LMS 7.7 rc1

[andyg]

RC1 (r33410) is now available for testing:

http://downloads.slimdevices.com/Log...er_v7.7.0_rc1/

Currently we are targeting a release around October 3, which should leave ample time for testing.

Sounds like it is time for a changelog http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Nightly_Builds

Andy,

Can you update us on FreeNAS/SlimNAS support for the new LMS 7.7 please?

Thanks.

SlimNAS will require some more work due to additional dependencies. And
the name change...

Thanks Michael. Can I take that as a 'yes' in due course? :-)

I did try to instal LMS 7.7 (having changed the file name so that SlimNAS recognised it) but it failed to start!

For the brave only: http://www.herger.net/slim/slimnas-2.0.2.tgz

What's new:
- add support for Logitech Media Server

Please let me know if this is working for you. I tested successfully on
FreeNAS 0.7.2 Sabanda (revision 6694), while it failed on some older
build. Be warned!

Just installed RC1 and I'm experiencing the issues that I reported with build r33408 in the LMS thread. http://forums.slimdevices.com/showpo...&postcount=368

Btw, should we be using this thread to report issues with subsequent beta builds... say today's build r33414 or is this thread exclusive for this rc1 build. (Assuming LMS 7.7 rc1 is currently frozen at build r33410).

The web UI issue should be fixed in r33419

There will still be nightly builds with fixes on top of RC1. And there
will be another RC before release.

Extras menu with pictures should be working in the latest nighlies, at least it does for me

[bobertuk]

The latest LMS nightlies are going into 'new install' mode every day. For some reason the initial screen (mysqueezebox.com user name and password required!) is called and a full setup is needed - full rescan invoked and all preference lost. No log errors produced!

It's mostly just irritating but there is obviously a problem!

Which files do I need to backup so that I can just recover it each day rather than go through the complete re-setup process?

Thanks

Bob
