SqueezePlug

Hi folks,

GREAT NEWS!

I’m very happy to tell you that SqueezePlug for Raspberry Pi (Beta) is ready for download.

SqueezePlug Media-Server version 4.08b1 for Raspberry Pi is based on the existing and very famous versions of SqueezePlug for other ARM based devices like SheevaPlug, Dockstar and GoFlex Net.

I did some hard work to get it running on such a tiny device, but now it’s working great and with a good performance. I ran it for 2 days now stable and have no issues.

SqueezePlug for Raspberry Pi offers the same set of features like the versions for all other devices. So SqueezePlug for Raspberry Pi has a lot of very cool features:

SqueezePlug is a platform for different Media-Servers:
- Logitech Media Server (f.k.a. Slimserver, SqueezeBox Server)
- MiniDLNA
- Mediatomb
- Twonky
- TVMobili

All these servers are ready to install by a click.

Included features are:
- Support for wireless USB-Sticks
- SqueezeSlave (Media Player running on RPi with no additional HW) Server and player on the same device
- Option to install a SqueezeSlave “Stand Alone Player”
- Scripts for all SqueezePlug configurations
- Samba Server already included

The installation is based on the Debian distribution (debian6-19-04-2012.img). The kernel and all packages are up to date. There is no X-Server or other graphic things installed. They are completely removed. The intention of SqueezePlug is to run a headless Media-Server. So SSH is installed and activated. All you have to do is this:

1. Download, unzip and burn the sd-card
2. Start the Pi and find out the IP-Address (e.g. from an attached monitor or from your router).
3. login with user: root and pw: nosoup4u
4. Choose Raspberry Pi from the initial screen.
5. Reboot the RPi by typing: shutdown -r now
6. Connect again and type: setup
7. Choose the options you need and the scripts will do the rest for you.

Hi folks,

I’ve got my Rasperry PI today and got LMS working! Next days I’ll try to get the complete Squeezeplug Project working!

Have fun,

Hi folks, a new patch for all devices is  available

• This patch corrects the Media-Server Install Script
• LMS will be installed in version 7.7.2 by default
• The de-installation script for LMS is corrected
• A new item “Server-Info” is added to the Misc-Menue

Install this patch from the SqueezePlug update routine: Setup>Misc>Update-SP.

Have fun,

Hi folks,

I’ve bought the Raspberry PI this morning. I’ll try to get SqueezePlug running on this device after arrival. I’ve also downloaded the Debian Squeeze Image. SqueezePlug also uses Debian Squeeze, so I think it should not be a big thing to get it to work!

I hope the device will arrive soon.

Have fun,
Thomas

Hi Folks,

if you like to run a portable version of SqueezePlugVM you can download a protable version of VirtualBox here: http://www.vbox.me. With this version of VirtualBox you are able to test SqueezePlug without installing anything. I think it’s a very cool feature!

Have fun,
Thomas

This patch is for compatabily with the new VM-Version.

This patch also changes the install routine for SqueezeBox-Server to install the MediaSever version 7.7.0.
