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.

That is *not* the behavior for LMS, unfortunately. I think NAStools said that he'd created a version of LMS that avoided this issue, but S-P's implementation of LMS definitely puts the database in /var/lib. That has helped to fill my root volume to 40% after a factory reset.

 

So if I symlink the "squeezeboxserver" folder to /apps it won't take up any space on the root volume? And if so, what's the best way to create a symlink?

Actually: that isn't Super-Poussin's fault, it's the behaviour of the nightly installer. The LMS-plug-in just 'finds' the LMS-server and switches it on (or off) from the Apps-page in the webinterface.

On the whole I'd say that installing on /apps is a better idea, especially for those of us who have really large numbers of (media-)files, So what would (we) need to be done (do)?

 

  1. I noticed that NASTools updated his version at the beginning of november, but it still hasn't shown up on the 'installable apps' page in the webinterface. Why? This would be the easiest solution for most users.
  2. We could write an instruction on how to make a squeezeboxserver' dir in /apps and a symbolic link to that dir from /var/lib/squeezeboxserver with ln (for usage type in ln --help) and how to install the nightly-LMS and S-P's LMS-plug-in. That would/could/might be a bit complicated for some users.

But I'd say that 1. is definately the better optiion...:smileyhappy:

 

So could somebody (at Netgear, I  presume) just give that version a test and put it in the 'downloadable apps'-page?
