Installing MusicIP Mixer on Debian 8.6 64-bit
In order to have automatic music mixing on a Logitech Media Server (former Slimserver...), now a days you'll need the Music IP Mixer x86 installed. Running that beast on a 64-bit Debian 8.6 requires a bit of configuration.
First; make your platform support x86 (32-bit) binaries:
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libgcc1:i386
Now, download the MusicIP software, version 1.8 from the Spicefly Sugarcube homepage:
I then created a user for the MusicIP software, to keep things separated:
sudo user-add -m --system musicip
Now, in the software bundle for Linux, there is an init script called mmserver --
just copy that one to /etc/init.d make it owned by root, and change the username therein
to musicip and the music home to /home/musicip/MusicMagicMixer/ (remember the trailing slash).
You can now start the MusicMagicMixer with:
/etc/init.d/mmserver start
It prints a wee bit on the terminal, but all is good. On all interfaces MusicMagicMixer is now responding to port 10002. You can point your browser to it, and you'll have a fine web UI. You can make it even finer if you download and install the Spicefly Sugarcube MusicIP replacement UI: MusicIP Replacement UI.
Please support software, buy your license to Spicefly Sugarcube: SugarCube Licensing.
