Squeezebox Server may not work correctly. If it shows the error message:

Text
`The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.`

The following steps resolve the issue:

Open terminal on the HDA enter the following commands and accept all defaults (DO NOT copy and paste):

bash code
`cpan`

NOTE: At the cpan prompt type force install CGI::Cookie and followed by quit when finished.

Start squeezeboxserver:

bash code
`service squeezeboxserver start`

NOTE: If you still receive the message above, a restart of the HDA may be required.

Squeezebox server plays AAC files natively, but uses a 32 bit library. On 64 bit machines you may get an error message on your squeezebox saying

Text
`Problem: Can't open file for: [song title]`

A simple fix for this problem is to install the 32 bit glib package. Open terminal on your HDA and enter the following:

bash code
`yum install glib.i686`

Your AAC files should play on successful installation.
