Arch Linux User Repository

On a different machine but still latest manjaro, LMS builds and works perfectly. Curious, I went back to the machine which failed and it now builds and runs LMS. Some update somewhere must have fixed things.

@stef.an: Thanks for maintaining this, I'd be happy to help if needed.

@wes33 Depending on the version of perl that is installed in your Manjaro setup, it might be the case that slimserver-vendor is too new. In my patch below, I just updated to the very latest version since it seems to work fine on a vanilla arch install. You could try the following patch to the PKBUILD, which will use the previous release:

I'm kind of "investigating" this but I need a Manjaro VM first... not sure if the distro is the problem though.

@jazzi - thanks for that but does not work for me; docker container is a simple solution though I'd still rather run LMS "natively". The AUR package used to work and maybe will again someday :)

@wes33 Regarding the CPAN modules, the LMS author Michael indicates:

"Get a copy of https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver-vendor/tree/public/8.4/CPAN and try to follow the README. That's what I'll eventually do to add support for the next Perl/platform combination."

On a just installed Manjaro, the package builds but fails to run with:

The following CPAN modules were found but cannot work with Logitech Media Server: Image::Scale (loaded 0.08 but missing object file, need 0.08)

Hi, I've updated the package. Since I don't actively use LMS anymore, I'm not aware of such breaking updates, so thanks for the heads up and the patch! Feel free to contact me if you'd like to adopt the package, the reason I don't orphan it is because I'm afraid it will die if I do...

Okay, the solution was to update the version of slimserver-vendor to 8.4. Here's the diff for anyone who is interested. I'll flag this as outdated.

Now back to the music.

Hello there, LMS isn't working for me following the upgrade to perl 5.38.0-1. I've done a clean rebuild, but see the following on startup:

The following modules failed to load: XML::Parser::Expat YAML::XS Sub::Name

(A similar error was reported below, but I do have wget installed.)

While rebuilding, I also see the following errors related to the bundled FFMPEG:

I've also tried version 8.3.1 of LMS (released on Feb 17th 2023) but see the same error. (I haven't tried logitechmediaserver-git, but would prefer to use the stable release.)
