Logitech Media Server Installation

Hi, @clap (Cláudio) :slight_smile:

To supplement the good answers that @nestorac and @mendy have already given you in this topic:

1 - You may want to check if the libcrypt-openssl-rsa-perl package got installed as intended (that package, per the output you've included, is a dependency for the logitechmediaserver_8.3.1_amd64.deb package) by running the following command:

sudo dpkg --status libcrypt-openssl-rsa-perl

In my case, that package is not installed, and so I get the following message:

dpkg-query: package 'libcrypt-openssl-rsa-perl' is not installed and no information is available
Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files.

If you get a message similar to that one (in your case, you'll probably get a message in Italian), then install that libcrypt-openssl-rsa-perl package first by running the following command:

sudo apt install libcrypt-openssl-rsa-perl

2 - To check what files (and their respective locations) will be / have been installed by installing the logitechmediaserver_8.3.1_amd64.deb package, run the following command in the same directory (folder) of that file:

dpkg --contents logitechmediaserver_8.3.1_amd64.deb

3 - Run the following command to confirm that the logitechmediaserver package got installed:

sudo dpkg --status logitechmediaserver

In my case, that package is also not installed, and so I get the following message:

`dpkg-query: package 'logitechmediaserver' is not installed and no information is available
Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files.

4 - If the logitechmediaserver package is still not installed in your computer, run the command to install it, by running the following command in the folder (directory) where you saved the logitechmediaserver_8.3.1_amd64.deb file:

sudo dpkg --install logitechmediaserver_8.3.1_amd64.deb

5 - I have never tried to install nor run "Logitech Media Server" (LMS), but you may want to check the following web pages:

(the first web page above adds the information that "Logitech Media Server is the new name for Squeezebox Server, starting with version 7.7")

Apparently, the installation of that logitechmediaserver package will start a web server in the computer where you installed it and it will be listening in port 9000. So you may want to try to use your web browser to access the "Logitech Media Server" Web interface at http://IP-address-of-your-computer:9000 (replace "IP-address-of-your-computer" by the IP address of your computer)

I hope this helps :slight_smile:
