Squeezeslave Setup
Here's how to setup squeezeslave to run on the core. It's fairly straight forward. One small issue is that because squeezeslave uses the OSS interface, you will need a separate sound card for each instance of squeezeslave you want to run.
Download Source
First download a version of Squeezeslave. I'm running the latest version as it fixed some playback bugs I was having, but any version that works with you're setup should be fine.
Installing
- You'll want to put it somewhere in you're path.
- Example: /usr/local/bin
Modify /etc/rc.local
Next add the following to /etc/rc.local (this is my setup for two)
/usr/local/bin/squeezeslave -m 00:00:00:00:00:01 -o 0 -s -r & /usr/local/bin/squeezeslave -m 00:00:00:00:00:02 -o 1 -s -r &
- the MAC address can be whatever you want
- the -o option specifies which OSS output device ie /dev/dsp1
- the -s option tells squeezeslave to wait for a signal to quit rather than control-C
- the -r option tells squeezeslave to keep retrying to connect to the server, useful if the server is not running yet.
Setting Up Alsamixer
Next make sure all the volume levels in the mixer (alsamixer) are set correctly
aslamixer
Make sure that the settings are as desired and save (Esc button)
Setting Up LinuxMCE
Next step, manually add the squeezeslave to linuxmce as a squeezebox using the mac address you gave it.
Select Device
- Select Device->A/V Equipment
- Select SqueezeBox Player from the dropdown options
- Assign it to a room and entertainment area.
- Regen your orbiters and reload the router.
LMCE init script
Copy attached script to /etc/init.d
Download Script
Make script executable
sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/squeezeslave
Modify Parameters
Modify parameters in the beginning of the file to suite your needs.
- MAC address
- slimserver host
- binary location
- soundcard device.
Below is the parameters you should change:
NAME=squeezeslave DAEMON=/root/squeezeslave-0.7.1/$NAME DAEMON_ARGS="-o 1 -m 00:04:20:00:00:01 -r -s 192.168.80.1"
Setup to Run at Start Up
- Run from shell:
sudo default-rd.d /etc/init.d/squeezeslave default 50
- You should now be able to start/stop squeezeslave from shell.
sudo /etc/init.d/squeezeslave start
- Check with ps if it is running:
ps aux | grep squeezeslave
- Example output:
root 9007 0.0 0.3 64116 5436 ? Sl Jun18 0:03 /root/squeezeslave-0.7.1/squeezeslave -o 1 -m 00:04:20:00:00:01 -r -s 192.168.80.1
- To stop:
sudo /etc/init.d/squeezeslave stop
- Restart your core and check if everything start as it should, including squeezeslave.
That should do it.
