Allen, I've been half following your problem, I run Mac OS 10.14 Mojave and believe you're on 10.15 Catalina so cannot specifically help you, but I downloaded and installed LMS and had it running for the first time ever on my Mac, no problems, in less than 5 minutes. So your issues are very specific to *your* and possibly *Catalina* setup. You seem to be bouncing around between the different versions of LMS, so I'll clarify them as I understand them - I suggest you select the one that suits your needs going forward and stick with that... 7.7.6 - The last official Logitech release before they stopped ongoing development of the product (last update to this version released back in 2018 by Michael, I believe) 7.9.2 - Michael Herger's continued development of the product, stable and fully released from beta by him (14 January 2020) 7.9.3 - Michael Herger's continued development of the product, pretty stable but beta with bug fixes and some minor developments going forward 8 - Michael Herger's continued development of the product, *beta*, adds support for streaming service integration with local files, potentially unstable Links to the versions and their changelogs were posted by Michael here: https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?98711-Logitech-Media-Server-Versions and missing from Michaels post the direct 7.9.2 link is here: http://downloads.slimdevices.com/LogitechMediaServer_v7.9.2/ I strongly suggest these are the only locations you download LMS from are those I use 7.9.2 on my "live" system (Raspbery Pi based server) as I want stable and do not use any music streaming service. To answer your specific 64 bit question, according to the changelogs Version 7.7.3 dated 21/8/2013 : Make the OSX PrefPane 64-bit compatible. I've not looked on your other thread(s) for a while, but a couple of points there that stuck out for me... LMS installed on a Mac - there is no App in the Applications folder, so it can look like it's not installed, but it may well be... LMS service/application control on Mac OS is via System Preferences, at the bottom of the System Preferences are the Third Party Preference Panes, after installation LMS Preference Pane should appear there. You seem to think your problem is install, I'm not so sure, perhaps the install is OK but LMS then fails to run, if that's the case there will be log file entries that should help further diagnose the problem, I think via the aforementioned preference pane If I remember correctly quite a few forum members pointed you towards threads/posts regarding permissions in Catalina that need tweaking to allow LMS to run correctly on Catalina, if LMS has installed this maybe you next point of call. However, my advice for you going forward is to make sure you engage with Michael (mherger), he maintains LMS and is super helpful, respond to his questions and advice in a timely manner, and be patient waiting for him to respond - this is not his day job anymore and also try not to deviate from where he is guiding you as I'm sure he'll get you there, you seem pretty confused by it all at the moment and as Michael says "going in the wrong direction too fast" Hope this helps Kind Regards Kev ------------------------------------------------------------------------ KeBul's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32883 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112691 _______________________________________________ Boom mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/boom
