Display of Tracks for Album Error

I recently migrated my server and have been playing with the new options in 7.9.1 in particular the Virtual Library functions and creating menu options. As a result I have been looking more closely at the displays and have noticed an oddity. Usually the artist is only added to the title of the track when the artist is not the same as the album artist however when the album artist includes & then it is added. So for example Elvis Costello & The Attractions is added to the track title but Elvis Costello and The Attractions is not.

LMS fails to run on xubuntu 17.10

It is my (possibly stupid) habit to keep all my systems well up to date. So I updated to xubuntu 17.10 today. LMS starts, but immediately fails with "Logitech Media Server died. Restarting" repeatedly.

I see nothing on the syslog.

How can I can more information from LMS to diagnose this given that I can't even change the log settings? I tried adding --diag to the startup but got no more on the LMS log.

rescanning media library problems - removing deleted files ??

Hi. First, thanks for all the work you do. I've never said that before although I've used LMS and its predecessor for more than a decade.

I run Linux Mint 17 and have installed LMS nightly build logitechmediaserver_7.9.1~1508251793_amd64.deb

This is what happens: LMS rescans the library every hour (per a cron job I set up in Mint). Mostly it goes fine but then it does what it is doing now:

It says "Rescanning Media Library ... Removing deleted files (1627 of 20) and this just seems to keep going even though, in the end, I don't think any files are actually deleted. But I could be wrong.

This happens fairly regularly but is sometimes interrupted when I update or reinstall the software.

I don't know what this means or what to do about it. I have a screenshot if you want to see it.

Clicking Settings and then the link to view scanning progress and then clicking on the "abort scan" feature does nothing.

Thanks.

Buffering problem

I have my Squeezebox Receiver / Controller combo for nearly 10 years. It worked flawless for years.

Recently I started having buffering issues with internet streams (Radio/Deezer).

For the last week my streams now buffer every 3-10 sec.

I also noticed issues when playing from my library, but not to the same extend as with internet streams. It just seems a bit slower to respond ...

I have tried everything I could think of ...

- rebooted router (no network issues) - I can play streams via softsqueeze without running into buffering issues.
- upgraded firmware (controller; not sure how to upgrade receiver - it is at 77).
- re-installed LMS 7.7.5
- upgraded LMS to 7.9.1
- reset receiver
- cleared preferences
- tweaked network buffer settings (default 3, changed to 10 /30)
- played streams via mysqueezebox

Not sure what else I could do ...

Any ideas?

What do they send? I could use the same.

One of the menu items I mentioned is one of the quick access items at
the bottom. Would that make a difference?

LMS Player Names in Settings/Advanced/File Types? Possible?

As transcoding rules aren't per-player, this doesn't make sense. If a
third party allows to do per-player settings, then it should be in that
plugin's responsibility to display this.

Anatomy of a Synology LMS .spk package

Following the discontinuation of the LMS Repack and LMS Update packages by Pinkdot, I tried to get a basic understanding of how the Synology packages are built and packed, and how it is possible to update them using the latest nightlies of LMS.

Though I did not have the time to get into the experimental phase, yet, I would like to share my discoveries, to hopefully help others who look for more understanding to move forward.

This is also to thank this great community for your support and enthusiasm!

Please let me know what you think and if this helps you. This is draft, so certainly there are errors and lots of room for improvement. Feedback how to improve is always welcome.

Missing flac to pcm on a remote URL in convert.conf

TBH: I don't know why it isn't there. Whether it's a technical
limitation, or just forgotten (lack of need at the time). The topic has
come up before, when I enabled FLAC streaming for Tidal. Please let me
know about your findings. It should be easy to add a custom-convert file
to enable it.

Another Windows 10 problem

I have my PC set up where i can switch OS drives easily. I have both a Windows 8.1 Ent SSD and a Windows 10 Pro drive, both are 64 bit OS. Logitech Media Server is working fine on the 8.1 OS, but i though Media Server is installed and appears to be running on the Win 10 OS, the Squeezebox cannot be found. All malware, antivirus and firewalls are turned off on the 10 OS but the player is not found (Squeezebox Duet). Any suggestions? (other than sticking with Win 8.1). :confused:

The folders of my media library are scanned incompletely

I have installed the Logitech Media Server (LMS) on Ubuntu 14.04 successfully after the recommendation described here:

http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.ph...stalling_7.9.1

Then I wrote the following into the terminal

Code:
sudo usermod -aG audio squeezeboxserver
Afterwards I wrote the following into the terminal

Code:
sudo addgroup lms
  sudo usermod -aG lms squeezeboxserver
  sudo usermod -aG audio carnap
Last but not least I did

Code:
chown -R carnap:lms media/raid/Musik
Basically the installation works well with, except one problem: When I want the LMS to scan the Musik folder the folders are scanned not correctly.
When I navigate to the music library (filder Musik) I notice that in many folders there is no audio file.

What could be the reason?

Is there a genius out there who can put together a working LMS7.9 QPKG for QNAP NAS?

October 30, 2017, 10:41 pm
$

Ever since QNAP upgrading to 64 bit firmware, support for LMS is much weakened. I can still manage to get it to play music (after some simple hack to copy some files to the "wrong" folder), but getting some plugins to work has become much more difficult (e.g. I can't get C3PO to work, and using Squeezelite as a DLNA device no longer works with flac, etc.). I understand that using docker (virtualization) works, but my older QNAP 469L doesn't support virtualization, so it's not an option for me. Another option is of course an external device running LMS, but that's another box and more clutter.

From what I understand (based on the very little that I know or understand), the problems seem to lie with the long un-maintained SSOTS and that LMS seems to look for various files in wrong folders since the QNAP firmware update. I have no idea whether this is something that a technically adept person (obviously not me) can easily fix, but I and I'm sure many QNAP owners would appreciate a easy to install LMS7.9 QPKG (installing 7.9 after the old factory 7.7 qpkg is already a little convoluted for a lot of people)

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Ok, LMS definitely is up. Do you have the firewall up?

No, by design: the disc field in the database is of "tinyint" type.
Which is 0-254.

HI and help

i'm trying to add a raspberry pi with logic media server to incorporate a multi room. I would like to incorporate this with the Linn Kazoo app so the raspberry pi can play in one room and a Linn DSM plays in another. everything is fine and the server is on the network but i can't see the LMS with the pi as another device to play music. Anyone out there achieved this? sorry really basic and want to speak to someone who speaks in a non technical manner :-)

Advice on disconnected server with Boom?

November 8, 2017, 11:57 am
$

I assumed this was going to be easy, since I’ve done it all locally for years at home, but so far I’m very frustrated.

I’m trying to create a standalone squeezeserver installation for my remote cabin. I have spotty internet there (1 bar LTE on my cell that I use as a hotspot). I have a boom I bring up there, but because of the connectivity it’s really really frustrating to use as it disconnects all the time, has lag, etc.

Basically, I want a small thing running SBS, connected via an ethernet cable, no router if possible, serving up local content. As a bonus, when I have reliable internet, I’d like it to connect. I don’t want to use a router unless I absolutely have to (More boxes to maintain)

I picked up a license from Max2Play, and put it on a Pi with touchscreen, but I’ve corrupted the SD card a few times, and don’t find it reliable at this point. Also, it’s really flakey without an internet connection. Power goes out, and it can’t find my Boom, or the Boom can’t find it, etc. Battery-backing up the Pi would probably go a ways to making it more reliable, so that’s an option.

I also have a Laptop/Desktop “thing” running Windows 10. It has a battery, 7” touchscreen, and 128GB local storage. I put Desktop SBS on there, but without a router, the Boom and the SBS can’t see each other (SBS binds either to localhost or the Wifi IP, and the Boom gets an Auto IP and can’t find the SBS. I haven’t figured out how to force the Desktop SBS to bind to the Ethernet AutoIP).

I’ve tried running DHCPD on Windows, but it’s not working either. The Boom doesn’t get an IP address for some reason. Not sure I have a decent DHCP server for Windows.

Does anyone have any advice here? Surviving power loss is a huge issue, as I’m still on Fuse box up there (!!) and constantly dropping power running power tools. :-)

Thanks!

How to downgrade a plugin?

> (How) is it possible to downgrade a plugin to a previous release if you
> find that an update breaks your setup?

Get in touch with its author:

- first of all to report the issue and ask him for a fix
- second to ask him where to get the old version

Because there's no one response to your question. Most authors probably
leave copies of the old files on their server. But some might remove them.

Switching between two LMS instances on the same network

I have two LMS 7.9 servers on the same network (one running on Windows, the other on Linux). I'd like the Linux server to act as a backup/failover for the Windows server. I have a bunch of clients:
- 2 Squeezebox Booms
- 1 Squeezebox Classic
- 1 Squeezeplay PC player
- 2 Squeezeplayer Android players

My question is: what do I need to do to switch a player from one LMS server instance to the other?
