LMS suddenly says it needs updated browser - across many computers and platforms

Size:  129.1 KBHi. I'm running LMS on a Linux Mint box and have been for many months - on this box with this LMS version and Linux Mint 17. I have not updated Mint because invariably some update will break the version of LMS I am running - and since it's on a home server with no access to the Internet the updates aren't necessary (at the moment I don't use the server for anything other than to play music via LMS/Squeezebox).

I have been using this configuration with various desktops and laptops running Windows 7, Windows Vista, Linux Mint, Debian, etc. and until about an hour ago everything was fine. Then when I tried to get access to the Squeezebox interface via a Web browser I was informed I needed a "modern" browser such as (it listed a bunch - but did not specify the problem).

The software and browsers on the desktops and laptops are up-to-date. For this to suddenly happen across all machines - amazes/baffles me.

Now, on every computer than ran LMS fine 2-3 hours ago I get the same scaled-down interface - it looks bad and doesn't work so well, either. The colors are gone - I have no idea what happened.

And for whatever reason I cannot upload a screen shot. OK, never mind. I got a screenshot to upload.



I just downloaded and installed logitechmediaserver_7.7.6~1467272283_all.deb from the nightly build location. Still get the same mostly black-and-gray interface which is missing things such as the "search" function box in the left window.

I have been running LMS for more than a decade, since it was Slimserver; I ran it at first on Fedora because the initial Ubuntu version of LMS crashed constantly.

NOTE: I just updated all Linux Mint packages - still have the problem.

Any ideas will be appreciated. Thanks.
