Please discuss LMS for OS6 here. Continues from http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=155&t=70937

The LMS 7.8.0 version has been released.There is a debian package for it but the size is much larger than Super Poussin's 7.7.3 package. http://downloads.slimdevices.com/Logite ... er_v7.8.0/Just wait for it?

I'd be shocked if it didn't work. I only use Squeeze radios and they work just fine using the standard LMS plugin for my Rn516. If you are trying to decide between smaller ReadyNAS, I'd suggest the 21x series as they are powerful enough to even transcode via Plex.

OK have purchased a ReadyNas RN212D23 (2x3TB, Arm Quad processor) . Having looked at the various postings for getting LMS installed I could do with some guidance for getting LMS up and running! I remember the problems I had trying to get LMS installed on a ReadyNas Duo some years ago and would like to make the process a litlle less troublesome this time!) The ReadyNas as delivered was at firmware 6.4.1 but updated to 6.4.2 during setup. I've found the following sources of LMS code:Under Available Apps in the Admin pages of the ReadyNas itself is Logitech Media Server V1.0.6 developed by PoussinAt https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ie9pwk1wut72ias/AACr8V9vMB2dC5lbj03l5VyDa/Logitech%20Media%20server?dl=0 there appears to be a copy of the above file plus later releases (lms_1.0.7_all.deb, 1.08, 1.09) and Logitechmediaserver deb files (e.g. logitechmediaserver_7.7.2_all.deb, 7.7.3, 7.8.0) all supplied by PoussinAt http://downloads.slimdevices.com/ there are various versions of the above logitechmediaserver including a v7.9.0 in the nightly folder Can someone explain what the relationship is between the lms and logitechmediaserver files is (i.e. why are both needed), which versions I should use with firmware 6.4.2 and what sequence to install them in. Many thanks

Would it be possible to get a 7.7.4 or a 7.8.0 build for OS6?

Another question.Whats the best way to start over from scratch?I had 7.7.3 installed but since I had some issues with it I tried to remove it. Removal failed though.(But it was removed from the APP page) So I tried to install 7.7.2 and it failed too.The LMS package is also failing so it seems that I am stuck.Rebooted the NAS and that didnt help.EDIT: Now 7.7.2 magically appeared under APPS, so far so good.But I still have the issue with not all plugins available.Seems to be a cache issue:http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthrea ... tings-pageClearing /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache# didnt helpEDIT2: If you disable Extension Downloader plugin all 3rd party plugins disappears. Enable it to have them visible again

Dear Amudan,

Have you been able to resolve this problem? I am experiencing the same:

I uploaded the LMS 7.8.0 files from Super-Poussin to my Readynas 102 and LMS seems to install fine. It is visible in the installed apps overview. Then when I try to switch it on, there is a pop-up saying:

"Application Failed to initialize", along with code 22002010000

How did you solve this?

And thank you Super-Poussin for keeping LMS up to date for us Readynas users.

Well, it seems my problem has miraculously disappeared.
Even though restarting the RN102 did not help initiallty, I tried again the next day and now LMS could be switched on without any issues.
Sorry for this non-problem.

I hope you succeeded as well, Amudan.

Played around with my Readynas 312 today with firmware 6.2.1

With LMS from the App 'store' uninstalled I could not get either of SP's lms_1.0.8_all.deb or 1.0.7 to install. It just threw up an error.

So I reinstalled the version in the app store and then did a manual install of LMS 7.8.1 downloaded to my PC from the nightly builds http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Nightly_Builds (the debian package).

The install took down the old version (which was running) and stood up the new one without missing a beat. I did a rescan but it even seemed to work with the existing library :)

Sounds great, I might do the same.
Any reason you didnt go for 7.9?

BTW: why not use the NTGR package? "Logitech Media Server: NETGEAR ReadyNas Pro Installer Package (i386)"

The latest release is the one that is still under development. I tend to go with the previous version. At the time it was 7.8.1. The Netgear package was, at least in the past, not for Netgear's new OS6 - it was only for the older firmware on the older NASs (the Pro units). That said having read your post it seems that some people have had some success with it.

If I had to do it again though I would install the LMS app from Logitech (written by Super P here) and update it in the way I described above. It works well.

I successfully installed LMS 1.06 (from Poussin's Dropbox) and latest nightly (logitechmediaserver_7.9.0~1427377805_all.deb). The tip to install from a Readynas folder directly (instead of from a download on a computer in the network) was helpful. I am running OS6.3.3 (Beta 11) on a legacy Pro Pioneer having successfully done the upgrade.

The only gotcha is that the OS Admin Apps page shows "Logitech Media Server 1.06" Developer Poussin but LMS>Settings>Information shows:
Logitech Media Server Version: 7.9.0 - 1427377805 @ Sun Mar 29 04:05:25 UTC 2015.

Thanks to Poussin and others here all the tips to getting this up and running.

So, I managed to get the UE Media Server running on my 314, then I decided I didn't like it and "downgraded" (read: "re-upgraded") everything to Squeezebox/LMS. UE (10+) was stagnant, whereas LMS (7.x) still feels active and fresh.

I installed the LMS 1.0.6 add-on from the "Available Apps" and the latest 7.9 nightly. It's working fine, although I am noticing some UI sluggishness from the ReadyNAS.

I noticed that S-P's Dropbox has lms_1.0.8_all.deb, which seems to be newer than the ReadyNAS add-on and also designed for 7.8+ of the LMS nightlies. Can I just manually install this over 1.0.6, or is there some sort of uninstall process or radical change I should be aware of?

Never mind. I answered my own question.

Here's a step-by-step for anyone who wants to install the latest and greatest LMS on their OS 6 ReadyNAS:

1. Install S-P's Logitech Media Server 1.0.6 add-on from the ReadyNAS add-on directory.
2. Install the LMS of your choice (e.g., 7.7, 7.8, 7.9) from the nightly pages by manually uploading the .deb file.
3. Install the lms_1.0.8_all.deb from S-P's Dropbox to bring the LMS app to the current version.

This is working brilliantly for me, even with multiple plugins enabled. LMS is speedy, and the lag is gone from the ReadyNAS admin GUI. Can't even fathom why I upgraded to UE.

  This no longer seems to work with 6.4.1. I get "Cannot install...." errors when I upload LMS.
  
  UPDATE: Well, it seems to be working now. If you follow the instructions above, you will get "Cannot install" errors, but strangely enough, it seems to do it anyway. I had to go through the process a couple of times, but at last, I have LMS 7.9 and ReadyNAS App 1.08.

    I must be doing something wrong.
    
    I install lms 1.0.6 from app page.
    I try to install 7.8.0 - get error message can't install.
    repeat a few times, no success.
    I then try to upgrade to 1.0.8. still same error message. try a few times - no success. All it manages to do is uninstall 1.0.6.
    
    Did you hard/soft reset between installs? Any other hints?

Please help.

Everyone, I just picked up a readyNAS 314 (2x4TB), installed the lms app from the app page. When I click on the icon, it redirects me to port 9000, but I get an error message "page not found".

RUnning 6.4.1 on the readyNAS
Windows 10
Edge browser.

I also restarted the NAS with no success.

Is there something i'm missing?

Hi,

I am using the app store add-on LMS version 7.7.2 on my readynas RN-104. It's working almost fine.
Can I upgrade to the newer version (7.8.x or 7.9) ? And how must I do ?
delete the actual version and install the new one ?
directly upgrade my running version and how to do it ?

Thanks
