Instructions for running SlimServer on a Hifidelio wireless music server
(same for Olive Musica/Symphony) so that you can connect a Squeezebox:
Download the latest Linux build to your PC.
Transfer the SlimServer_xxx.tar.gz file to the Import directory on the
Hifidelio.
Enable telnet on the Hifidelio.
Disable UPnP (this clashes with port 9000) and reboot the Hifidelio.
Telnet on to the Hifidelio (default user name is root, password is root).
gunzip SlimServer_xxx.tar.gz
tar xf SlimServer_xxx.tar
rm SlimServer_xxx.tar
mv SlimServer_xxx /usr/local/slimserver
ln -s /usr/bin/perl /usr/local/bin/perl
To run the SlimServer:
/usr/local/slimserver/slimserver.pl --daemon
Ignore the warnings about the XML:Parser
Add the above command line to /etc/rc.local so that slimserver will start
automatically when you start the Hifidelio.
You should now be able to connect to
http://hifideliopro:9000 - you will
need to go to the server settings and set the music directory to
/audio/music - it will then start scanning and building the library.
