![]() But I was taught long ago that it is safer to have an admin and a non-admin account and run as non-admin for everyday use. I know that most people just have one account which is an admin account. I mentioned the matter as it was one possible reason why the procedure did not work for the poster. With this tool, all important basic settings. The installation of the current Raspberry OS (Debian 'Bullseye') can be done most easily with the Raspberry Pi Imager. This makes no difference to the functionality of the Squeezebox server. That does mean that in Terminal one can su into an admin account and then use sudo, but I don't know if that would work in this case. Installing Logitech Media Server on the Raspberry Pi 4B with 5 inch display. Installation using the GUI just requires knowledge of an admin user's name and password, while being allowed to sudo requires you actually be an admin user. Yes, of course, one can always install without being allowed to sudo. Sudo?I must admit that since I know that I can't use sudo I used another way of solving the problem. And would you even be allowed to install unless you are allowed to I've yet to find someone for whom they did not > But I think I mentioned elsewhere that the instructions say to run this ) at /Library/PreferencePanes/Squeezebox.prefPane/Contents/server/Slim/Utils/OS/OSX.pm line 321. If the installersĭon't work for you, ask for help and/or report a bug.Ĭan't locate Tie/Cache/LRU.pm in (you may need to install the Tie::Cache::LRU module) contains: /Library/Application Support/Squeezebox /Users/JV/Library/Application Support/Squeezebox /Library/PreferencePanes/Squeezebox.prefPane/Contents/server /Library/Perl/5.18/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Library/Perl/5.18 /Network/Library/Perl/5.18/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Network/Library/Perl/5.18 /Library/Perl/Updates/5.18.2 /System/Library/Perl/5.18/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/5.18 /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.18/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.18. You should never need to do this if you're on Windows or Mac OSX. Even better: Movian supports FLAC playback, which is great for me as much of my music is in that format.If 7.8 is outdated by the time you read this, Replace "7.8" with the major version I chose the latter… and I could browse the music collection there and listen to it. The server startup appears to hang at a late stage and a log is generated on startup from both the Prefpane and the command line (see attached). I started up Movian, chose the “Local Network” option, and was presented with two server options, both from the Synology: the UPNP/ DLNA, and the LMS instance. Well, to spoil the suspense: yes, it can, because it seems that LMS also supports UPNP/ DLNA, at least to some degree. This morning, it hit me: DLNA also serves audio and photos as well as video, so could Movian somehow play networked music from the Synology? Movian is a very capable UPNP/ DLNA media player, which I had put on the Chromebit for playing video files from the DLNA server on the Synology box. The key Chrome OS app here is, ironically, one I had already installed for another purpose. Movian playing music from Logitech Media Server Even better: it supports Logitech Media Server, which meant I didn’t have to mess around with any other servers. I had a feeling that there must be some means of playing networked audio from the Synology box on a Chrome OS machine… and this morning I had a moment of inspiration, which turned out to work. Sadly, no Squeezebox player software has been ported to Chrome OS, and although there are Squeezebox player apps for Android (such as SqueeezePlayer), at time of writing the Chromebit hasn’t received Android app support, although apparently it is on the way for 2017. ![]() We have a Synology NAS server running Logitech Media Server, which serves audio to the Squeezebox Duet connected to the hi-fi in our lounge, and also to any software players on our home network (such as SqueezePlay on our Mac, and iPeng on my iPhone). That’s not to say there are no gaps, of course, and one item I really missed was a Logitech Squeezebox player/controller app. ![]() Now that many “Chromedevices” are getting support for Android apps, the choice of software available to owners has never been wider. Far from being simply “a Web browser on a laptop”, as too many reviews of Chromebooks mistakenly dismiss them as (this isn’t 2013, people!), the Chrome OS platform allows users to undertake a pretty wide range of computing tasks (increasingly, not requiring an active network/Internet connection). Since I acquired my first Chrome OS computer two months ago-an Asus Chromebit CS10-I have been pleasantly surprised by how few “holes” I have found in what I can actually do with the device.
