Strange thing going on, all my other plugins directories are OK, but the files are all -rw-r--r--

Code: [Select]
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 17987 Apr  8  2010 /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/AutoRescan/LICENSE

aha, so a simple chmod to 755 of this directory could do the trick?
I doubt that, it is owned by root, not sure why, but my guess it should not be root:root. Is squeezebox ran under apache? Is it run as a seperate process if so under what credentials?

There seems to go something wrong in the SqueezeBox Slimserver code. I think you are better off in slimdevices forums  at http://forums.slimdevices.com

I did, and it works :-)

One thing to note:
The wiki http://wiki.contribs.org/SqueezeBoxServer tells you to add a line of code after line 142 in the file  /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/Slim/bootstrap.pm . This is not line 142 anymore.

You should around line 148 find some code like
Code: [Select]
        # This works like 'use lib'
        # prepend our directories to @INC so we look there first.
        unshift @INC, @SlimINC;

And change this to
Code: [Select]
        # This works like 'use lib'
        # prepend our directories to @INC so we look there first.
        @INC = grep { $_ !~ /5\.8/ } @INC;
        unshift @INC, @SlimINC;
......

OK, also the line

Code: [Select]
yum --enablerepo=squeezecenter-release install squeezeboxserver
has to be changed to

Code: [Select]
yum --enablerepo=squeezecenter-release install logitechmediaserver
I did an install on a new SME 7.5.1 VMWare server. For me it even works without changing the bootstrap.pm file  :-?

DLNA streaming of movies straight to my Philips TV worked very well by the way! Also music streaming to the TV works quite well. Not that I will ever use it with the Squeezebox receiver next to it, but anyway.......
