Test the Plugin on a Raspberry Pi about squeezebox-googlemusic HOT 23 OPEN

First tests have shown that it is running on a Raspberry Pi.

For some reason, the plugin has to be installed under /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/ and I'm still getting some permission-related error messages.

from squeezebox-googlemusic.

The plugin directories on squeezeplug are configured a bit differently than by default. Checking the server information gives some hints. Copying the plugin into /usr/share/squeezeboxserver/Plugins works like a charm.

from squeezebox-googlemusic.

Installing from the remote repository works. The plugin does it's job.

from squeezebox-googlemusic.

maybe one hint for the installation-instructions: apt-get install python-dev is needed on some distris to have Python.H and with this the possibility to install Include::Python

works on my machine (raspberry with squeezeplug) - thanks a lot

from squeezebox-googlemusic.

Yep same for me had to apt-get install python-dev to get the Python.h.
Thanks a lot for taking the time - it works a treat on my squeezeplug set up.

from squeezebox-googlemusic.

You are right. The python-dev package needs to be installed for Inline::Python. I'm thinking of adding a note to the Readme.

from squeezebox-googlemusic.

Just wanted to say...excellent work!!

Am running the plugin on a 3-pi, 4-zone system without fault so far! Using 'all access', the only thing I had to hunt around for was to put the prefix 'ios:' in front of the mobile id in the plugin setup page.

The 'all access' I can stream in different music to different zones!!! Something the spotify service and 3rd party plugin fails to allow!

If I and my setup can be of any use...don't hesitate to use me!

from squeezebox-googlemusic.

@SteUK Thanks for letting me know! The 'ios:' prefix issue has already been fixed. It will be in the upcoming release. If you have any other issues or ideas you can let me know.

Hi, thanks for the plugin.
I'm trying to install it on raspberry-pi on Raspbian GNU/Linux 7 (wheezy) with Logitech Media Server v7.8.0, 1395409907
Everything seems to work - plugin is loaded, i can search, add to playlist, see pictures. But the music does not play.
When i click play, I see error in the logs:

[14-11-06 08:06:55.1381] Slim::Control::Request::execute (1888) Error: While trying to run function coderef [Slim::Control::Commands::playlistJumpCommand]: [Can't call method "isa" on an undefined value at /usr/share/perl5/Slim/Player/Squeezebox.pm line 753.

On line 753 we have code:
} elsif ( $handler->isa('Slim::Player::Protocols::SqueezePlayDirect') ) {
And if i understand correctly $handler is defined on line 178:
my $handler = $controller->songProtocolHandler();

I've tried to log $handler and it prints out Plugins::GoogleMusic::ProtocolHandler

Any hints on how I could troubleshoot this?

from squeezebox-googlemusic.

Ah, never mind. Non related to raspberry, issue 43 solved it.

from squeezebox-googlemusic.

Great! Thanks for reporting anyway.

Few notes, maybe there is a need for FAQ.md or similar, i could do a PR related to pi:

• Since my pi has only 256 mb of ram, i was getting strange random errors when installing CPANimus (most of them related to untaring). I managed to install it only after i've stopped almost all services (squeezebox, rsyslog, ntp, etc.) and freed up enough ram.
• SSL library was missing:
  [14-11-05 22:55:03.6222] Slim::Utils::Misc::msg (1311) Warning: [22:55:03.6153] Async::HTTP: Unable to load IO::Socket::SSL, will try connecting to SSL servers in non-SSL mode
  so i had to install IO::Socket::SSL , which complained about the lack of Net::SSLeay for which i had to install libpcre3-dev libidn11-dev

from squeezebox-googlemusic.

I strongly suggest starting with SqueezePlug, a Raspberry Pi SD card image
with LMS all set up and ready to go. I did have to add the HTTPS line, but
otherwise it works for me.

If you're main usage for raspberry pi is Squeezebox - then yes, that is fine. But if you have other services, and only added Squeezebox later i don't see the point in reloading the whole OS.

from squeezebox-googlemusic.

@gytisgreitai Would it be possible to give us a detailed howto on installing LMS on a Raspberry Pi from scratch without using the squeezeplug image? I tried this sometime ago but failed in doing so.

from squeezebox-googlemusic.

@hechtus I've used this guide http://www.pchilton.co.uk/2013/03/27/setup-a-squeezebox-server-using-a-raspberry-pi/ but it was ~6 months ago.
I'll try to start from scratch with an empty card, next week and see if this still works.

from squeezebox-googlemusic.

It still works and is actually not terribly hard. Using a Raspbian image, you can install LMS 7.8 or 7.9 without any special prerequisites. There used to be problems with LMS 7.7.3 apparently.

I've tried installing the following python-dev, libgd-gd2-perl, build-essential, libc6-dev with no luck, any ideas?

from squeezebox-googlemusic.

I've fixed the issue with this command:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall libc6-dev

This is how I've discovered it.

Through sudo apt-file find sys/types.h you can discover which packages are available for you and that includes the file that you are looking for. In my case, I was interested in a file at ..include/.../sys/types.h.

The most problable candidate was this entry libc6-dev: /usr/include/arm-linux-gnueabihf/sys/types.h

Then I looked on my system for the types.h files as I already had installed the libc6-dev package. This is the output:

pi@max2play /usr/include/sys $ sudo find /usr/include -name types.h
/usr/include/xapian/types.h
/usr/include/gssrpc/types.h
/usr/include/mit-krb5/gssrpc/types.h
/usr/include/rpc/types.h
/usr/include/arm-linux-gnueabihf/bits/types.h
/usr/include/arm-linux-gnueabihf/asm/types.h
/usr/include/freebsd/sys/types.h
/usr/include/asm-generic/types.h
/usr/include/c++/4.6/parallel/types.h
/usr/include/linux/types.h

So something was not right, I was missing the types.h inside the ../sys folder

So I've decided to give it a change and reinstall the package again.

And now sudo cpanm --notest Inline::Python gets installed without problems.

Have a nice day guys

@zegnus Great! Thanks for letting us know.

Hi @hechtus no luck with playing though the Google Play Music plugin, though everything is fine with TuneIn or Soma radio.

Which logs would you like me to provide?

I have a raspberry pi b+ and I'm wondering if there is any performance issues. The raspberry is connected to the router through ethernet.

More information:

I can see all the playlists, I can browse, I can access All Access (I'm a subscriber), when I click on play for a particular song, everything loads but the song just doesn't start to play.

Updating to the media server v7.9 http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/index.php?ver=7.9 solves the issue

Hi

I've installed the latest version on a RPI with Raspbian, LMS and SqueezeLite. I've been trying to get the Google Music API working and believe I've followed the steps correctly, but everytime I go to the plugins page to add my account details I'm presented with.....

404 Not Found: plugins/Extensions/settings/plugins/GoogleMusic/settings/basic.html

I've tried copying the GoogleMusic/settings/basic.html from

/var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/GoogleMusic/HTML/EN/plugins/GoogleMusic

to

/var/lib/squeezeboxserver/Plugins/GoogleMusic/HTML/EN/plugins/GoogleMusic

/var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache/templates/usr/share/perl5/Slim/Plugin/Extensions/HTML/EN/plugins/Extensions/settings/plugins/GoogleMusic

/usr/share/perl5/Slim/Plugin/Extensions/HTML/EN/plugins/Extensions/settings/plugins/GoogleMusic

but its still giving a 404 error. Has anyone else experienced this issue and knows how to resolve it?

Thanks

Alex
