Here are the steps needed to upgrade the SlimServer that comes with LinuxMCE (0704) to a newer version of Squeezecenter.
Upgrade SlimServer
- Download the version of SqueezeCenter you want to run to the core.
- cd to /usr/pluto/servers
- Backup the existing SlimServer directory.
mv SlimServer SlimServer.lmce
- Move the downloaded file to /usr/pluto/servers and unarchive it.
- Make a soft link to the new directory. This step just makes upgrades or downgrades go a little faster.
ln -s squeezecenter-some-version SlimServer
- Add a user slimserver and a group slimserver This is the default that Squeezecenter runs as
- Change the ownership of squeezecenter's directory to that of slimserver.
chown -R slimserver:slimserver squeezecenter-some-version
At this point you should be able to restart the dcerouter. This should start the new version of squeezecenter
Configure SqueezeCenter
Squeezecenter needs a little configuration before it will work with LMCE
- In a web browser, goto http://dcerouter:9000 This should bring up the SqueezeCenter Setup Assistant.
- Click on next in the lower right hand corner.
- If you have a squeezenetwork account, enter the login on the SqueezeNetwork Account setup screen.
- Click on next in the lower right hand corner.
- On the Music Source screen use local music should be checked.
- Click on next in the lower right hand corner.
- On the Local Music Folder screen, browse to
/home/public/data/audio
- Click on next in the lower right hand corner.
- On the Playlist Folder page, I use
/home/public/data/playlists
This is only for SqueezeCenter playlists, not LinuxMCE playlists
- Click on next in the lower right hand corner.
- If everything looks good, click Finish
- Next click on Settings in the lower right hand corner.
- Select Plugins from the menu at the top
- Select Command Line Interface (CLI)
- Set the port to 7890
- Click Apply in the lower right corner
- At this point wait for SqueezeCenter to scan the music library
- Restart the dcerouter from either the admin web site or the console
