[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] What Should I do?
Good Evening All.. This is my current setup. Squeezebox Server 7.9.0 running on a Synology NAS DS209..so proper old! Players Receiver connected to a stereo though the AUX In of a Mini Hifi (DAB - no DAB Plus) in my office area. Touch connected to the AV receiver in the lounge 2 x Radio (unfortunately one of them is having a power issue - no charge on different leads or the battery when charged in the other unit) 1 x Boom (dodgy / loose DC In socket - so you move the unit and it powers off).. Due to the issues with the Radio and Boom, I have an old Android mobile on wifi which I have the Squeezeplayer App and then Bluetooth to a Transmart speaker when out in the BBQ Shack (or I use a streaming provider or TuneIn direct).. I'm just wondering what's the best way forward here...a lot of my "historic" music is on the NAS in MP3 / FLAC format. I see a few mentions about running LMS on a Raspberry Pi..but I wonder whether its "worth" getting the units repaired.the Radio's were in the kid's bedrooms but they have a small circular device from a company that does quite well with a Search Engine. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated :-) Pieman1972's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37424 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115403 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Pic for no cover art
Hm, it looks different with the classic skin but what to make of it? Looks as if the first album did have a cover art URL, but an invalid one. The second didn't have any cover, thus shows the fallback artwork. The Material skin probably is smarter about failing artwork and rather than show a broken image icon, shows some other fallback artwork. Why this is a different one, only the Material skin dev would know. ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

To all the respondents: I did consider installing squeezelite package, but it comes with a bunch of dependencies which, presumably, LMS provides internally for the local player. Also it is nice to be able to manage the player from the web interface, so I wanted to stick with local player if possible. Anyway... I took everyone's advice and replaced the existing binary with one from Ralphy's most recent build: squeezelite-1.9.9.1391-x86_64. (The LMS bundled version is 1.6.5.). It started up fine, so I will monitor it for 2-3 days and see how it goes.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Playback stops when starting up new player or app
Hi, I have LMS 8.0 on my NAS, the latest programme version it seems. I also have a SB Radio and a PiCorePlayer on a RPI 2. Whenever I start one of these players or an App or SLX on my Windows 10 PC the playback stops. Often but not always all files in the playlist appear to have played. After a while I can resume playback but have to do so manually. I don't know what it is and LMS on my NAS does not seem to be eligible for updates. dsm 6.2.2 (synology disk station 115) running lms 8.0 -- rpi with a hifiberry dac+ running picoreplayer (any old version?) -- plugins: material skin, mai, podcasts, musik - folge mir, squeezelite-x, squeeze ctrl streifenleopard's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=42019 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115399 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Unable to load ANY plugins!
Hmm - another reboot of the router and all seems to be in order again. Strange - before the reboot it seemed like I had full internet access (e.g. posting to this forum), but in fact a traceroute (from my wireless laptop) to downloads.nixda.ch didn't work, whereas traceroute to bbc.co.uk did work. After the reboot I can now traceroute to downloads.nixda.ch, and I can once again load plugins and play Spotify tracks via Spotty. Now for the big test - can I reinstate yesterday's working setup from my backups... chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115397 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Unable to load ANY plugins!
This has me stumped! Fresh install of pCP8 (64 bit) on a 4GB Raspberry Pi4. Booting from a 32GB USB drive, with a (big) third partition created by pCP to hold the cache and prefs folders. I'm unable to load ANY plugins. When I select, for instance, Spotty from the 3rd party plugins list, then click apply, there is a wait of a few seconds (presumably while the plugin downloads) then a prompt to restart LMS. After the restart, Spotty isn't installed, but now appears at the top under 'Updated plugins available'. If I select it, then Apply, then restart, it just stays there in the 'Updated plugins available' list. If I restart LMS from the pCP interface, Spotty is now back in the 3rd party plugins list (and not installed). If I monitor the cache folder during this process, at no point can I see any sign of Spotty in DownloadedPlugins, InstalledPlugins, tmp etc. Where should I expect to find the files are downloaded to before the restart installs them? I seem to recall an earlier discussion about delaying the restart long enough for the files to actually download, so I've tried that too - still no sign of anything being downloaded. For info I'm on a fast fibre broadband connection, with the RPi wired to the router. And I know the cache folder is setup with the right permissions etc (all defaults, as created by pCP), because the music scan completed without error, creating big library.db and artwork.db files. Everything was working perfectly until yesterday, when I think a router restart while playing a list of Spotify tracks may have somehow corrupted the LMS cache (? clutching at straws here for an explanation!), meaning that I could no longer play Spotify tracks. I started by simply restoring the slimserver folder from a recent backup, but then I noticed that Spotty started to give me the 'failed to get token' warning (don't recall the exact wording). So for troubleshooting I decided to try a completely fresh pCP install, expecting it to be a simple case of reinstalling all my plugins, or even copying the cache over once I've figured out what's going on with Spotty. But now I'm in this novel position where no plugins at all will install. I've been using LMS and pCP for years, and am quite familiar with the process, but maybe the flawless operation of my main server in recent times has made me a bit rusty. What am I doing wrong?! Why can't I install plugins? chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115397 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
