Try out Whitebear. The middleware that joins the two worlds of:
1. UPnP/DLNA media clients and media players, and,
2. Squeezebox Server and Squeeze Players

Interestingly, I can run this branch and my Transporter connects to it. Scanning my music library now.
Hmm, this looks a bit strange, didn't Michael say that Random Mix wasn't part of it, it's still shown as a menu in the screenshot you posted.
There is a public/10.0 branch for squeezeos and squeezeplay also in git, has anyone tried if that makes it possible to see how the new UE Smart Radio user interface looks like.
Michael/Andy, if you see this and already knows, please give us some feedback where we can find the latest server and firmware source.
Well so far, 'public/10.0' seems very close to 'public/7.8'. The only thing I'm finding that's not working in my setup with 10.0 is Peter Watkin's PowerCenter plugin. Both my SrvrPowerCtrl and PostScan plugins seem to work OK.
So presumably UE 10.0 working with non UE hardware, random play, etc. is just a temporary fluke and everything we know and love about LMS will get winnowed out of this branch over the next few weeks.
Or am I completely wrong about that? Michael? Andy?

Ok, ok. Here's the secret. You're running slimserver.pl, _not_ ueml.pl.
Well done :-). That's basically LMS as you know it. It should support
Smart Radio as well, but integration is rough, and it still has some
issues (eg. the Random Play would show up on UESR, but it would lead to
the player hanging). It's largely untested, because not officially
supported. But it's what I'm running on my unsupported Linux server to
feed Radio, Transporter, Touch, Boom...

It's blue instead of teal, plus the new icons you see in the web UI. And
the order and number of menu items was shuffled once again.

You're there already. It's not the official path (that would be the 7.8
branch), but it's probably what will see the most love.

Some plugins simply failed due to some invalid version check (eg.
mine...). The additional number in the 10 broke some of the q'n'd version
checks. You might want to check running the server with --debug
server.plugins.

I know that you guys will do heroics, but long term that's not a sustainable situation. Currently, the SmartRadio firmware is fairly close to the old SB-Radio, the the gap to bridge is small. But, I expect the new product line will evolve (well, I hope for you guys), with new products and new features, and bridging that gap will become harder. At bit like running MySQL in the latest LMS, for example.
Also, I'm running TinyLMS, and I don't expect you will do a 10.X version of TinyLMS for the Touch.
So, good luck, guys, and thanks for everything you did...
Regards,
Looks to me that Alan and co should be congratulated for keeping LMS running in parallel to UEML - whilst UEML looks a bit too dumbed down for me and restrictive of what features we can add, it shares the same code base with LMS with features just disabled, so at least for the moment existing players and 3rd party plugins are still part of the support process. [I hope Logitech support build environments for both for a long time..., will avoid the community needing to fork anything for LMS]
Ability to extend the Smart Radio with 3rd party capability looks more worryingly limited. Perhaps this will drive community versions of the radio firmware which enable it to do more things or alternative hardware platforms which use LMS/Squeezeplay....?
