Hello and thanks to Michael and everyone for keeping things alive here. I just made a leap from LMS 7.7.5 to 7.9.2. I did not wish to change a stable configuration but while recently catching up on the forums here I saw many concerns of mine would be addressed by the latest stable build. Unfortunately my initial excitement has been followed by a number of issues. Below are some details with logs attached, I am grateful for any help and recommendations. I may not have the depth of understanding that may be required, but I follow directions well, thanks in advance:
- Windows 10 Pro on Dell Latitude Laptop. I have manual windows updates configured and have made no recent changes. - Logitech Media Server Version: 7.9.2 - 1578996832 - Music IP integration is the best! - IPeng is running on all my devices, but I use the html interface whenever at my desk. - No recent software updates or additions have been made to the system. A fully functioning environment changed upon the install of LMS 7.9.2 24 hours ago. After installing 7.9.2 over 7.7.5: - I am experiencing random server shut downs without a clear pattern. Sometimes it is minutes apart, sometimes hours apart. - Less frequently, in fact only twice, the server freezes while showing it is running and a force close of LMS is required to restart the server (system reboot may have resolved this). - One time the server restarted itself after a random shut down. - A scan for new and changed music initiates when server starts without any prompting. This has been consistent since 7.9.2 install without exception (see next point). - No progress is indicated in the above unprompted scan and the view is hung in "1. discovering files and directories" with no progress visible. - I added new music to my Music IP library to see what effect it might have on scan behavoir. Despite LMS scans appearing hung and my aborting them, at some point it showed in LMS. - Selecting the prompt to "restart" server when changing plugin settings does not restart, it only stops the server. Manual start is then required. - I've noticed one time that all of "my apps" disappeared but then reappeared with a later restart for unknown reason. - TuneIn radio works even if server is not running. This seems odd, but using TuneIn is a recent activity for me so perhaps this is normal. - The following "new" plugins were installed: CD Player: DSD Player; Group Players; Music and Artist Information; Music Information Screen; Radio Paradise. - Regards the above Music and Artist Info plugin, after seeing some unwanted scanning and downloading behavior i deselected all "importer settings". - Following the problems I also installed the prevent system standby plugin, configured to prohibit standby. - I installed and subsequently uninstalled other plugins of interest that were not essential and uninstalled a number of older unused ones in trying to clean up things a bit. - This morning I installed 7.9.2 over the top of itself. The server seemed to start up much more quickly after this, but I've observed no change in random shut downs or scanning on start (which are my 2 biggest issues as a user). I've considered an uninstall while keeping my old preferences, or possibly a full uninstall then reinstall, but perhaps smarter minds than me will see something obvious and simple to address in the logs attached. Also perhaps my issues will be useful in developing LMS 8.0. Full scanner log is attached, it seems strangely brief and shows only a small window of time yesterday despite two complete "clear and rescan everything" and numerous unprompted scans for "new and changed" since installing 7.9.2. Server log is attached in two parts. First "beginning with old 7.7.5 and change to 7.9.2" which includes the period of changeover to 7.9.2 in the late morning 03 14 2020. Second is "server log most recent" which continues where the first log ends and goes up to right now on 03 15 2020. I hope I've done all I should before posting this. Thanks again everyone. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: server log beginning with previous 7.7.5 and change to 7.9.2.txt| |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=29742| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rivrwing's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31626 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111823 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
