English Applications

  1. Use yast2 to uninstall the rpm , you do not want to have this in root

  2. Download the source file something like logitechmediaserver-7.7.2.tgz

  3. Unpack into some folder under your home directory

  4. cd into this directory and open a console/terminal

  5. now run :

    perl slimserver.pl

    see what happens.

    Hopefully your perl installation has all it needs otherwise install
    any missing libraries see Installing Perl modules from CPAN - Learn how to install most Perl modules from CPAN in this tutorial.

    You might need to add some ports to your suse firewall setup

    use yast2 / security / firewall

    go to Allowed services and click on Advanced

    under TCP Ports you may need (besides what’s there) 3483 9000 9100
    under UDP Ports you may want 3483 631 9000 9100

    Press Ok, Next, Finish

    try to see if your server is connected now

    Ctrl-C kill if anything still running from the prev attempt
    or find it with ps ax|grep logi
    then kill (some pid number)

    In your terminal run:

    perl slimserver.pl --daemon

    Open a browser with this URL:
    http://127.0.0.1:9000/

    Hopefully you see the server interface , press settings and take it from there

    (You may need to log into one of the logitech services to set the squeezebox up)

    I am running this for many years on opensuse (starting with 9.2 and now on 11.4)

    Once all is running you can put the server startup line perl … into a script
    to have it autostart on reboot.

    Hope this gives you some pointers…
