Re: [slim] Squeezebox app on iOS 12 - Not working
I'll attempt this one. Others correct me I am wrong. If you're referring to the official Logitech app, then an update is unlikely. Consider a third party app like iPeng.

[slim] Squeezebox app on iOS 12 - Not working
After acquiring a new iPad, running iOS 12, I find that I can longer use the Squeezebox app. This is the message I get when I try to launch it: This app needs to be updated by the developer to work on this version of iOS. Is there an intention to get it working under iOS 12 ? I have found it a very useable app. mrw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38299 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109984 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

It's not just the display that goes dark? Does playback cut off in the middle of playing? Because it's a huge difference between a SB that crashes and one that fails to power its display whereas anything else is fine. The display power circuitry might have issues similar to the Boom. However, the fix that I have found for the Boom circuitry does not work properly in the Classic. I never had any Classic with this sort of failure though, so there are no advice yet.

Agree. My music collection is organized and currently consumes about 1/2 TB. Since there is no VPN connection, I was using thumb drives to transfer other files (photos, drawings, spreadsheets, etc) back and forth as needed. Now I can use two 2 TB USB drives with "user\jim" folder structure contained to keep the images the same at each location. I wouldn't necessarily use the pi attached drive for other than music files, rather, image the non music folders to the transport drive. The other than music files "go along for the ride" I am sure there are many much more elegant solutions to transporting music and other files, but this works and solves 2 needs.

An idea. When you have worked it all out using a couple of thumb drives. Get 2 identical USB drives. Make them both clones of your full music collection. You will need to get the formatting and data structure right. Keep one at home and one at the remote location.

I use Spotify (Spotty) in conjunction with DSTM (Don't Stop The Music) & the Lastmix plugin. DSTM is built into LMS since 7.9 Basically I play an album or playlist from my own FLACs. At the end of the playlist DSTM automatically adds 5 new tracks (Based on what I have been playing and using data from Last FM). These new tracks are selected either from my own collection or from Spotify or a mixture of both. After these 5 tracks another 5 get added etc. Spotify frequently throws me stuff I have never heard before which I may then investigate further. Another plugin that comes in useful here is What Was That Tune - which stores a log of what player played what so I can reference back. I don't use the Spotify Connect ability of Spotty at all.

[slim] Raspberry Pi System Architecture Question
Hi, Forgive me for being a bit uncertain on a system configuration I am working on (is it ideal?, will it work?). Here's the deal.

The first system will follow much easier. Anyhow, in the second system, I have DSL coming into the cabin, and the modem and the router are located in a "loft" that is accessible, but with a ladder. Ideal for WiFi, not for accessibility. I have all of my devices operating via wifi - a boom, a touch, controller, roku, and the windows computer. All of them are on the first level and say 20-30 ft away. I could run ethernet (I am currently renovating and have access, but prefer to not). So, my thought is to locate the RPi in the loft, plugged into the router. The boom, touch, windows, etc would interface to the RPi LMS via wifi. I am assuming/hoping that for LMS start/stop, web control, I can accomplish via computerrouterRpi. OK so far? So, the next question is storage. Options: 1) Portable hard drive - Nice compact solution . I could create the library on the hard drive and plug it in in the loft. When I add music I would need to carry it down to the computer. This is kind of ok because at this location, I don't add to often. In fact I could use two USB hdd and swap them. $50USD for TB and will fit my library easily. 2) "Intelligent hard drive" - I don't know much about this, but a hard drive that is wifi accessable. 3) A NAS.

System #1 is where the flac files originate (rip/download). In fact, i could use a second HDD to keep #2 as a mirror to #1 (sneaker net). One other note, the electrical power to the routers in the two locations are never on at the same time, as I at one or the other, and want to minimize electrical usage. So, no internet sharing solutions. So, any thoughts would be appreciated, especially if my initial thought of accessing the RPi via computerrouterRpi is an incorrect assumption.

Re: [slim] A Spotify virgin seeking guidance
I think the OP would need to update to a more recent version of LMS. Plus Spotty doesn't work with all servers. Yes, I'm pretty sure the current Spotty plugin won't work on SS 7.6.1 (which dates from 2011). TBH I'm not 100% sure it wouldn't work. But I've never tested it. And some of the nice-to-have features even require 7.9.1 (eg. seeking within a track). I presume the Logitech-supplied "Spotify" plugin listed on 7.6.1 isn't the current one - didn't I see some threads a while back about how Spotify had changed their APIs? That plugin is defunct. -- Michael ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
