Logitech media server page issues Pc#
This command sets the ownership of all files on the USB hard disk to pi instead of root enabling me to use FileZilla and gFTP to copy files from a remote PC to the Raspberry Pi. Or in my specific case sudo umount ~/media/usb-driveĪnd then mount sudo mount /dev/sda1 ~/media/usb-drive -o uid=pi -o gid=pi To mount the hard disk use the following general command is used: mount device mount-point -o uid=foo -o gid=foo To solve this problem I had to first unmount and mount the USB hard disk. At this point it was impossible to change ownership and permissions with chmod and chown from the media server. The reason is a bit technical and maybe confusing but I had used the Windows FAT filesystem for the USB hard disk and when I mounted it on my Linux laptop (Puppy Linux distribution), ownership of all files was changed by Puppy Linux to root. In the past I couldn’t set the ownership for the USB hard disk on the Raspberry Pi. Read this if you (like me) run into problems with file ownership on your Raspberry Pi. Later I also used the scp command (Linux, OSX) in the terminal and simply copy the music files on my PC to the music folder on my Raspberry Pi powered LMS. They have basically the same functionality but gFTP is not available for Windows while FileZilla is available for GNU/Linux, OSX and Windows.

The software that I’m using is either FileZilla or gFTP. FTP is a network protocol to transfer files between a client and a server. I decided to use FTP to transfer files over the network to the Raspberry Pi. For adding new albums this proved to be be a clumsy method and I quickly found myself looking for an alternative. At first I unmounted the USB hard disk from the LMS, removed it and connected it to the laptop and copied the albums. Now about moving the encoded files to the LMS. A simple example is that album art is added to the file. The tagger completes the metadata on the music files which is very convenient when uploading the files to the LMS. It can also tag the files using CDDB but I use MusicBrainz Picard because does a much better job when it comes to tagging (in addition MusicBrainz can organize your digital music library). Asunder has a simple interface but it has many options can encode to many different formats. All the ripping is done using Asunder, a low resource ripper for Linux. When I buy a new CD I want to add it to my LMS. Adding, changing and deleting music files All software that I used for this project is free and open source.
Finally I provide a tip to debug problems with the Logitech Media Server. In this blogpost I’ll explain how I add and remove music files from the LMS and create a simple backup of your music files. In the meantime however I do need to maintain the LMS. I guess that eventually I have to replace the USB-HDD that I connected to the Raspberry Pi with a better one. What started as an experiment now has become a device I’m starting to rely on.
I’m using my Raspberry Pi based Logitech Media Server a couple of months and I’ve grown very fond of it. If you don't get a connection with the browser check if the Raspberry is listing to ports 9000, 90 with netstat -t -l.I wrote earlier about the Logitech Media Server (LMS), open source software that I’ve used to turn a Raspberry Pi into a music server for my Squeezebox devices.
Logitech media server page issues install#
Install missing dependencies and complete installation with apt -fix-broken install.ĭuring that process the following packages will be installed: libio-socket-ssl-perl libnet-libidn-perl libnet-ssleay-perl perl-openssl-defaultsĬonnect to the web-gui of LMS with a browser: IP:9000.

This is the file you want to download with wget. For RaspberriPi the arm architecture is necessary. UPDATE: In general, all versions can be found here. (I tried with last stable version 7.9.1 and was not able to reach the webGUI, that's why I recommend 7.9.2 nightly).
Logitech media server page issues password#
Change your password with passwd pi.ĭownload current stable or nightly version arm.deb with wget. Log into the Raspi using Putty with username pi and password raspberry. After the installation is complete, put a file on the boot partition that is named just ssh to activate SSH login. Install the IMG to a SD card with Win32 Disk Imager on Windows - if you use Windows.
