App Fix for Squeezebox Server Upgrade

Logitech Media Server (formerly 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.


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

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.
