Removing the second section, I now get the error message "Unsupported sample rate" on my Joggler when playing some mp3s. (Of course that makes sense considering the change I just made to convert.conf.) However I am pretty sure I didn't have this problem with playing those files on a previous version of SqueezePlay on the joggler.

I might have been wrong in my previous post. I think I get the same behaviour whether I initiate the playback from either the jogger or the web interface.

And just in case it helps, I don't have any problem in playing these mp3s on my Squeezebox Radio.

Interestingly, using squeezelite as the player everything works. I assume squeezeplay and squeezelite are using different mp3 libraries?

cheers

You're lacking IO::Socket::SSL on your system. ......
What LMS does when IO::Socket::SSL is missing, is use http instead of
https. Pretty often for simple streams this is ok. But in the case of
the spotify API it would try to redirect from port 80 to https on port
443 - which results in a loop, as LMS would then go to port 80 again.
This is causing the "Redirection limit exceeded" error.]

Hi captkronos.
How did you install Squeezelite? And are you able to play WMA files with it?

I too tried to install squeezelite to SQOS, but I did not (fully) succeed.
Main reason I want Squeezelite is, because it should be able to play WMA files natively - which Squeezeplay sadly can not do due to some licensing issues.
When I did the install via apt-get, I could play mp3 and other files, but not WMA files - no error, just no sound and no progress in the progress-bar.
The other option for a simpler install is to install the "Local Player" Plugin to LMS (when running on the joggler) - that install seemed to not work for me at all.

-> Any help to get Sqeezelite properly installed onto the joggler SPOS would be greatly appreciated.

All the best, Heiner

Always good to back up first! Easiest way is to write the reflash system to a big stick or hard drive, then use GPartEd to add an extra FAT partition at the end. Then boot it up with a keyboard attached (with no replacement OS files in /boot/reflash) and press a key to get it to the command line. Then run:

Code: Select all

sudo dd if=/dev/mmcblk0 of=<path to your extra partition>/orby-backup.img

If you then feel really kind, pop that up on the web somewhere, so we can all have a copy. In fact, while you're there you could:

Code: Select all

sudo modprobe fh
sudo if=/dev/fh of=<path to your extra partition>/orby-efi-backup.img

Which would dump the boot EFI so we can take a peek at it!

After some troubleshootimg (see Slimdevices forum - 3rd Party - SmartMix thread) it turns out that the problem occurs due to the lack IO::Socket::SSL beeing installed in SQOS.

I installed it via apt-get install libio-socket-ssl-perl libnet-ssleay-perl
May be, it is worth to add this in some future SPOS release?
