A little more clarification on New Song Notifications. SLX will receive a message from the LMS server when a new song is played that looks like this example: RCV (Telnet): 90:2b:34:53:ce:43 playlist newsong Indie Folk Revival Radio 0 The "playlist newsong" message does not necessarily contain the new track information. So SLX has to query the server as to what the track, artist, album info is. This is a sequence of three commands sent to the server that look like this. 8/1/2018 7:12:32am RCV (Telnet): 90:2b:34:53:ce:43 playlist newsong Indie Folk Revival Radio 0 8/1/2018 7:12:32am SND (Json): 90:2b:34:53:ce:43 "title", "?" 8/1/2018 7:12:32am RCV (Json): 90:2b:34:53:ce:43 "_title":"Gold" 8/1/2018 7:12:32am SND (Json): 90:2b:34:53:ce:43 "artist", "?" 8/1/2018 7:12:32am RCV (Json): 90:2b:34:53:ce:43 "_artist":"Wake Owl" 8/1/2018 7:12:32am SND (Json): 90:2b:34:53:ce:43 "album", "?" 8/1/2018 7:12:32am RCV (Json): 90:2b:34:53:ce:43 "_album":"Wild Country " Usually this all happens within a second or two. I suppose though the speed is dependent on local conditions, server and network loading. I have seen a case on my machine where notifications didn't always appear on top, but I can't reproduce it. As for using Telnet, that is the Command Line Interface provided by the Logitech Media Server and that is already there and running on your LMS right now. You can read about the CLI by opening the main browser page, clicking Help, then Technical Information, the Command Line Interface. I use a library included with my development environment called Indy. I don not consider much anything about Logitech Media Server secure. Nothing is encrypted, and even if the server is password protected, it is still vulnerable. Therefore most people advise, do not open LMS to the internet via port forwarding. Anyway, regardless of what library I use to implement a Telnet interface, the bigger concern is the server. I would consider it vulnerable to many forms of attack, but it is a very low value target and behind a firewall, so I do not worry about it.
