Not sure. Any hint in server.log?

I tried again on 7.7.3 and the patches appeared. So I guess anyone who can't live without any of the patches should not update to the new firmware.

Please give the latest nightly build another try (8.0.1 or 8.1.0).

Updated to LMS Version: 8.0.1 - 1608617100 and then updated both Radio and Touch successfully.

Many thanks Michael and Ralphy.

I've got a Radio and so this thread intrigued me. Like tw99, though, I have no idea what this is or what it does, and nowhere does it seem to tell us. An explanation wold be nice... or maybe it's a nerd-only thing, where if you need to ask you obviously don't qualify.

quite,

thanks to ralphy for taking the time to do this, but not sure what improvements are supposed to be addressed with this?

See the changelog that is linked to in the first post - or in mherger's post 7 before yours.

It fixes the issue where the bass amp would drop out. If you have never come across this issue you have been very lucky.

Just updated my seldom-used Controller without a blip. I discovered I was behind a previous Logitech update anyway. Not sure what this update did, but I do appreciate any and all efforts to keep this Squeezebox system alive and thriving!

Thanks, guys!

Well, it will stop the "bouncing" menu lines that you will have become accustomed to over the years...

Just updated 3 Radio's and 3 Touches with no problems so far. (LMS 8.0.1 on Synology)

A huge thank you to Ralphy (and Michael).

At times like this I have a smug grin on my face thinking how clever I was going down the Squeezebox route all those years ago.

Yes installed and enabled, also checking for updates enabled.

As I reported earlier I did receive an update for 8.0.1 once on the Squeezebox radio, but after install I was still on 7.7.3.

edit: Manual install for 7.8 worked, maybe I could do it manually for 8.0.1 too? Can I download the files somewhere?

Don't you even see the firmware downloading?
