After getting the `TLS handshake Error` from pianobar on Raspberry Pi running Debian Wheezy ( aka Raspbian ) I decided to get the latest version of Pianobar. This requires building from sourcecode if you’re on the Wheezy release.
The `TLS handshake Error` can basically be translated to mean “the version of pianobar you’re using is too old” – this is an error that occurs regularly and the solution is always to update to the latest edge version. Packges for Raspbian / Wheezy aren’t going to get updates fast enough for this to be a good option (i.e. to not interrupt your listening ) so you’ll need to build from source.
One of the requirements is basically to have ffmpeg ( it the libraries from it ) installed. Several people will suggest installing `ffmpeg` from source – which you can do – but if you’re using a “Raspberry Pi model B” and not the latest Raspberry Pi 2.0 – or even if you are – it will take a long time to build `ffmpeg` from source – maybe 6 hours or more.
If you go this route, and you’re doing it via SSH make sure to use something like `screen` to keep the process from dying if you get disconnected.
I didn’t want to install ffmpeg and found a good alternative – install the libraries from the backports.
Here’s a script – which is basically my notes from along the way. It is sloppy and has some duplication – created from trial and error – but it worked for me and the duplicate packages is not an issue with apt-get ( if one of them is already installed it will be skipped)
So, run as root or with sudo. Good luck – report issues on the PromyLOPh github page, or leave a comment if you have any adjustments or tweaks or improvements to the script.
