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.
I tried removing logitech media server from my rn212 using SSH and ran into lock and root access problems. Since this is a new rn212 it wasn't to hard to do a factory reset and resync the drives. Only 2 TB for now. So in the apps section LMS is not there, actually it left yesterday but I thought my attempt to install it was the reason and this is the case with all other apps that get installed. Anyway, it was not there. I went to the nightly build and downloaded logitechmediaserver_7.9.0~1476850390_arm.deb. then I uploaded it using the upload feature in the apps section and the message I got was "Wed Oct 19 2016 12:32:07 System: Application logitechmediaserver_7.9.0~1476850390_arm.deb is installed successfully". When I check the installed aps list nothing is there. I tried selecting the server using http://192.168.1.28:9000, nothing, "page cannot be displayed". Any help out there? I purchased the server specifically to run the LMS. Thanks
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 logitechmediaserver
If it not completly removed delete the remaining folder.
wget http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/7.9/sc/b1a775c/logitechmediaserver_7.9.0~1476850390_all.deb
dpkg -i logitechmediaserver_7.9.0~1476850390_all.deb
service logitechmediaserver stop
wget http://server.vijge.net/static/squeezebox/arm-linux-gnueabi-thread-multi-64int.tar.gz
tar -xf arm-linux-gnueabi-thread-multi-64int.tar.gz -C /usr/share/squeezeboxserver/CPAN/arch/5.20
Reboot.

Guess this is the trick
wget http://server.vijge.net/static/squeezebox/arm-linux-gnueabi-thread-multi-64int.tar.gz
tar -xf arm-linux-gnueabi-thread-multi-64int.tar.gz -C /usr/share/squeezeboxserver/CPAN/arch/5.20
Have not done any further testing or installed Poussin plugin. LMS starts and shows the Wizard page.
Uploaded Poussin plugin 1.0.9 and Stop\Start\Launch works.
Have installed this before. Not sure if it's needed.
Alternatively the libc6:armhf package can be downloaded from our repository and uploaded to the NAS (Apps > Upload), for those uncomfortable with SSH access. An apt-get update will be performed as part of the installation.
(Why can't I edit my own post?)
Thank yo so much. This worked for me. LMS can be accessed fron ip:9000. It still doesn't show up in the installed apps page but I'm sure its due to the way we installed LMS. Thanks again

Confirmed!
This made my squeezeboxserver work too on my RN102.
No, it does not show up on the ReadyNAS admin pages, but my players can use it.
Further testing and ReadyNAS integration fixes pending, it seems the most impatient users can now avoid factory resets!
Hi,
I can also confirm that I got LMS running again on my RM102 thanks to the instructions by Otto in messages 71 & 72!
Some findings:
- You can also upload the nightly LMS via the NAS GUI after the purge of the Super-Poussin and present LMS packages.
- /var/log/squeezeboxserver/server.log is useful if the LMS does does not start even after purge and installing the arm-linux-gnueabi-thread-multi-64int.tar.gz
- I did not delete the whole /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/prefs folder, but needed to modify the server.prefs file because some dbsource and other references to the NAStools version of LMS (/apps/nastools-logitechmediaserver/)
- So if you are still having problems to use the NAStools LMS, then either check server.prefs or delete all folders related to Super-Poussin, nightly LMS and NAStools LMS, if you have used them all before you install either SP & nightly or NAStools.
- I will not test the NAStools version for the time being, as the nightly LMS started working on it's own from command line (service logitechmediaserver start), but I obviously installed the great Super-Poussin Add-on for GUI control of LMS.
Many thanks to all contributors

P.S I happened to be testing LMS on a spare laptop when this whole incident started, so I was able play all my music on all the devices without any hassles, but I'm still glad the NAS LMS is working again. NAS & LMS is just great together :-)
