With LMS installed, perl will not upgrade to the latest (version 5.28), because LMS requires version 5.26.

I worked around this by doing the following:

  1. uninstall LMS (after backing up /opt/logitechmediaserver/prefs)
  2. do the normal pacman/yaourt/pacaur update, which will replace perl v5.26 with v5.28.
  3. edit PKGBUILD to reflect the perl version requirement
  4. build LMS, install, restore prefs

It seems to work fine.

Thanks, oalexander & stef.an.

Yesterday I could install perl-net-upnp ignoring the architecture (makepkg -Acsi). Then I could install logitechmediaserver.

I just tested running the server and it works !

I had to follow thomassh's advice and install polkit (pacman -S polkit).

It looks like perl-net-upnp has been removed from the official repos and the aur package doesn't have the arm flag. Currently you can either manually install perl-net-upnp by adding arch=armv7h or remove the dependency from this package if you don't use upnp. I'll try to find a solution apsap.

I believe that perl-net-upnp is in AUR as well. You will have to install it first before logitechmediaserver

Did someone installed this package on ARM ? While trying to install the perl-net-upnp package (dependency) I get the error:

$ makepkg -si ==> ERROR: perl-net-upnp is not available for the 'armv7h' architecture.

==> ERROR: An unknown error has occurred. Exiting...

Is there any way to solve this ?

My hardware is a Wandboard Quad.

I just decided to update the rather old arch installation on my media server, which I rarely dare doing as updating e.g. LMS usually isn't completely painless and this time is no exception, however it wasn't too bad :-)

So just to let you know, it sems that you are lacking a dependency on "polkit" and maybe the "json-c" version. The detailed story goes like this:

After upgrading to LMS 7.9.1, which also turned out to depend on an AUR build of perl-net-upnp) it failed to start due to an error "bla. bla. freedesktop bla. bla. Polkit1" - unfortunately the exact error message has left my console history. However, after some googling I decided to do a "pacman -S polkit" and that did the trick.

Alas, I was not there yet. The logitechmediaserver service now failed to start due to the error:

slimserver.pl[458]: The following modules failed to load: EV JSON::XS

Frustrating at first, as I thought that my system was completely up to date at this point, however that turned out not to be true, so "pacman -Syu" made everything work like a charm. I think that this indicates that you also are missing a dependency on a "JSON thingy" in the package - it may be "json-c" version but I'm not completely sure.

Have built and installed arch3 on x64 and can still scan as expected. Have never used LMS for anything other than audio so that's fine by me for now. Thanks for the work on this guys. Ian
