I see little movement on the development front? What's up?

It's great it's perfect for you, it isn't for me. I have a large library and I have audio cutting out on scanning for new music. Random crashing for no known reason, no event log erros or LMS log errors. The art from certain internet stations don't show properly in the web interface etc etc.Originally posted by Ikabob
Bug fixes never have negative effect on functionality. Well unless they cause more bugs...Last edited by Jeff Flowerday; 2012-01-27, 15:35.Squeezelite->SOTM USB->Devialet 200->Focal 1028BE speakers -
Given recent events I'm a little concerned about the continued support for LMS and Squeezeboxes. The Logitech CEO has been quoted saying that the Revue was a mistake and by the looks of it there will be no next generation Revue (Google TV hardware from Logitech). The SBS was renamed LMS to reflect added DLNA support for the Revue. The Revue has/had a lot more visibility than the Squeezeboxes ever had and this, I thought, would keep the LMS server development going. Unless I see a next generation Squeezebox in the next couple months, I don't see a compelling "business" reason for Logitech to continue to invest resources to keep this product line supported. I don't see folks running to the corner store to buy Squeezeboxes or hear much buzz about this product line. I'm sad saying this and I hope to be proven wrong, but I just don't see how Logitech can continue to support the LMS server software without a next generation hardware product that depends on it.Last edited by tamanaco; 2012-01-27, 16:29.Comment

While there has been a grand total of just 1 non-cosmetic change to LMS in the past month, it looks like there is more activity on the SqueezeOS/SqueezePlay development front. See:
It makes one curious as to just what a MP2 or baby-MP2 might be, or what sort of sbradio hardware sports a rev. 7 board.Comment

I had a look on various sites last night and also there is no stock near me only 3rd party supplier on Amazon.
The rumours seem to be that Logitech are closing down the music streaming division as the competition from the likes of Apple i players and android devices point the way to the future and the development of LMS is down to a skeleton staff. Pure rumour and speculation gleaned from other sites.
Interesting that stock is very low and there were heavy discounts on Amazon recently also the future roadmap for LMS seems to stop at verion 8 dateline sometime 2012.
I certainly couldn't recommend the Touch to someone unless they were above average computer competent. My sister was looking for a similar device and went for a Roberts streaming radio for the kitchen, can connect to itunes and their music library, easy to set up, play podcasts etc.Touch optimisations http://touchsgotrythm.blogspot.co.uk/Comment

I can assure you that Logitech is supporting Squeezebox more than ever, and we are working on several things behind the scenes. For example, we have some large projects in the works to scale up MySB that will not be visible to users (unless we screw it up

It's being migrated to a new datacenter.

It's good to hear this, Andy. With the killing off of the Revue, the advent of Logitech AirPlay devices, and whatnot, the future was starting to look a little dim over in the Squeeze device neighborhood, with no known new products on the horizon. Glad to hear that Logitech still sees value in these devices and/or the server software, and hope that there is continued effort to release great new devices and software updates in the future!Squeezebox devices: Boom, Duet, and Radio
DLNA devices: Sony Bravia TV, WMP11 on Win7

I have two wishes
A Touch with enough computing power to run full LMS at full speed. And an ability to search by typing in a name and having it go to that name, or better yet have it have autocomplete as you type it in. This is for those of us with large libraries who operate our system from a computer.Comment

Thanks for chiming in Andy. That's great newsComment

Just because Logitech pulled the pin on Android TV based players doesn't mean Logitech is not seeking a DLNA/UPnP based all purpose media player(eg video/audio/picture) from themselves or someone else.
I think before long you will see the replacement for the Revue that will be making use of LMS.Comment

Yes!!! Excellent news!Comment

Great , excellent
Scale up as in functionality previusly not seen in lms ?
Return of old functionality , missing menus and custumisation options that dissapeared with " one browser " ?
The bugs what about them ?
I'll gues I have to stay curius for a while, very curius
I have some design wishes.
Make the scanning better in about a 100 different ways.
It's must be so good that end users do not notice other than the time spent at the initial scan, this should be the only full scan ever needed. Adding incrementally over the years should give you the exact identical dB as scanning the whole lot agian with the exceptions of the added dates .
Do not force rescans with updates build software that migrates old dB to new dB .
Store all information it's a dB rigth, do not rescan because some setting change for the UI on how to include or present artist or anything like that. It's for the aplication itself to fix this not the dB.
Do not crash the scanner, note " flawed " files in the scanner logs in human readable form with a fault description that makes sense to end users to ( of course keep the current info on where in the code it went wrong ) .
After not crashing it goes on building a dB with files it can read, so the user always end up with a usable system .
Do not interupt music playback when scanning ! Ever .
Make it yet again possible to BMF while scanning.
db should be avaible gradually so that you could start using lms while the dB is still being built.
Upgrades ? Keep mysqueezebox.com backwards compatible at least 2 major realeses . Users that do not upgrade can ofcourse not use new services or functionality or bugfixes.
Scanning and upgrades is many users main complains about the software, they are afraid of upgrades because they anticipate scanning problems to ? And the smattering of new bugs with each version.
If you got in favor again with more resources get your quality controll up and running again
