The word is "flawless" :)

I was in the process of answering all the questions when I got a message
on my PC that an update of the media server was available. After the
install, the web interface now works.

Just for the record: OS Windows 7; using CHROME (though same issue with
IE and Firefox): LMS is running OK (able to use my music library on my
PC and play files via a Squeezebox Touch connected to my Creek amp);
Firewall and AV settings OK (the web interface worked fine prior to LMS
7.9.1); browser and LMS running on the same PC

Re: [slim] What are your long-term SqueezeBox solutions?

2018-04-20 Thread Dogberry2

So far, I've had no deaths in the family, as all of my various
Squeezeboxen just keep on truckin'—2 Duets, 2 Touches, 2 Radios, 3
Booms. When the day comes that I have to start replacing units, I'll see
what is available on eBay, perhaps, or start switching over to Raspberry
Pi units. But what's the word on Pi-based players and synchronization? I
really have to have good, solid sync between players; I very often have
music playing in different parts of the house, and want to be able to
keep that functionality. It would be extremely painful to lose that. Do
the Pi players maintain good sync, or will I have to worry about that?

Re: [slim] What are your long-term SqueezeBox solutions?

2018-04-20 Thread JeffHart

I've been lucky, most of my gear is 9 years old, have only had to
replace PSU for one duet receiver, fortunately that's working fine. 
Long term, I would love to go with Chromecast Audio due to size and
cost, if the sync issue can be addressed. Not HiFi, but unfortunately, I
can't really hear the difference anymore.  Otherwise will go to
Raspberry PI.  Currently running LMS on one and very happy, using
Max2Play - arbitrarily started with that and its working fine so stayed
with it.

Replacing the radios and the boom will be more challenging - their are
some Android boomboxes out there, so if/when I run into needing to
replace them, would see what's out there before building an RPi
replacement.

There's an option source option that's not ready for prime time yet, but
worth keeping an eye on.  Mycroft AI is an open source AI client that
doesn't keep your data (you can opt in to allow it be used for
diagnostic/improvements).  Designed to run on Raspberry PI or in Linux. 
Been playing with it, but haven't had time to start working on an LMS or
Spotify skill yet.  Company behind it plans to generate revenue by
selling smart speakers, the software is available as open source.
