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.
Hi Geddy, how are you updating the app version of LMS to the lastest build?
FWIW I have the latest firmware working with the latest default 'app' version of LMS. I have had a Readynas running LMS since the early ReadynasDUO days :)

HI Mickatroid,
I use the Beta version http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/?ver=7.9 which is very stable, but here is the "Official" 7.9.0 if you want a more tested version http://downloads.slimdevices.com/LogitechMediaServer_v7.9.0/
Uploading on OS 6.x.x is done on Apps tab via the "Upload" button, similar on OS 4.x.x if you're still using ReadyNas Duo.. In OS 6 you need the Poussin plug-in to have the ON/OFF option & icon on apps tag. Download links for Poussin (1.0.9 and 7.9.0) found earlier in this same thread.
The NAStools version of LMS https://github.com/nastools/logitechmediaserver has not been updated for a while, but works ok I guess :-) Have not used it since the OS 6.6.0 update...

Thanks Ken. I will have to read the earlier part of the thread more carefully.
I have had mixed results with manual installation of updates of LMS with the Super P's packages (though always got there in the end). As for the nightlies I would need to start by figuring out which Debian package I needed (I am guessing x86_64). Do you roll it over the top of the app version or do a clean install?
In any case, having had a good look at it all I won't be doing it right away. The ReadyNAS 'App' is version 7.9.0 for me (I just checked) and the changelog on 7.9.1 does not contain any killer changes.
FWIW, given the increasing rareity of Squeezeboxes, I have recently tried a LMS to ChromeCast Audio bridge plugin without sucess but am not done yet. There is also a DLNA bridge too (both by Philippe). Both will, when working, apparently make DLNA devices that support remote management and ChromeCast Audio devicies appear as squeezeboxes. Sweet :)
:smileytongue:
Lot's of questions asked... I'll just use bullet points to make it easier to read
- Did clean everything related to LMS (Nightly & NAStools) from NAS during the 6.6.0 incident via SSL as discussed earlier in this thread. Took backups first for favourites and other settings.
- Before 6.6.0 i did not clean up but installed new nightly on previous, same now with 6.6.0 forward, have not noticed any problems (yet) with straight forward updating
- My RN102 LMS works on both arm.deb- & all.deb-packages, don't know what system your LMS is running on so please check somewhere what operating system. Not much difference in features between 7.9.0 and nightly 7.9.1
- I have the bridge plug-ins installed for both chromecast and UPnP/DLNA. I can use chromecast, TV and Amp as LMS players but they don't support reliably 192/24 and DTS FLAC's so I never use them. I have 2* Touch for playback, one with the 192 option and other also with analog output for wireless headphones. I have a 4 Zone setup but as the Amp plays e.g. net radio (Radio Paradise is my favourite station) I'm fine with 2 squeezebox players.
and what more to say....
Oh yes, a hint for anyone struggeling with LMS playback..
- Use a PC/laptop (a spare if possible) with HDMI-output, connect it to your amp (HDMI), install SqueezePlay on the PC, setup so you can control the PC SqueezePlay player via other PC/Mobile/Tablet Squeezebox control app and you have a LMS setup which plays 192/24, DSD 176/24, 6 channel PCM 96/24 and everything else you have on your LMS. DTS & DD playback might be tricky unless your LMS is running on the PC in question.. If you only hear static noise with DTS you've got a problem :- And you don't even have to touch the PC so it can be out of sight unless you want to see what's playing on the laptop screen. Or if your Amp is connected to a TV/Monitor you see the large SqueezePlay now playing info if needed.
- This setup only needs 2 audio playback setup changes on PC if you have multichannel PCM files. Change speaker setup on PC to 5.1 and allow 192/24 playback to get the most out of the system.
