Bug 357909 – media-sound/squeezeboxserver-7.5.2 broken

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Will Hall 2011-03-08 11:43:00 UTC]

The update to squeezeboxserver is (mostly) broken. - 3 problems

1. Cannot access any streaming media via url (radio stations, etc) - fails with:

Slim::Networking::Discovery::Players::_players_error (145) Unable to get players: Connect timed out: Transport endpoint is not connected

This happens even with ethernet connections. Media on disk is ok.

2. The plugins page on the web interface is not accessible - just hangs.

3. /etc/init.d/squeezeboxserver stop fails with 
   "ERROR: squeezeboxserver failed to stop"



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start squeezeboxserver
2. access localhost:9000 - then settings, Plugins tag
3. access any internet radio station. Nothing happens.
Actual Results:  
Crashes, no audio, error messages, you name it.

Expected Results:  
Music!

This is the last time I will upgrade squeezeboxserver. Every time there is no end of pain involved - this time nothing I do will get it working. Once I do get it working I'll lock the version down, and possibly even portage - it seems to be getting quite unstable these days.

media-sound/squeezeboxserver-7.5.2 was built with the following:
USE="aac flac lame (multilib) ogg -wavpack"

[Comment 3 Stuart Hickinbottom 2011-03-11 08:13:57 UTC]

Thanks for the report. Sorry you're having trouble.

We've just dropped a squeezeboxserver-7.5.3 ebuild into the tree which we believe fixes these problems (see bug#352753 for the details).

The easiest thing is to probably re-sync portage and try that later build. It's possible for us to fix that, but given 7.5.3 is now out I'm not sure of the value of that.

Joe, I think you could just patch that AnyEvent dependency line in and produce a 7.5.2-r1, but I've not tested that. Alternatively we could remove the 7.5.2 ebuild from Portage. 7.5.3 was released by Logitech only a few days after 7.5.2 so it's effectively a bug-fixed 7.5.2.

[Comment 4 Joe Peterson (RETIRED) 2011-03-11 15:06:30 UTC]

OK, I've removed 7.5.2.  Please open a new bug if there are similar problems with 7.5.3.
