Hi, I just switched my OS from Ubuntu to Fedora22 and I have now spent many hours trying to get my music system back online. :-/
If I download the rpm from
http://downloads.slimdevices.com/Log...0-1.noarch.rpm and then install it with:
[root@excession]~# rpm -U ~rich/Downloads/logitechmediaserver-7.8.0-1.noarch.rpm
Point your web browser to http://excession.local:9000/ to configure Logitech Media Server.
but nothing is listening on port 9000.
Trying to start it, either by systemctl or simply with,
[root@excession]~# /etc/init.d/squeezeboxserver start
Starting squeezeboxserver (via systemctl): [ OK ]
and it says it has started, but again, nothing is running.
After I eventually found the binary (in /usr/libexec/squeezeboxserver (wtf!?)), and tried invoking it directly, I got this:
[root@excession]~# /usr/libexec/squeezeboxserver
The following CPAN modules were found but cannot work with Logitech Media Server:
Audio::Scan (loaded 0.93 but missing object file, need 0.93)
Image::Scale (loaded 0.08 but missing object file, need 0.08)
XML::Parser:
Parser.pm and Expat.pm versions don't match at /usr/share/squeezeboxserver/CPAN/XML/Parser.pm line 20.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/share/squeezeboxserver/CPAN/XML/Parser.pm line 22.
Compilation failed in require at (eval 99) line 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 99) line 1.
To fix this problem you have several options:
1. Install the latest version of the module(s) using CPAN: sudo cpan Some::Module
2. Update the module's package using apt-get, yum, etc.
3. Run the .tar.gz version of Logitech Media Server which includes all required CPAN modules.
If have now spent many hours on each of those three options:
1. cpan Audio::Scan seemed to work. (After running that, trying to start the server no longer complained about that module.) But the next one, "cpan Image::Scale" just resulted loads of vomit being spewed to my terminal ending with something like Result: FAIL.
2. I would love to use yum to update the module's package, but _what_ module and _what_ package?
3. I tried downloadng and running the .tar.gz from
http://downloads.slimdevices.com/Log...rver-7.8.0.tgz but when I run it I get exactly the same error as with the rpm installation:
[root@excession]/opt/logitechmediaserver-7.8.0# ./slimserver.pl

Which is weird since the I thought the whole point of the "CPAN" version of the tarball was that it didn't rely on any other Perl crap that might have infested your system.
If someone can give me some pointers on how to get this thing running, I'd be extremely grateful.
