I'll save you the trouble reaching out to Ralphy. I got the details in a Private message earlier this week: "In addition to the alac changes we have support to start playback at a specific time (-j and -e switches) and read files from stdin." So 3 features: - ALAC support - Begin playback

Thanks for the information, HansS. My experience is with other Open Source communities, and I conclude that certain nomenclature is a local dialect thing. Indeed, a "port" in the MacPorts community is actually a software package. When I search the official ports tree with string, "logitechmedia

Thanks very much, Hans. I am new to the FreeBSD community. Can you help me understand the difference between where you did your work, and this other "FreshPorts" port that shows up when I google search on "logitechmediaserver FreeBSD"": https://www.freshports.org/audio/logitechmediaserver/ Is

Hi Mike, What you say makes perfect sense. The living discussions and documentation that the Forum provides enables preservation of knowledge, and answering questions. The corpus of wiki pages for LMS got to be too big to maintain. Curation requires resources, and if the resources are unavail

Hello Ben, Hello Michael, My husband and just spent the weekend getting LMS up and running on our new TrueNAS. We got a BIG leg up with Simone's Wiki page, 'Logitech Media Server and FreeBSD/FreeNAS' (https://audiodigitale.eu/?p=87). To repeat what I said in the Forum thread, '[FreeBSD/XigmaNAS

I'm sending this note in the hopes that someone has traveled this route and knows the answer, rather than my discovering it from yet another painful learning experience (like my earlier post on recovering from a perl update.) If I do a fresh install of LMS in a new FreeBSD jail, what config file

I've been running on a March 2015 nightly build of LMS for quite some time. I'm preparing to upgrade, but we're going to go from FreeBSD 9.3 to FreeBSD 11 first, and that will take some time. Today I badly broke my lms execution environment by trying to install emacs. pkg install emacs25 upgrad

Thanks for the review. I'd missed the description and that that the generic Unix version is now used. With a bit of fiddling, I came up with a change that now correctly finds the nightly. I've submitted the following patch to the github as issue#1: Code: root@lms_9:

My lms hasn't been updated since being installed with a nightly of 7.9.0 taken in 2015, so I need to update. How nice that there's now a script to take care of the sundry nigglies. Thank you RichieB! Unfortunately, there is no http://downloads.slimdevices.com/LogitechMediaServer_v7.9.1/logite
