Logitech Media Server by Super-Poisson not compatible with 6.6.0
In addition to the NasTools version the Super-Poisson version 1.0.6 does not work after upgrading to 6.6.0.
Super-Poussin,
Which log would you like to see? dpkg.log? install-debpkg.log?
just like Alpcrow i have the same problem and i tried the same thing: putting lms on my raspi 2 PiCorePlayer.But i failed.
I want to know how you did configure the LMS server on the picoreplayer to fill the library from the readynas?
I've been trying that using UNC(\name nas\folder) paths but PiCorePlayer just wont take it. it simply sets it back to some root folder on the device.
Is there a trick to it?
Also I am looking forward to have an updated packadge from Super-Poussin. Since he is looking at this tread i got an additional question. The poussin packadge previously has reported to be an LMS 7.9 version. Is this correct?
If you have a RaspberryPi it is pretty easy to set-up.
- First install piCorePlayer from https://sites.google.com/site/picoreplayer/home and connect to your network
- Enable LMS (not enabled by default) and set-up
- On your NAS you will probably already be running SMS (aka SMB/CIFS, SAMBA) or NFS. If not, enable one of them from the ReadyNAS Admin/System/Settings console
- In the LMS table on the piCorePlayer you will need to "Install and Enable additional FileSystems", which will install CIFS and NFS support.
- To allow LMS to see your music collection on the NAS you will need to mount it. You do this in the "Setup Network Disk Mount" section on the LMS tab. For SMB/CIFS choose the share type to be CIFS and enter the IP Address, the server share name (in my case it is "Music"), the user name (probably guest) and the password if any. For NFS you will need choose the share type as NFS and enter the complete volume name e.g. /volume1/Music
- You can set the LMS to store your preferences on your NAS (the deafult is the SD card) in the "Save LMS Server Cache and Preferences to Mounted Drive"
- Once it is up and running you can access the LMS in the normal way with IP Address:9000. Before you see your music you will need to force a scan of your collection. I have a large music collection so it took an hour or two to do this. During this time you will get some drop-outs if you are playing music at the same time (at least over wifi and synching another player too).
- Then you are on your way and can enjoy your music again.
I hope that helps.
