Logitech Media Server won't start

Postby will74 » Fri Oct 17, 2014 2:00 pm

Hello,

First, thank you everyone for all of the help I have found on this forum as I have a blast using my pogoplug with ALARM.

I am currently trying to install both squeezelite and squeezebox (using the excellent tutorial here: http://blog.qnology.com/2013/03/tutoria ... linux.html) to play music using the USB DAC I have attached. I installed squeezelite and it is running and appears to be working, however the logitech media server won't run. When I start the logitech media server, it appears to just stop immediatly as can be seen from running the status below.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[root@will-server ~]# systemctl start logitechmediaserver
[root@will-server ~]# systemctl status logitechmediaserver -l

From the note, and from searching around on google, I think what it is trying to tell me is that I need to build a compatible version of perl on my system, however I was unable to figure out a way to do this. Am I correct in what I need to do to fix this problem? If not, does anyone have any idea what the issue I am having is?

Thank you in advance for any help that you may provide! Let me know if there is any other information that might be needed to help with this issue.
