In addition to the NasTools version the Super-Poisson version 1.0.6 does not work after upgrading to 6.6.0.

ABNL, thank you for reminding folks that these are meant to be consumer devices. "Nightly" is the most current build of the Logitech Media Server (LMS). Basically, every night a version of the LMS with all the day's changes is compiled and released for download. You can view them via the Web here. Once you have activated SSH, you will need a terminal application (such as Terminal on macOS, or Putty for Windows). Using this, you can access the command line interface (CLI) of the ReadyNAS and type in text commands. To access the CLI, you'll need to type ssh root@[your ReadyNAS' IP address] and then enter your admin password. Typically, your ReadyNAS IP address will be something like 192.168.1.2, in which case you'd type ssh root@192.168.1.2 wget is another executable command you have to type in the CLI once you've accessed your ReadyNAS via SSH. Does that make sense? You can really do a lot of damage via the command line, so please triple-check the step-by-step instructions others have provided above before actually typing anything in.

Finally some progress! My system is not clean after all testing and I'm not a Linux guy so do this at your own risk. If you have LMS installed.Remove Poussin plugin and from cli,apt-get purge logitechmediaserverIf it not completly removed delete the remaining folder. wget http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/7.9/sc/b1a775c/logitechmediaserver_7.9.0~1476850390_all.debdpkg -i logitechmediaserver_7.9.0~1476850390_all.debservice logitechmediaserver stopwget http://server.vijge.net/static/squeezebox/arm-linux-gnueabi-thread-multi-64int.tar.gztar -xf arm-linux-gnueabi-thread-multi-64int.tar.gz -C /usr/share/squeezeboxserver/CPAN/arch/5.20Reboot.

Hi again! Just updated my main NAS and LMS works. Updated fromRN202 6.5.2Latest nighly LMSPoussin LMS 1.0.9 Did this.1. Backup.2. Install 6.6.03. From ssh command linewget http://server.vijge.net/static/squeezebox/arm-linux-gnueabi-thread-multi-64int.tar.gztar -xf arm-linux-gnueabi-thread-multi-64int.tar.gz -C /usr/share/squeezeboxserver/CPAN/arch/5.204. Stream music from LMS.

I can also confirm it is now working for me. Really appreciate your efforts chaps. No more early adopting ReadyNAS upgrades without reading the notes. This is what i did Install nightly LMS (in Apps tab > Upload) Install lms_1.0.9_all.deb Iin Apps tab > Upload)Switch on LMS in AppsNo ssh magic needed Thanks again

Remove LMS and Poisson plugin. Download and install LMS from http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/?ver=7.9. Logitech Media Server: Debian Installer Package (ARM) works for me. Then download and install lms_1.0.9_all.deb from https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ie9pwk1wut72ias/AAASNUx2cSo0TNIqRjNXime9a/Logitech%20Media%20server/7.8.0?dl=0. Sometimes I have to install it twice before it stick. Don't know why, maybe I'm to impatiant. Updating the nightly, turn off LMS and upload the new version, wait a minute and turn it on again. Never had any problem until 6.6.0.

Thanks for the info.

I'm using my PRO 6 solely for streaming music using LMS on 6.5.0 and I asked Super Poussin about the compatibility of his LMS deb add-on with 6.6.0 through email yesterday. Thanks for having tested this already. I will share his response.

I wasn't intending to "test" it. I stupidly assumed that as only the nastools version was on the list of incompatible apps, that I would be OK to upgrade.
Did Super-Poisson reply !
It's a bit of a problem as there seems to only be an ARM version of the nastools version which is compatible.
Now I'm having all sorts of difficulty removing 1.0.6

    I managed to remove all remnants of Super-Poisson's LMS addon, using ssh,
    I installed the Nastools version which actually appears in the available apps list despite the 6.6.0 release post saying it had been removed.
    The app installed OK, and so far is working on my 316. Perhaps it is only the arm architecture on which it is incompatible with 6.6.0.

Just to chime in, it's working fine for me on 6.6.0. I have S-P's 1.0.9 add-on installed and the LMS 7.9.x nightly build. It's working as well as it ever has.

Initially I thought it was broken because LMS took longer to come back online than, say, Plex. But I'm relieved to say that's not the case.

I must have dozed off and the firmware has updated again.
I run Super-Poisson's LMS 7.8.
I want to switch up to 7.9 to take advantage of the new features and bug fixes.
Which of the distributions are better/easier to use.
Nightlies are not that important, I can stick with the stable stuff till it hurts.
If I was to install Nastools version is removing the Super-Poisson version best practice?
Or can I just install the 7.9 off of logitech's ?
I just noticed that after the 6.5.2 upgrade the Super-Poisson app has disappeared from the Admin pages.
It is still running, I guess I have to do CLI stuff to stop the app.
Nastools is on the available apps list. Huh. I really just want it to work, and right now it is working.
Thoughts?

  Then download and install lms_1.0.9_all.deb from https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ie9pwk1wut72ias/AAASNUx2cSo0TNIqRjNXime9a/Logitech%20Media%20server/7.8.0?dl=0.

    Here's something I've found: Even if you switch S-P's LMS (1.0.9) to "Off," the app will still run at bootup. I've been wondering if this isn't causing problems with the data volume not being mounted at boot, which I've started to experience occasionally after upgrading to 6.6.0.

Same sh*** here with a RN204. LMS is not working anymore after the update. I deinstalled LMS and NAS Tools and reinstalled the "logitechmediaserver_7.9.0-1475786002_arm" and "lms_1.0.9_all". (Some messages before someone wrote, it works fine...) I can see the installed programm on the Netgear App Page and die Start Button is "on" - but when I try to open the LMS via IP:9000 there is only an error message :-(

So downgrading to FW 6.5. is not the best idea? Any other option? Anyone made the LMS run with FW 6 6 0 (and RN204)?

Cheers :-/

  Downgrading is only a good idea if you are prepared to backup everything (twice, preferably...).
  For most that is just too much hassle. If you are in a hurry: Buy a Pi and follow the recipe I linked to above TUTORIAL: Stand alone Squeezebox server and player for BBQ

    Since the Update I can't open the LMS and have no access anymore to the Log (IP:9000/server.log) :-(
    
    Is there a different way to find & copy the log file?

I'm having the same problem as described in this thread, but my NAS is a Intel based ReadyNAS system (ReadyNAS 516). So it's not just an ARM based ReadyNAS problem.

Now i’m up and running again :smileyvery-happy:

First I uninstalled the app from the Admin Page: Apps

Then I ssh and ran the command: "apt-get purge logitechmediaserver", subsequently I manuel deleted the library: /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/prefs, because the ”apt-get purge logitechmediaserver” command did not remove this directory.

Finaly i installed the app ”Logitech Media Server NT (v7.9.0.b7dfc80-nt1)” found under the Admin Page: Apps > Available Apps.

Logitech Media Server NT by NAStools, see: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Community-Add-ons/Apps-by-NAStools/td-p/1065415

  Unfortunately m-frank's solution doesn't seem to work on my RN104. I still cannot start the LMS. i.e. it switches off immedialtely on the 'Apps'-page, just like before. Not really surprising because, apart from the prefs-dir (/var/lib...), I had already done this and I couldn't fathom why the prefs-dir could pose a problem.
  Back to the drawing board...:smileyhappy:

Every time Netgear does an update it creates a whole set of new problems for their users. It is very irresponsible to release such buggy software before it is properly tested. I will simply not update again till they get this fixed. I have seriously considered getting rid of these servers and going with a more dependable product.

  There certainly were too many bugs in some of the previous ReadyNAS releases this year, but I don't think its fair to blame Netgear for the LMS issue.
  
  OS 6.6 included a kernel update (to Debian Jesse), and these apps generally hadn't been updated in a very long time. Personally I don't consider this to be a bug. Windows 10 didn't work with some of my old Windows XP programs, and I don't consider those bugs in Win 10 either.
  
  If Netgear never updates the OS version, then over time it becomes vulnerable to security vulnerabilitles - and newer linux programs can't be installed. So I think there is a need to stay reasonably current.
  
  Something like docker might be a better path for apps - there's an idea there on the idea exchange that you might consider voting for.
