If LMS is running as a service, then you are trying to copy audio (managed bny Pulseaudio server) belonging to one user (i.e you) and get it copied to another user (i.e. LMS). This won't work if Pulseaudio is being run on a per-user mode and it needs to be set up to run as a system mode. IIRC Then you have to add you own user id and LMS user id to the user group pulse-access. Then reboot to have all the changes take effect. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49584 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Am I doing something wrong or do I just need to wait for this to be updated for 7.8? Thanks!Nope. It works fine with 7.8. When you say 'won't install', what do you mean? Are you following the instructions from the head of this thread? That said, it's been a while since I've done anything but a manual install. I'll test this today. gharris999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=115 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48521 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

HTH I installed and run etherwake on my linux debian system to wake my vortexbox appliance from my laptop when not in the same room as my Logitech Touch (which wakes it automatically when it tries to connect). There are several similar tools for Windows (I have used Fusion WOL in the past). Running this obviously requires extra user input, but it's not exactly onerous once you have a command set up ready to run with a single click. I seem to recall that when I used squeezeplay it also sent wake packets (I now use squeezelite which doesn't do so). LMS 7.8 on VortexBox Midi, FLACs 16 or 24 bit. Touch on Ethernet (in another room), digital out to a Musical Fidelity M1 CLiC. Old wireless laptop running Linux Mint Debian controls server using Chromium. Squeezelite on Ubuntu Windows desktops plus the laptop. Meridian Explorer USB DAC to listen directly to Vortexbox other PCs as required. Spare Touch in loft!

I've read that running Pulseaudio as system-wide is very wrong (http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/WhatIsWrongWithSystemWide/), so I tried to change the permissions in hopes that that would help: I've added myself and squeezeboxserver to the pulse-access group and squeezeboxserver to the audio group (with: sudo usermod -g pulse-access yakir, and sudo usermod -g pulse-access squeezeboxserver, and sudo usermod -g audio squeezeboxserver). It didn't help...
