Touch and Radio are small Linux systems and the Squeezeplay is the player running on the Touch. The logging is generated by Squeezeplay and logged into a file within the Touch/radio system To access the log file you need to remotely login (i.e. over network) into Touch/Radio - this is known as "ssh'ing. The command line process on a Linux system is called a shell (i.e. sh) - so ssh is "*s*ecure *sh*ell access" The following assume Community build firmware in Touch/Radio. 1. Enable SSH login on the Radio, using the interface on the Radio: SETTINGS -> ADVANCED -> REMOTE LOGIN -> ENABLE SSH 2. Find the Radio's IP address. Either in SQUEEZEBOX SERVER -> SETTINGS -> INFORMATION or in the Radio user interface SETTINGS -> ADVANCED -> DIAGNOSTICS 3. To remote login you need to run an application such as "ssh" on Linux system. Alternative is PuTTY which is availabwel for other system such as Windows. Login with username root and password 1234. With ssh it will be something like "ssh root@" and then reply 1234 with PuTTY - you need to select "ssh" and the in the configuration dialogue. To enable logging in the Touch I think the menu is SETTINGS -> ADVANCED -> LOGGING Like LMS, there are many modules - I think an "audio" one woudl be place to start. Change setting to DEBUG. Now logging will go to a log file on the Touch called */var/log/messages*. To examine the file - from the command prompt in putty/ssh session use the command CAT /VAR/LOG/MESSAGES Look at result to see if an error message has been logged amongts all the "normal" messages. Usually when tracking a bug, after running a test , the messages file is copied to a host system to save and later analyse. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116979 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Perhaps an update to Touch firmware started it Lots of possibilities depending on time window * There have been changes in LMS handling of MPEG-4 * Transcoding functionality was altered & improved (e.g. the setting "prefer native format (decoding on player) whenever possible. was added ") * From early days, ALC native on Touch was known to have problems so "native" may not have been the default except when using Touch internal mini-LMS * Not sure if the same ALC decoder is used in Community build vs Logitech build. As the bug seems to be in Touch and not LMS. Enabling Touch logging for audio decode might show up a more specific error (you may need to ssh into Touch to read log) .

Yes I remember that.

Having LMS transcode is a workaround. I am no expert, so let's see if someone more knowledgeable corrects me. Usually running latest beta LMS nightly on Raspberry Pi OS with virtual players (Squeezelite and Airplay bridge). Occasionally using SB Radio, Boom or Classic.
