[Announce] Community Firmware for Squeezebox Radio/Touch/Controller and LMS 8

[mbg]

Just applied to one Touch and three Radios without any issues - thanks for this!

Had the Radio "found no networks" problem, but manual entry worked.

Error downloading community firmware

I installed and enabled the LMS plugin for community firmware, but the server gets an error trying to download it:

[20-12-25 14:19:02.1379] Slim::Utils::Firmware::downloadAsyncError (580) Warning: Firmware: Failed to download https://ralph_irving.gitlab.io/lms-community-firmware/update/firmware/8.1.0/baby.version (Connect timed out: Bad file descriptor), will try again in 40 minutes.

[20-12-25 14:19:03.2378] Slim::Utils::Firmware::init_fw_error (251) fab4 firmware download had an error

I wonder about that ralph_irving.gitlab.io URL, since underscores are disallowed in DNS hostnames. Any chance it can be changed?

EDIT: I think the main problem is that I'm running LMS 8.1.0, and there's no 8.1.0 directory on the gitlab server. I assume I can just download from the 8.0.1 directory and use the "custom" names.....
EDIT2: Well, curl and wget can access 8.1.0/baby.version and 8.1.0/fab4.version, so there's something wrong with Perl/LMS accessing that URL. I have perl v5.22.1 on Ubuntu 16.04.

Most likely this is IO::Socket::SSL or one of its dependencies being
outdated. What version are you using (see Settings/Information)?

Same Bad file descripter error

Hi Michael and rfunk, it seems that I've got the same issues:

[20-12-26 11:34:52.4315] Slim::Utils::Firmware::downloadAsyncError (580) Warning: Firmware: Failed to download https://ralph_irving.gitlab.io/lms-community-firmware/update/firmware/8.1.1/jive.version (Connect timed out: Bad file descriptor), will try again in 80 minutes.

Ouch..

Ouch...

sudo apt-get install libio-socket-ssl-perl

returns:

libio-socket-ssl-perl is already the newest version (2.024-1).

So, I guess I have to update Ubuntu? Because I see version 2.067-1 only for Ubuntu 20.04.

Hope that anybody knows a quicker solution...

Cheers!

Some people have had success updating using CPAN

perl -MCPAN -e shell
install IO::Socket::SSL

Wow, this works perfectly, thanks so much!
The LMS community continues to amaze me...

Gentlemen:


Question: What specific added (asked for?) features for Touch users, in any, are provided in this recently-released "Community Firmware" update?

Was this question ever answered, may be I missed it.

anyone, please point to the features for SBT with this community firmware?

For the Touch, it's really just bugfixes and package updates. Plus it looks like the option to have a local server has been removed.

And removal of WMA support, if you upgrade and want to play WMA files you will need to add the WMA plugin to LMS, unless you run LMS on Windows.

Thank you Ralphy!

Thanks Ralphy. I didn’t think these would ever get another firmware update!

Is the screen brightness bug on the Controller that Logitech never addressed something you could look to fix in a future update? If you set the brightness low it will eventually forget the setting and revert back to full brightness.

@MHerger. LMS still reports that my Radios need patching. Cosmetic I know but can this message be removed if LMS sees an 8.1 firmware?

Best,

HB

unfortunately my system is refusing to download (or even try) the new firmware

i have LMS 8.1.0 working correctly, the new firmware plugin enabled, the software updates enabled and logging of firmware set to debug, but the log shows no signs of any firmware or baby downloads at all
my radios are definately pointing at my LMS server

any suggestions? i could manually add the files as custom.baby.bin and custom.baby.version if someone can point me where to download them but id rather get this working properly

Check that you have also enabled the community firmware download under the advanced settings and have not just installed the app.
