Hi!
I was copying the script to my own server and installed it via
repo/xml.
That way I was having troubles with your install.xml file. LMS kept
restarting.
I found install.xml to be the problem in my case. Missing fields I
guess.
This config is worky, also with empty fields (and no force neede

Ok, that's the old permissions problem my script was supposed to fix:
your log folder is owned by the superuser, but not you. And you don't
have permissions to access
ls -l ~/Library/Logs/ | grep Squeezebox
Is that I or L?
it's a lower case l - just copy paste the command and you don't even
need to know ;-).

I do however have some concern about network storage. Will it be very
much slower than USB3?
There's no USB3 on the Pi. And then it depends on your collection
whether transfer performance is even important. I have 20k tracks, the

I have a Pi3 running piCorePlayer/LMS, with files on a QNAP NAS. The Pi
has a cable connection to the router, as does the NAS, and the whole
ensemble is tucked away upstairs. All my players connect via WiFi.
I would generally recommend connecting the Pi that's running LMS to the
network by cable
Would it be possible to add support for Dark Mode on MacOS to the System
Preferences widget?
Yes, certainly possible. Going to happen? Don't hold your breath... if
we wanted to support this, we might have to give up backwards
compatibility with older systems.

A VPN is fine and all, but what I was looking to discover (or encourage
the build of) is providing a safe way to use iPeng, OrangeSqueeze, etc.

I guess that's sorta my point - just pop the battery out.
For the Hardware, get a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+, or the newer Raspberry
Pi 3 Model A+ https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/
For the pCP software, start here: https://www.picoreplayer.org
and to install the software, see:
https://www.picoreplayer.org/main_getting_started.shtml
There's also the pCP
I believe this will be the end of this thread.
Thanks again for all the great input!
My PC is now deemed officially dead after running almost 24/7/365 for
6-7 years.
I have posted a new thread asking for help setting up a Raspberry Pi
system.

Hi!
I posted a thread a week or two ago where I asked for help in turning my
old, no longer Windows "compatible" PC into some kind of LMS server.
Well - after doing some tests, my computer savvy son tells I can forget
about the PC. I it dead. It won't even boot from a Linux USB flash
drive.

Yes...bad wording on my part. I meant that I had discovered the two-step
process before reading your post and am happy that you were able to give
me a very useful all-in-one met

It looks the voideo content is causing the problem. Try the ffmpeg
following command - it strips the video track out.
Code:
ffmpeg -i DIY.m4a -vn -c:a copy DIY-novideo.m4a

Yes...they behave normally everywhere except LMS...and even there they
play, they just won't go into the library. I'm used to the opposite,
where LMS is the most reliable option while ever

Yes, but YouTube can be a bit ephemeral at times and there are things

atrocity, It might not be relevant but there are quite a few occasions
when I find an m4a (aac) file doesn't play in LMS.
I extract the AAC to a separate file (i.e. your starting position) and
then use MP4Box to create a new m4a file. I have never had any problem
with m4a files generated by MP4

This is not metadata (i.e. additiopnal info) but file structure - how
the file is encoded into MPEG4.
