@Joulinar
Thanks you reply ，maybe I knew where is the problem.
I successfully renamed squeezelite, used new path.

nano /etc/systemd/system/squeezelite.service

Should be:
nano /lib/systemd/system/squeezelite.service

#refresh service
systemctl daemon-reload

#Restart services
dietpi-services restart

Hi,

well you could have used dietpi-services to manage/change Squeezelite service configuration as described on our user documents viewtopic.php?p=1009#p1009

As far as I can see on your screen print, you already use a dietpi-service drop-in configuration file for Squeezelite. So quite easy to manage

Hi Joulinar,

I know what you mean, and thanks for you kindness.

I have used dietpi-services modify squeezelite, but failed, because when I entry dietpi-sevices to edit name, windows drag me into a uncorrespond path, see my attached. So i has been unsuccessful .

I am not sure if its a bug, because I used other Linux image update to dietpi, rather than download dietpi provide official image for odroid.
Thanks for you great job, dietpi help me a lot.

this all is fully correct as it is

Basically you will have 2 config files if you use dietpi-service to add/change anything.

1. /lib/systemd/system/squeezelite.service
   • this is the original config file and should not be touched
2. /etc/systemd/system/squeezelite.service.d/dietpi-services_edit.conf
   • using dietpi-service will create a drop-in config file
   • it will overwrite content from the original config file during service start
   • all changes should be done on this drop-in config file
   • this way, you can protect custom entries if the original config file will be overwritten (software re-installation or update)
   • on the drop-in config file you would need to modify the ExecStart as follow, add an empty ExecStart= and remove # in front of ExecStart as well

     Code: Select all

     [Service]
     #User=squeezelite
     ExecStart=
     ExecStart=/usr/bin/squeezelite -a 4096:1024:16:0 -C 5 -n 'DietPi1234'

   • similar is described on our user doc viewtopic.php?p=1009#p1009
   • leaving dietpi-service editor should reload and restart the service
   • running systemctl cat squeezelite.service will give you full content of your service file
   • there you will see 2 blue lines, representing both config files. Already shown on your first screen print

Gain knowledge, I reinstalled squeezelite, edited dietpi-services follow you instructions, add new
Execstart=, delete # , successes! Forgive me, I'm a novice

[Joulinar]

good that we could solve it that way.
