Vortexbox – Google Music Plugin – No sound

Dustin Sterkenburg · May 13, 2015

I was able to setup the Google Music Plugin on my VortexBox and see all of my music in the browse nodes, but whenever I tried to play anything all I would get was ‘dead air’.

I saw the following error in the server log: Code:


Slim::Control::Request::execute (1888) Error: While trying to run function coderef \[Slim::Control::Commands::playlistJumpCommand\]: \[Can't call method "isa" on an undefined value at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor\_perl/Slim/Player/Squeezebox.pm line 762.\]

After looking around, I have stumbled across the solution to my issue: To fix, first SSH into your VB and run the following command: Code:


nano /usr/lib/perl5/vendor\_perl/Slim/Player/ProtocolHandlers.pm

Now scroll down and find the “%protocolHandlers” section and add the following line of code: Code:


https => qw(Slim::Player::Protocols::HTTP),

Now, save and exit the file. Restart your VortexBox and you should be all set.

Happy listening!
