Thanks for the replies. It doesn't affect myself because I recode all music files in advance to prevent hick-ups as the server is busy with other processes, and I have in fact not had any complaints from people referencing my package, but I don't like loose ends.

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

Intrigued by this topic. What is the exact issue with system supplied faad2? As far as I can see LMS does not pass any parameters to the CLI frontend that are not supported by the regular faad2 (version 2.10.0).

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,

Hi >From the freshports website : What is FreshPorts FreshPorts lists the changes made to the ports tree. If you wish, FreshPorts can email you when your favourite port has been updated. FreshPorts is not the place to report errors or request changes. You should do that on the FreeBSD Ports

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

Hello, For an update of the FreeBSD port to version 8.2.0 see the following bug I created some time ago. 'Bug created to update LMS to 8.0.0 and beyond' (https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=242345) This port also compiles the modified faad2 binary. Attached the port version

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
