As far as I know there haven't been any official or unofficial indications if Logitech plans to release a 10.0 version of LMS or if they have just kept the compatibility with Squeezeboxes in it to make it easier to backport bug corrections to the 7.8 version. The fact that they jumped from 7.x to 10.x is probably an indication that they aren't sure about it yet themselves. The 10.0 version comes with two start scripts: - ueml.pl : Starts it in UE Music Library mode with a lot of functionality disabled an only support for UE Smart Radio devices enabled - slimserver.pl : Starts it in backward compatibility mode with support for both Squeezebox and UE Music Library devices. If started in slimserver.pl mode, you still can't use the full functionality from a UE Smart Radio device, the full functionality is only available to Squeezebox devices in this mode, the UE Smart Radio devices are still limited to what's available in the ueml.pl mode as far as I've seen. agillis wrote: > > Since this the full version is not in the nightly builds I built an RPM > version for VortexBox.

We should probably not expect a lot of feedback from Logitech employees on it but I still think they are thankful for any bugs reported on it because I don't think they have much own test resources focusing on testing it towards old Squeezeboxes, they probably focus most of their internal 10.0 testing towards UE Smart Radio devices at the moment. I suspect the nightly builds for the 10.0 version starts in ueml.pl mode but I haven't tried it myself, the nightly builds can as usual be found at: http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96575 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
