Logitech Media Server or equivalen

Playing different audio in different locations could you simple achieve by using miniDLNA. You could also use Itunes... for the later i have no idea.

Hi,
I've been playing around with squeeze plug as a cheap way for deliverying audio to different locations in the house, but the raspberry pi is a little slow as a server - so wanted to install logitech media server on the OMV. Ive found a plugin which doest seem to do anything (http://code.google.com/p/openmediavault-lms/

So the idea is to be able to play different audio sources in different location (viw RPi) or same source syncronised in all rooms (kinda like a cheap Sonos)

Help would be appreciated.

Hey,

i am searching for a solution for multiroom audio too, but i did not find any so far xbmc does not support it (yet).

as the plugin you found is from Jan 2012 - i think it is just too old to work.

For both audio and video miniDLNA works fine - so long as you do not want the video transcoded as miniDLNA does not transcode. miniDLNA can be added through the optional plugins.

If you need the video transcoded many have been using Plex Media Server and here is a how to thread http://forums.openmediavault.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=1203

Dear johnyb,

1. enter CLI and edit /etc/apt/sources.list
2. add
#Squeezeserver
deb http://debian.slimdevices.com stable main
3. save and quit /etc/apt/sources.list
4. from CLI execute apt-get update
5. and last execute apt-get install logitechmediaserver
6. after that you can open LMS on http://<your-ip>:9000

Have fun

Hi,

johnyb: The plugin you found does work, but you have to first add the LMS/Slimserver repositories
to sources.list.
See for complete instructions: http://www.avforums.co.za/index.php?topic=16874.0

The LMS works on port 9000.
There is no icon in OMV 0.5 but it does work.
Maybe something for the future?

If you are already running MySQL on OMV you might want to have LMS use that. Otherwise it will run it's own embedded database.
Here's how to achieve that:
http://wiki.slimdevices.com/in…n_existing_MySQL_instance

In LMS you also need to add the line "dbtype: MySQL" to your server.prefs for this to work.

Greate i just installed the LMS on mij OMV server.
But does someone know if it is possible to install a Squeezeplayer as wel ?
Now i just use a Rasspbarry PI But i can easy connect my server to my audio set.

Any tips are welcome.

Hi Frank!

This is the method I use and I think it's appropriate for a headless server like the one you're configuring. There are other ways of doing this, of course.

Start by making sure you've installed the basic development environment:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf subversion gettext autopoint libasound2-dev

As a regular user with sudoers privilages (but not root), check out a copy of the latest code:

mkdir squeezeslave

svn checkout http://squeezeslave.googlecode.com/svn/squeezeslave/trunk/ squeezeslave

Use this script in the folder to build squeezeslave. It creates a version of the makefile that disables the display stuff, which is appropriate as your server is headless.

squeezeslave_build.sh

If the initial build attempt failed, consult Ralph's wiki page for more instructions: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.ph...d_instructions

If the build did succeed, then the script will have prompted you for your password and then copied the squeezeslave executable to /usr/local/bin and then asked squeezeslave to report on what audio devices it sees on the system.

Assuming that all that went well, you can then use the script

config-squeezeslave.sh

in the folder to create and configure a service instance for squeezeslave. This script used a text "gui" to try to make picking the configuration parameters easy. The important parameters configured in the service are 1). a fake "mac address" which sets this squeezeslave as a player with a unique identity to SBS/LMS and 2). picking the correct audio output device. You may need to experiment with that last element in order to get things working.

Once everything is set, you should be able to just forget about squeezeslave. It will just "be there" running as a service in the background. You can control it with:

# sudo service squeezeslave start
# sudo service squeezeslave stop
# sudo service squeezeslave status

NOTE:
otherwise you can also download my builds from (http://ul.to/folder/rsv4gn) and follow the next steps:

1) login to your OMV shell
2) sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install autoconf libasound2-dev
3) move the downloaded scripts to your OMV directory /etc/local/bin an run 'sh squeezeslave_build.sh'
4) run 'bash config-squeezeslave.sh'

The important parameters configured in the service are:
1) picking the correct audio output device.
2) a fake "mac address" which sets this squeezeslave as a player with a unique identity to SBS/LMS
3) Install / Enable / Start squeezeslave service
4) Quit / Done
5) Enjoy
