SqueezeBox - OpenElec
#1
Im stumped.

I have tried multiple changes to the asound.conf as well and looking into the squeezebox addon files with no luck getting this resolved.


I added the config file by following the wiki (http://wiki.openelec.tv/index.php/Config...menusound) and double checked it had created ok, which it had, and still no luck getting the squeeze box to work

http://pastebin.com/MNPSjTux

I am running:
Gotham OE Beta 2
DC7700
HD5450

Current error saying "could not connect to player"
The player is installed, and i have tested my LMS by installing a client on my Win8 box and tested it working

Any ideas?
Any other OpenElec users have this working?

Thanks

I'll repeat what I said in the main thread

1. get it working from the command line first (see wiki)

2. I think alsa is stuff as you'ev got all this:
NFO: CAESinkALSA - ALSA: /home/stephan/projects/openelec-4.0/build.OpenELEC-Generic.x86_64-3.95.2/alsa-lib-1.0.27.2/src/pcm/pcm_dmix.c:1022Sadsnd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave

...going on and I don't think you should. Ask over the OE forums about that maybe.

Also - that addon is XSqueeze. Not squeezebox, which is a hardware player.
Addons I wrote &/or maintain:
OzWeather (Australian BOM weather) | Check Previous Episode | Playback Resumer | Unpause Jumpback | XSqueezeDisplay | (Legacy - XSqueeze & XZen)
Sorry, no help w/out a *full debug log*.

what does running "squeezelite -l" from the command line/ssh spit out? as bossanova said, get squeezelite running manually and playing via LMS first. then map Xsqueeze to the running squeezelite process before trying to have Xsqueeze start and stop the process itself. crawl, walk, run.

Make sure, you suspend ActiveAE when starting it. It's easy possible via xbmc python api. Alsa does not do any dmix by default, therefore you need to take care for that.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

Hi chaps.

So thanks to everyone, i am making progress...

I didnt seem to have full rights to the squeezelite-i64 files so i have changed that and i can now run it from SSH

Lounge:~/.xbmc/addons/script.xsqueeze/resources/bin/linux # ./squeezeslave-
i64 -ls
./squeezeslave-i64: unrecognized option '-s'

Well -s is not an option for squeezeslave.

Also you need to specify the server, or use -F.

Run with --help to get all options.

Why do you have the | in there between the i64 and the IP address?

@ nick w - take it to the main thread please.

its -l not -i (i.e. minus l, not minus i)
