I'm reposting the text from this thread here as I think it's going to get lost in the firmware release announcement thread... ADMIN if you disagree,  please step in and take this out:


 Hello .... I've upgraded to 1.3 ... it looks to be working fine,  but for some reason I've lost the local squeezelite player it will not start... I get this in the log:

**** 2024-01-17T01:09:56
**** Squeezelite (ralph)

Start Player: cd /var/www;_NAME="Basement Stereo" _OUTPUT="hw:0,1" _FORMAT="pcm" _OPTIONS="" _MIPV4="24:4f:4f:24:08:8c" /var/www/players/Squeezelite-ralph/init /var/www/players/Squeezelite-ralph 2>&1;/var/www/players/Squeezelite-ralph/start /var/www/players/Squeezelite-ralph 2>&1;


I started with 1.8 .... and installed ralph   ....   I've stopped and restarted it a few times and REST,  finally shows that its running,   but I don't see it on LMS or in top

-----    I take that back it shows not running .......   so ok,  When I try to run squeezelite from the cmd line i get:

/var/www/players/Squeezelite-v1.8$  ./squeezelite -n basement -o hw:0,1

squeezelite: dl-call-libc-early-init.c:37: _dl_call_libc_early_init: Assertion `sym != NULL' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)


I swear ,  the only thing i did was run the fw update script ---

also,  this is on ubuntu 20.04 ... that has been running and updating snake oil for a couple years.

thanks for the help

Tim  #766 hours ago OK .... so further analysis on this problem til Agent Kieth gets back on line (prayers AK)   I've now got Snake Oil 1.30 running on my main music server box with Ubuntu 20.04 ...  and my backup server running Ubuntu 22.04 .   I've even gone so far as to switch hard drives between the boxes and repeat all my testing  (exact same hardware but just to be sure it wasn't an issue on my end with one of the bios)

Here is what I get:

Ubuntu 20.04

It shows squeezlite installed but it doesn't run at all.  It spits out a log that just gives me:

**** Squeezelite (ralph)

LMS is working beautifully on the other players  in my house i one of which is an on older version of Snake Oil Server.   which is working flawlessly throughout ... an is my main listening spot


Ubuntu 22.04

A little difference here.  It shows squeeze-lite running,  but is not actually giving me any sound.  I have tested this on the spidf outputs and the analog outputs and get nothing.  and again this server can play to the other players in the house


Both machines behaved the same in all of the configurations I tested them with,   no sound from on board analog or digital.  The only thing I didn't do was test USB.

I noticed in both situations when I restarted REST the alsa mixer system volume would be set to zero.  When I found this,  I thought for sure it would work,  but once adjusted back to 100% still no sound.


This is a real bummer,  but I will survive...  AK please take care of you and yours before dealing with this BS.  .......   If anyone wants to jump in here, any Ideas?

Apologies for MIA, 2 weeks flew by without me realising it.. Which version of LMS are u running right now? I have made:

Can you download this version of LMS and see if it works for you? (It did for me 2 weeks ago, but it's been two weeks). Pick the correct version you need (amd64 if you're using a PC or arm if you're using the Pi).

https://artifacts.snakeoil-os.net/player..._amd64.deb
https://artifacts.snakeoil-os.net/player...st_arm.deb
On both servers I'm running this version of LMS:

Version: 8.3.1 - 1676361197 @ Fri 17 Feb 2023 06:37:09 AM CET.

They work fine with ALL the things running squeezelite in my house except the squeezelite on the machines they are on, all of this since upgrading to 1.3

Are you saying,  just install that .deb over the top of the current LMS on one of those machines?

Tim

PS: AK,   Glad your back,  is everything OK where your at?  Brush fire threat calming down?

Tim

ok, I see.   I thought 8.1 was the newest, ----   just installed your version,   I see it's V 8.3.2~1702911674

Rebooting,  and going to test.  Be back with updates soon.

OK ... SO on the server running ubuntu 20.04   I have installed the current LMS as suggested.   But the problem seems still with squeezelite.   THE REST interface shows for a min or so that It runs,  then displays it's not running:

in the log I get-

**** Squeezelite (v1.8)

Start Player: cd /var/www;_NAME="Basement Stereo 1" _OUTPUT="hw:0,1" _FORMAT="dop" _OPTIONS="" _MIPV4="24:4f:4f:24:08:8c" /var/www/players/Squeezelite-v1.8/init /var/www/players/Squeezelite-v1.8 2>&1;/var/www/players/Squeezelite-v1.8/start /var/www/players/Squeezelite-v1.8 2>&1;

also ... I should add this has all been on te amd64  versions ... not ras-pi
I thought maybe there was an issue with permissions in squeezelite ... so I changed the squeezelite.1  in the www/scratch folder to 777 ....  it didn't do anything.

I'm going to reintall the 1.3 firmware to see if that helps anything

nope ... didn't do anything .... mostly because i assume it saw itself as being the current version already ... but was worth a try

I've run a full upgrade from 20.04 to 22.04 on the one machine.  squeezelite seems to stay running,  With the other box running 22.04 and connected to a USB dac I  need to connect this one to a stereo test furthur to see if the onboard digital and analog is working .
I take that back,  squeezlite does not stay running.  THis ia all since upgrading snakeoil.   What would happen if I ran the full install of Snake Oil again?
