No. That file is for old ReadyNAS devices running OS4. The one you
want is "Debian Installer Package (x86_64)" (or "Debian Installer
Package (i386, x86_64, ARM EABI, PowerPC)").
There are two ways to install it. The first way is done entirely within
your web browser but will lose all plugins whose MaxVersion hasn't been
updated for LMS8: Download the package, open the NAS admin web page, go
to the Apps tab, click Upload, and upload the file (and if the LMS icon
disappears from the page afterward, upload Poussin's file to make it
come back).
The second way -- the way I'd recommend, if you're comfortable working
in the NAS's shell -- is:
1. Go to LMS Settings:Plugins and make sure that there are no plugins
waiting to be updated.
2. In the shell, show the maxVersion for all your installed plugins:
Code:
--------------------
cd /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins
grep -r maxVersion *
--------------------
3. Scan the displayed list. Versions shown as "8.*" or just "*" are
fine, but any that are "7.*" will stop working when you update. For all
"7.*" plugins that you want to keep, copy the plugin's directory to
/var/lib/squeezeboxserver/Plugins/ . For example, if you see this in
the list of maxVersions:
Code:
--------------------
NPRRadio/install.xml: <maxVersion>7.*</maxVersion>
--------------------
then you should copy the NPRRadio plugin to
/var/lib/squeezeboxserver/Plugins:
Code:
--------------------
cp -a NPRRadio/ /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/Plugins
--------------------
4. In /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/Plugins, go into each of your copied
plugin directories and edit the install.xml file to change maxVersion to
"8.*" or "*".
5. Download the Debian Installer Package to the NAS. It'll be called
something like 'logitechmediaserver_8.0.0~1594451286_amd64.deb'. The
most appropriate place to put it would be
/var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache/updates/, but anyplace is fine.
6. Install the new LMS over the old:
Code:
--------------------
dpkg -i
/var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache/updates/logitechmediaserver_8.0.0~1594451286_amd64.deb
--------------------
7. Give it a minute or two to start up. Check the version number in LMS
Settings:Information, then confirm that your edited plugins are present
in LMS Settings:Plugins.
After this initial upgrade to 8.0, future 8.x updates will work the way
you're used to: The new package will be automatically downloaded and
you'll just SSH into the NAS and install it with dpkg.
