will download LMS to the Joggler
6. at command prompt, type/copy-paste:
dpkg -i logitechmediaserver_7.9.0~1459712283_i386.deb
This will install LMS
......................................
The next step is to set the joggler to access your music files on the router.
To do this you need to set up WinSCP on your windows PC - you need this to edit one file.
Come back when you have done the above .... good luck

Refreshed this install today with SqpOS v3.0.3.
Resolved the connection failure by restarting the Router.
The completely configured install leaves 57M available, Used is 94%, so I guess that any LMS upgrades would involve a purge and re-install.

OK so I tried tonight , using an app called juice ssh on my phone , all went very well until the very last bit and it says I need superuser permissions now so won't let me install it , it did download ok though .

As you can see I tried a few different things at the bottom , just randomly but I'm pretty sure I do have root , is that the same as superuser ?
Ok so I gave up and re booted in to sqplay os and noticed in there an install LMS section so thought I would try it , I got a message to re boot which I did but now the stick is broke , stuck on squeezeplay front screen

I tried to SSH to no avail , so tomorrow I'll rebuild this stick .

Couple of points:
Unless you login as root (using the new new password) you have to run the install command:
sudo dpkg -i [downloaded lms filename]
Be sure you have WinSCP installed for the next step!

How to you log in as root please , what do you type ?

You have to set up a new root user password first. So, if you have a new stick, use putty or whatever you have to logn as user joggler and password joggler, Then type
sudo passwd root
[change the password] Note it's passwd NOT password
When successfully changed, logout
Login again using root and the new password
------------------------
Be sure to set up:
mkdir /mnt/music
...............................
You can then do the wget and dpkg -i commands
...............................
After all is installed, you can log out
------------------------
Make sure you have installed WinSCP - you need it to easily edit one file

Come one, this all basic stuff. I suggest you carefully read Roobarb's opening post and the links to his dedicated pages on his website. And read a basic Linux tutorial.
