General discussion on LMS for OS6
Please discuss LMS for OS6 here. Continues from http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=155&t=70937
Hi. Hope it's OK to ask query on this thread regarding replacement of an old ReadyNas Duo V1. I've used this ReadyNas with the Logictech Media Server Add-on for several years to stream music from the NAS to a Logitech Duet and Logitech Radios as well as to a number of smart TVs. The NAS however has failed and I need to replace it. Posted on the Logitech Squeezebox forum about use of their add-on on newer ReadyNAS units (100 and 200 series) and was told the add-on only works on older Duo/NV v2 units but to check here for possible solutions. I found an entry here http://apps.readynas.com/pages/?page_id=9 for a Logitech Media Server app but would like to know for certain that this will allow me to stream music direct from new ReadyNas to my Duet and Radios before I commit to purchase. Appreciate it if someone could confirm this.
Thanks
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 Poussin
- At 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 Poussin
- At 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
I too am having trouble getting this to work on 6.4.2, and I really, really would like it to. Thanks if you have any updates to share!
Hi
Have LMS working on my RN212. The ReadyNas OS is at V6.5.0 (but see hear (https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/Windows-10-PCs-unable-to-access-Netgear-ReadyNas-after-6-5-0/td-p/1092777) for problems I encountered with this release with Windows 10.
I'm still not sure about which of the various releases of LMS are the "correct" ones to use nor can I remember exactly how I got it to work (I just couldn't find one place where I could get a definitive explanation) All I can tell you is the following about my setup. Under In the ReadyNas Admin Page I have a Logitech Media Server App shown as Developed by Poussin at V1.0.6. If I launch this and go to Settings/Information tab The LMS is shown as "Logitech Media Server Version: 7.7.3 - 1375965195 @ Mon Aug 12 03:09:39 PDT 2013". I can't be sure but I think I downloaded these either from https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ie9pwk1wut72ias/AACr8V9vMB2dC5lbj03l5VyDa/Logitech%20Media%20server?dl=0 or http://downloads.slimdevices.com/ (i.e. items 2. and 3. in my post of 2016-02-25). Later versions appear to be available but as everything appears to be working I'm not chancing an update!!
Hope this helps.
