My post above was tongue in cheek, I was just pointing out the fact that it seems absurd to have a music server (Volumio), and offer a plugin to install a far superior music server (LMS). :confused::rolleyes::D To explain: last night I installed Volumio on a spare Raspberry Pi, (with a few albums on an attached USBstick) easy enough, and although the interface is pleasant enough, see pic below, (several backgrounds to choose from), the only menu items you can choose from for local music are Artists, Albums & Genres. 30109 There's a plugins section where you can install LMS, which I did, see pic from my last post above. Clicking "open the LMS webconsole" takes you to the familiar default LMS web gui and the new server startup wizard. After filling in the music and playlist folders, it started a scan of the music files on the Volumio Pi USBstick. Select a player from the drop down box and play some music. LMS version is 7.9.1. This morning on opening the Volumio web interface, I cannot find the screen that allows you to open the LMS webgui, nothing, after 45 minutes of fruitless opening every possible menu item I decided to open the webgui on my usual LMS, under Extras > Music source you can select "Volumio". 30110 So really LMS is installed as a separate standalone music server, Volumio has no further connection to this LMS instance? Just use <IPaddress of your Volumio Pi>:9000/Default (*or Material, pic below*) to connect and play music from the attached USBstick, or SSD or mounted NAS, or whatever. ??? 30111 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: volumioLMS3.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=30111| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ *Server - LMS 8.0.0 *Pi4B 4GB/Flirc case/pCP 6.0.0 18K library, playlists & LMS cache on SSD (ntfs) *Study -* Pi3B+/pCP 5.0.0/pi screen/HiFiBerry DAC+/jivelite, *Lounge* - Pi2/pCP 5.0.0 > HiFiBerry DIGI+ > AudioEngine DAC1 > AVI DM5 *Dining Room* - Squeezebox Boom *Garage* - Squeezebox Touch > Edifier R980T *Spares* - 1xTouch, 1xSB3, 1xRadio, 7xRPi ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kidstypike's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10436 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112042 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
