Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Logitech Media Server 8.2.0 released
I keep a friend's system running that is running Ubuntu 18.04 and want to upgrade it to 8.2.0 - is an uninstall and reinstall required? It'd be nice to keep the configuration and not do it from scratch. I think the first thing you should think about has nothing to do with LMS: a backup strategy. If you had a backup, you wouldn't have to worry too much about the configuration ;-). So... grab a copy of the prefs folder (see Settings/Information) to get started. Usually you should be able to simply install the new version on top of the old one. If that didn't work, I believe an uninstall would leave the configuration in place. But I'm not 100% sure for all Linux system. Therefore the backup of your files, from which you can restore it if needed. ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

Super kudos to the team. Thanks so much for keeping our systems running strong. The upgrade from 8.1.0 on Win10 was completely smooth. Open the control panel, click on the update button and bam! I remember some updates that were painful back when LMS was still a revenue generating product for Logitech - so this is quite the feat.

The slimserver vendor repository contains all the perl modules and the
binaries.
At the moment all the perl modules in the official repository are
following the philosophy ""if it works don't touch it".
While sometimes this may work I don't really share this pov. Because
when something will start to not work anymore, since it will be severly
outdated, it will be a real pain to fix it. Due to this a made a fork
here https://github.com/simonefil/slimserver-vendor and updated pretty
much all the perl modules used by LMS (and, Q.E.D., it has been a real
pain).
In the next days I will update also the source for the binaries used,
faad2 included. (Both on github and in the FreeBSD package)
For a very quick fix while I work on the update, to be able to listen to
ALAC files you just need to edit the conver.conf files and change the
transcoding lines for ALAC in this way:
For alac -> wav
Code:
alc pcm * *
# FT:{START=-j %s}U:{END=-e %u}
[alac] $FILE$
for alac -> mp3
Code:
alc mp3 * *
# FB:{BITRATE=--abr %B}D:{RESAMPLE=--resample %D}T:{START=-j
%s}U:{END=-e %u}
[alac] $FILE$ | [lame] --silent -q $QUALITY$ $RESAMPLE$ $BITRATE$ - -
for alac -> flac
Code:
alc flc * *
# FT:{START=-j %s}U:{END=-e %u}D:{RESAMPLE=-r %d}
[alac] $FILE$ | [sox] -q -t wav - -t flac -C 0 $RESAMPLE$ -
