Not really. The UE radio uses its own UE media server. Lmce currently uses squeeze server. The 2 are apparently incompatible. That may not mean that UE media server will not be able to make use of squeezeslave and that UE media server cannot be integrated into lmce in the future. The UE devices require an internet connection so that makes one think of where the media server is located and why....

Hello,

Following L3mce's suggestion I took a look at the most recent version of SetupAudioVideo.sh and noticed some big changes notably a Virtual Sound Card function. he mentioned Radu was working on this. I am working on improving squeezeslave and this appears to be pointed in that direction. I looked at the device templates and the 2223 template does not look like what the code would be looking for so I'm thinking this is still under development. Any word on where this stands? Anything I can do to help? My knowledge of bash in limited but growing.

I think I got it but I moved on with your advice. I can revisit adding to the package the new squeezeslave source later. I just hate pushing something I have not yet built and tested 1st.

Thanks for that

Ok thanks for the help.

I noticed "install-build-pkgs.sh" ran into all kinds of trouble. I will try loading them each and see what happens.

Jim

Ok commented out "build.sh" and came up with error in "build-makerelease.sh" as

Code:

ERROR: Failed to precompile pluto_main to use for MakeRelease

And a whole bunch of

Code:

.....
Computing dependencies for Table_Command.cpp/bin/sh: g++: not found
 done
Computing dependencies for Table_CommMethod.cpp/bin/sh: g++: not found
 done
Computing dependencies for Table_City.cpp/bin/sh: g++: not found
 done
.....

So I don't think its working. I may try and go further but it looks like something is not right.
I'm doing this on a VM not chrooted but on a fresh install of kubuntu 10.04-4 desktop i386.
I'm going to pull down another copy of kubuntu and see if that helps. Same version.

Ok kept moving forward with build.
Ran ./build.sh
Crashed in "build-replacements.sh" with

Code:

dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc -b -tc
/usr/local/lmce-build/build-scripts/build-replacements.sh: line 44: dpkg-buildpackage: command not found

/usr/local/lmce-build/common/logging.sh: line 38: mail: command not found

I'm going to comment out that and move forward.

Sure...

Working on improving Squeezeslave. It appears, to my limited knowledge, that it is built into the package and loaded when squeeslave device is  added. It looks like the standard app as loaded by apt-get install squeezeslave so I may be wrong. Later versions of squeezeslave have added a select by name for sound output. This I can modify with udev as it is an attrib of the card to be something like attrib + device id. So after reboot you don't need to worry about squeezeslave moving your output device. I am writing a script that will check for squeezeslave version and either build a new one from source or pull in the one from lmce. I'm not sure if the latter is possible yet and I don't want to force an upgrade and brake things.

Am I on the right page here or way off?

Thanks

Update:
I misspoke. The only way to get squeezeslave is to build from source. I discovered that this was the case earlier but just forgot. I suppose I can just add to script to just build from source at add device if no squeezeslave is found. Just takes some time.

Ok that cleared that up.

Moving forward now...still lots of errors but we will see.

Thanks!

Thanks for the help

Hello,

Trying to setup build environment. I am following the wiki. My setup is on a VM. I am looking at all the scripts and such to see what is going on but I'm running into problems. I'm sure there is something I'm missing.

When I run

Code:

/install-build-pkgs.sh

I end up with an error

Code:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libxine-dev: Depends: libxine2 (=1.2.0~hg20111226.0300-0yavdr0~lucid) but it is not going to be installed

I'm learning this as I go so bear with me.
Thanks

Thank you. I will take you up on that.
The whole squeezeslave setup is flawed as it can change on reboot. This can be made better.
I need to better understand how lmce handles new devices first to decide what direction it should go. It should be easily adaptable versus just a udev rule for me.

Thanks for the offer!

Ok I got it fixed.

One problem was that wav file sample. It is not compatible with squeezeslave.

There is an error in the LaunchSqueezeslave.sh script.

I followed this thread
http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?97014-Help!-How-do-I-install-SqueezeSlave-on-Ubuntu-Server-12-10-64bit
and got it working.

This setup needs some work. I think some changes to the launch script could make install a bit easier.
I'm going to poke around there and work on a PNP script for the device.
Will be learning bash as I go.

Ok,

Trying to get this working in squeezebox. I see others have got this to work and others have had problems per this thread

I followed the wiki closely and have no sound output. The wiki is kind of vague so this is what I did -

I believe all the software needed was installed at this point but I'm not sure.
