And the 4s are prone to run hot to begin with. I would make sure the Pi has adequate cooling and is not periodically throttling down under load, as they sometimes do.

A Redbook wav file in 2022 is pocket change for storage and streaming purposes and plays on anything with no headaches. I remember the heated arguments here a couple decades ago over flac vs. wav, when people were struggling with 400GB HDDs and 802.11g routers.

A sustained green light on the Receiver is a problem, and indicates it is awaiting a DHCP assignment. "PSU" means "power supply unit". In the case of most all Squeezeboxes made (excepting the Transporter, and that has it's own internal 5v PSU issues), that is the external plug in wall wart that supplies the device its power. Many of these wall warts have been in service well past their design lives. With increasing age, 90% of present Squeezebox problems can be traced back to a weak and/or failing PSU. If still original, it can go at any time. The good news is, most all are easily replaceable with generic units available on Ebay and many electronics supply houses. I always keep an assortment of spare PSUs on hand. Just be sure to match up the appropriate output voltage, amperage, and the correct plug configuration for your player. My recollection is that the Receiver uses a 9v/1A or better, center-positive, 1.05mm x 3.5mm supply. If you cannot find an exact fit, the absolute worst case is that you can splice the old power connector to a new 9v PSU. I would not abandon the SB ecosystem over a balky Receiver. As streaming platforms go, the community supported LMS one is still quite good, with a virtually insignificant resource footprint, and free. I tried Roon. IMO, it is way overpriced and a resource pig. Hopefully, Roon eventually figured out how to stream Internet radio stations, something LMS does easily. Conversely, you can run LMS off a Raspberry Pi, a $30 mini computer smaller than a pack of cigarettes. If you give up on the balky Receiver, a Touch is a much better, more versatile player, and those now routinely sell for under $150 used. Or cheaper still is a Raspberry Pi client.

Even Ethernet-connected, the model that presents the most difficult network issues are the Receivers. Even the AX Router Wi-Fi incompatibility issue with Squeezeboxes pales in comparison at times. So you are not alone with your struggle. My suspicion is that this is not an LMS issue, but a networking one. A first step is to go into the Router administration portal and check the connected device table. Make sure there is not an active IP address conflict involving that client. Also, make sure that the Receivers are coming up in the tables. If they're not, that's a giveaway. A Receiver will also give itself away by its status lamp. Unless the lamp is out (connected, off) or a soft white (connected, on), it is not connected to the network. Unfortunately, even the status lamp is not dispositive of functional networking with the Receivers. Next go around your local network, and starting with the server machine, reboot that machine, and then reboot all the SB clients. Temporarily remove power line networking from your setup. Unplug the power line modules and connect the Receivers directly to the Router to eliminate that trouble source. One aside about power line networking if you are an audio enthusiast. Those plug-in modules inject a tremendous amount of broadband noise on their mains lines, some of which can get into the power supplies of your audio equipment. And yes, it can be audible. I've used them as an absolute last resort where a Wi-Fi media bridge won't work. But the line noise is a high price to pay, and line filtration is often required to get rid of it. If you can pull it off with an EX2700 wireless media bridge (802.11n), that is the cleaner solution. Some other initial steps are to clear the IP table on your Router. Sometimes, that is as easy as a Router reboot. Eventually, if you do nothing, a Router will clear itself via lease renewals, but that can take days. Once the table is cleared, the router's DHCP server will reassign the clients on reboot without conflicts. Even absent an obvious conflict, clearing the Router's assignment table sometimes gets a client working again. However ... sometimes it takes repeated attempts with the Controller to properly configure a Receiver to a network. And that is the only way to get it to connect. Don't ask me why this is, but it can be so at times. And absent some obscure terminal commands, the only effective way to do it is with a Controller. Make sure the Controller is on your network first before configuring the Receiver. And as a long-shot, you can try this (as it once coincided with some lingering networking issues on a Receiver): if the PSU is original, replace it. As these old wall warts fade, they can create some issues before they finally die. We had one Receiver exhibit increasing network disconnects and networking difficulties in the month or so before the PSU finally died. Once a fresh PSU was attached, it has worked perfectly ever since. Because you are also experiencing playback issues at the server machine, the other thing to make sure of, as has been alluded, is that all the Mac's disk access protections involving LMS are disabled. That primarily involves allowing full disk access for Perl and Perl5. If

Once Ventura was installed, the LMS 8.2 server completely refused to start. I didn't dive into the server logs to see what was hanging it up. It was easier to just make the move to 8.3. Installing 8.3 took seconds, and once I installed the right version, it started right up. It is playing music as I type this. My only surprise was that the Legacy version did not work on our Intel Mac. It required the full version with Apple Silicon support to work ... even on an Intel.

The old build was running fine, so I just ignored it. But D perl5.18 into Full Disk Access solved this for me as well.

Here's a new one. For all versions of LMS later than 7.9.3-1596358162 (Aug 3, 2020) I lose all LMS permissions to access the external drive containing my Media Folder. Deleting and re-selecting permissions for perl and bash after a later build install and reboot do not restore the permissions. Running the usual terminal commands 'sudo mkdir -p ~/Library/Logs/Squeezebox' & 'sudo chown $USER ~/Library/Logs/Squeezebox' don't help either. But rolling back the installation to 7.9.3-1596358162 always restores full permissions. So for now, I am trapped at that build version.

It's a continuing permissions issue with Catalina. I'm not sure it can be fixed with an LMS revision. But a revised Terminal script app might do it. You need to go into System Preferences/Security & Privacy/Full Disk Access, and allow certain LMS subroutines Full Disk Access as a permanent setting. The two I identified as they ghost appeared in the FDA pane were "sh" and "perl". But others are apparently having problems seeing them pop up in the running FDA pane. That behavior I cannot explain. The good news is once the correct FDA permission is given, you never have to do it again, and LMS starts and re-starts and runs with no further issues. sgmlaw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13995 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111037 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

Once the right permissions are given, LMS runs very smoothly under it -- and seems to keep running well thereafter. Since getting things straight under Catalina, I've installed some subsequent nightly beta updates (thank you Michael!). No problems whatsoever. So it looks like a once-and-done process to work out those permissions. Sorry to hear you had to struggle with it.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS on MacOS 10.15 "Catalina"?
I'm still puzzled by this... I never was asked to change anything there, nor do I see sh or perl in those lists! Did you update to Catalina from an earlier macOS, or is this a new system? -- Michael Michael, No, you do not receive any direct alert or notification prompts to change anything in Catalina as LMS starts. LMS will simply not entirely function. The extent of non-function likely will depend on which permissions are still lacking in the particular system. In my case, my Media Library disappeared, as LMS could no longer access it on an external volume. That is typically a file permissions issue. This was an upgrade situation, from Mojave to Catalina. Not a clean install, not a new system. So in my implementation, the earlier terminal permissions script had already been run under Mojave. And I do not enable a software firewall in my system. So I could stream internet radio and access all the clients after the upgrade to Catalina. But in my install, Catalina would not allow LMS to access local data volumes. So in addition to the earlier terminal script commands under Mojave to elevate some permissions, I also needed to open and change settings in the Full Disc Access pane with Catalina. With the Full Disc Access pane open in System Preferences, as LMS starts, you will see apps start to appear, as they seek disc access, for which they do not yet have permissions. You have to manually go into the Full Disc Access pane and check them off as they appear. In my instance, two apps popped up as LMS started: perl and sh. Once both were given Full Disc Access, I recovered full LMS functionality, and access to my Media Library folders on an external volume was then permitted. All is now well again. The only lingering issue I am having involves two third-party plugins, which I have already identified. One is an obvious 32-bit issue, the other easily resolved with a manual restart of that plugin. Both developers appear to be aware of the issues. Again, this file access issue is not novel, only the scope of it has changed. I had encountered it before under Mojave with third-party backup solutions accessing OS-level folders. Now under Catalina, disk access permissions have become more aggressively applied across all volumes. So the prior experience under Mojave informed me where to check first. I hope that clarifies things for those experiencing disappearing libraries under Catalina. sgmlaw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13995 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111037 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS on MacOS 10.15 "Catalina"?
After fiddling with Catalina and LMS for a couple of days, I've finally got it starting, re-starting and running smoothly again. Here are some observations, for those still struggling after the OS upgrade: Applications will dynamically appear in the Full Disk Access pane as LMS goes through its processes. You need to then unlock the pane as they appear, and then check those applications to elevate their permissions. In Full Disk Access permissions, two LMS-related applications arise: "sh", and "perl". Once those two applications are given permissions under Full Disk Access, LMS starts and works normally again. This is in addition to any prior terminal-based permissions commands that may have been required under Mojave. As a preemptive measure, it may be a good idea to re-run the terminal script application if Catalina has reset those permissions. All plugins in my LMS implementation, with the exception of PlayWMA, are now starting and operating normally. PlayWMA currently relies on a 32-bit version of MPlayer, which is unsupported under Catalina.

The system gave no prompts. The media library just disappeared in LMS, as empty. In my LMS implementation, all media and user data except those forced to the OS drive to run the apps, are kept on an external TB stack. Including all audio files. Catalina now finally does that in a virtual sense via further hidden partitioning of the boot volume into a Data drive, where OS user data is kept. Under Catalina, the core OS now operates in its own separate read-only volume. A protected play pen of sorts. What I had been indirectly trying to do for over 20 years. In the past, the OS has left my external data drive mainly unmolested, so there was never a library issue before. But Catalina implements a more aggressive file access protection/permissions protocol than Mojave. It now more aggressively limits access to external and removable drives. I recalled encountering similar issues with 3rd party backup apps in Mojave, as they also access the OS volume. The workaround is to give the apps full disk access permissions. Once I was able to get perl listed with those same permissions, LMS was able to access its external library targets again. Catalina is still a little buggy. It took a couple reboots for the permissions to finally stick as an automatic setting. There are some other bugs, such as MPlayer incompatibility, and the chromecast bridge plugin needs to be manually restarted once LMS is fully started. Then it runs fine. I presume it is a similar delayed permissions hang. If Apple drops perl, that will certainly make life harder. sgmlaw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13995 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111037 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

Having just upgraded to Catalina today, I can absolutely confirm that SqueezePlay runs under it. HOWEVER, if it is not already on these lists, perl must be added to the list of "Full Disc Access" applications in Security & Privacy settings under System Preferences in Catalina. Otherwise, LMS cannot access your local Media Library folders. Once added, perl will also be automatically added to the list of apps allowed to access files and folders under the "Files and Folders" listing in that same Security & Privacy pane.

Not to hijack the thread, but what is the projected compatibility of MPlayer with LMS under Catalina? MPlayer has been a nice bridge app to allow seamless LMS playback of WMA files. Up to now, I have only found the earlier 32-bit versions of MPlayer to work with LMS on my OSX systems. Newer MPlayer OSX Extended (64-bit) versions don't seem to work with LMS 7.9.x, at least not for me. And Catalina will only run 64-bit apps. sgmlaw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13995 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111037 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Logitech Media Server 7.9.1 is out!
Michael, BTW, and I should probably say so every few weeks or so, but thanks for keeping 7.9 up to date. We are starting to get quite a few years out from the end of SB production, and it is a continuing comfort to check that nightly beta download link every few weeks. sgmlaw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13995 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108957 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
