{{NeedsUpdate}}<br />'''NOTE:''' This guidance does not apply to Amahi 9 (Fedora 23) or newer. == App Fix for Fedora 12 to 14 Squeezebox Server Upgrade ==
[[Category:Apps]]
Sometimes the Upgrade from Fedora 12 to Fedora 14 causes the [http://www.amahi.org/apps/logitech-media-server Logitech Media Server] (formerly Squeezebox Server to fail, showing ) may not work correctly. If it shows the error message ": The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later."
When logging in to a GUI session '''The following steps resolve the following boot error message may be shownissue:'''
Starting Squeezebox Server: The [[Open_Terminal_as_root|Open terminal]] on the HDA enter the following CPAN modules were found but cannot work with Squeezebox Servercommands and accept all defaults ('''DO NOT''' copy and paste):CGI::Cookie (loaded <not found>, need 1.27) cpan
'''NOTE:''' At the cpan prompt type <code>force install CGI::Cookie</code> and followed by <code>quit</code> when finished.
Start squeezeboxserver: service squeezeboxserver start '''NOTE:''' If you still receive the message above, a restart of the HDA may be required.  == Playing AAC files on 64-bit installs ==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 Problem: Can't open file for: [song title] A simple fix for this problem is to install the 32-bit glib package. [[Open_Terminal_as_root|Open terminal]] on your HDA and enter the following: yum install glib.i686Your AAC files should play on successful installation. (source: [[http://forums.amahi.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=2734|this forum post]]) ==Squeezebox and locally mounted shares==If you access your media files using [https://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Mount_Shares_Locally locally mounted shares] (eg if you are a [https://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Greyhole Greyhole] user), you will need to change the permissions of your squeezebox server user. The following steps squeezebox service is run by a special user <i>squeezeboxserver</i> who doesnt have access to the local shares by default. To fix, open terminal and type: sudo usermod -a -G users squeezeboxserver You may need to restart your squeezebox server. Now when you want to add directories to your squeezebox using the web interface all your shares should be accessible.  == unblock-us DNS issue with mysqueezebox.com Workaround (Fedora 19) ==The unblock-us.com domain name servers do not resolve mysqueezebox.com subdomains properly (eg content.mysqueezebox.com, update.mysqueezebox.com). This breaks the MySB network connection for squeezeboxes connected to the issueserver and means they can't play pandora or other apps. Workaround:Amahi 7 uses dnsmasq for the domain name service, which has an option to use an alternative DNS for particular domains (see "using special servers" from the documentation [http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/docs/setup.html|this here]). We can specify that the Amahi DNS uses the Google or OpenDNS servers instead of unblock-us.com for MySB requests. step 1. choose DNS server - I used GoogleDNS (8.8.8.8) but this should work with OpenDNS as well 208.67.222.222 (optional step 1a. You may wish to make a copy of the dnsmasq.conf file before editing. Type in terminal: sudo cp /etc/dnsmasq.conf /etc/dnsmasq.conf.old} step 2. add a custom setting to your dnsmasq.conf file using terminal:'''
In a terminal on the HDA do the following:<!--Type 'yum install perl-CPAN' and accept all the prompts sudo vi /etc/dnsmasq.conf
Type 'cpan' and accept all defaults (configuring cpan takes a while)Page down to the very end of the file, then press "i" to insert new text:
At the cpan prompt type 'force install CGI::Cookie'<code>server=/mysqueezebox.com/8.8.8.8</code>
Leave cpan Press esc to exit editing mode, then :w to write to the file, :q to save it and you're done! I restarted the DNS server using the Amahi control panel as well. You can test by typing 'quit'directing your browser to update.mysqueezebox.com -->Install CPAN module (accept defaults):{{Code|cpancpan install CGI::Cookie}}Start squeezeserver:{{Code|/etc/initit should show a directory.d/squeezeboxserver start}}
