Upgrade Logitech Media Server
My ReadyNAS 516 is running 6.4.1-T21 (beta version). The Logitech Media Server App I'm running has version 1.06 and is maintained by Poussin I believe. The Logitech Media Server interface tells me there's an update.
And that's probably right. The 1.06 version by Poussin is based on 7.7.3 version of Logitech. I can download the 7.7.5 version for Debian, but I don't think that's a wise thing to do. Not sure if it will install anyways.
What is the way to go on this? Just wait for Poussin?
Is this package being maintained at all?
In a similar case I wanted to update the Plex server software which I could just download at the Plex site.
Has Logitech stopped support for the 'new' line of ReadyNASses and is that the reason Poussin had to repackage/rebuild the software?
Okay, found _some_ answers to my own questions over here.
I installed the packages from the command line using 'dpkg -i'.
First I ran into a problem with the leafp2p package, but adding the start-stop initV section as mentioned here did the trick for that.
When trying to install lms_1.0.8_all.deb I got warnings that /lib/ld-linux.so.2 was about to get overwritten (!!)
Somehow Poussin put that file in the LMS package while it is also in the libc6-i386 package. Perhaps I lack some knowledge, but to me putting these kinds of files in your own package isn't very wise.
I did this:
root@truck /root# ll /lib/ld-linux.so.2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Feb 6 2015 /lib/ld-linux.so.2 -> /lib32/ld-linux.so.2* root@truck /root# ll /lib32/ld-linux.so.2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Feb 6 2015 /lib32/ld-linux.so.2 -> ld-2.19.so* root@truck /root# ll /lib32/ld-2.19.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 134308 Feb 6 2015 /lib32/ld-2.19.so*
and copied /lib32/ld-2.19.so to a safe location, just in case the symlinks were being followed by dpkg. (I'm not too familiar with Debian)
Installed lms_1.0.8_all.deb with 'dpkg --force-overwrite -i' and restored the original situation afterwards (symlinks weren't followed)
root@truck /root# cd /lib root@truck /lib# mv ld-linux.so.2 ld-linux_lms_1.0.8.so.2 root@truck /lib# ln -s /lib32/ld-linux.so.2 ld-linux.so.2 root@truck /lib#
The Logitech Media Server was showing up again after these actions. Telling me the version was 1.0.8 on the ReadyNAS interface. Telling me it is 7.8.1 on the Logitech Media Server interface on port 9000.
