For some reason, for the last week I have to re-generate the

I am running LMS on a Win 10 NUC and 3x Chromecast and 4x Squeezebox

That is a pity. Hopefully this can be integrated in the future.
I have noticed that the 'automatic radio station based on a playlist'
feature does not seem to work as I had expected.
When selected, a limited playlist of songs appears in the Android
Spotify app. At the bottom of the list there is an announcement along
the lines of "more songs will be added

Yes, per your suggestion I upgraded my LMS just now to latest 7.9.0 and
erased and generated your plugin config file. LMS found the Squeezeboxes
and the two 'physical' CCA's, but not the 'virtual' Homegroup'. I will

Hi Philippe, first observations are in:
I installed yesterday and immediately afterwards, the HomeGroup 'virtual
CCA' was listed, but the 'physical CCA's' were both missing. Physical
Squeezebox classics were listed (as always). I did not mind the lack of
listing of the Physical CCA's since I use
That procedure is nice and easy, love it.
When I unselect the plugin LMS tells me it needs to restart and also
when re-activating it needs a restart.
Is that necessary? I have it run on an old EeePC, so the process is
rather slow. That is why I am asking
But where do I find the new plugin and where do I need to copy it to and
should I delete something somewhere first?

As mentioned before, 80% of the time when starting, I have to fiddle
with the volume slider to get sound. Could this be because both my CCA's
are sunchronized?
