Squeezebox Radio would not connect to LMS 8: "Update required"

[slartibartfast]

The problem is the third party plugins under "Patch installer" are not available to the community firmware.

Which ones are you using?

I am using the "Low volume fallback alarm", "Green highlight" and "Replace Font". When I update my radios to community firmware, there are no plugins available under the Patch Installer menu.

Radio has problem connecting

UE Radio is on firmware 8.01, Server on 8.2.
Before upgrading the wireless signal was prone to dropping out but usually connected well initially.

I had a two week period of perfect connection but for past three days there is no connection to server until I manually connect to the network on the Radio and navigate to the channel i want. Then the Radio appears as a player on material skin and I can control it with my phone and acquire logs etc.

The router shows the Radio on its expected IP address. Once connection is made its stable.

I have reinstalled firmware several times but no improvement.
I can switch off the Radio and on power on it will occasionally reconnect.
I leave it on overnight, and in the morning and have to reconnect to WiFi using the menu on radio.

Edit. I noticed the WiFi icon shows blue when it drops. I brought the radio close to the router but that didn't help it reconnect.
Shutdown and restart of radio did work.

If you only came here after you installed LMS 8, here are some options:

• Temporarily connect your Radio to mysqueezebox.com: in the Radio's menu go to Settings/Advanced/Networking/Connect to mysqueezebox.com
• Install LMS 7.x on a secondary machine. Connect your Radio to that new server to install the patch. Then re-connect to LMS8 and uninstall that LMS 7.x.
• Last resort: downgrade your installation to LMS7, do the patch, update again.

Hi Michael (and others)

I am in this case:
- LMS 8.1.1 automatically updated ("justifiably" docker on QNAP)
- my 3 Squeezebox still at 7.7.3 firmware with the warning (and of course no applet/patch installer available in the menu)
To avoid solution 2 (install 7.9 somewhere else), I have tried solution 1 on one of my 3 SB, restarted, but... even connected to mysqueezebox.com (and even one hour after and 2nd reboot), still no applet/patch installer (and if I go to firmware menu, says I have the latest 7.7.3 version).
Any advice? Doing something wrong?

"No patches found"

Hi,

I have LMS 7.9.3 running on RaspPi via Max2Play. Trying to formally patch my radios for the version bug, but having installed 7.9.3 and installed the Patch manager app, when I go to the Patch manager, it responds with "No patches found".

Have I missed a setting somewhere?

Thanks

Robert

* Update* - solved, I think there was an issue with connecting to repository. Now solved and patches applied. Many thanks

Hello,
I have this problem too. I used to run my SBR with LMS v7 and then 8.0.0 - 160589207. SBR worked very well.
I now have a new LMS installation on an RPI running piCorePlayer v8.1.0. SBR does not connect.
In accordance with above quote I wanted to connect my SBR to mysqueezebox.com but it wouldn't let me. I haven't used mysqueezebox.com in a long time but the account is still working. But SBR doesn't appear there. I have no idea about how to connect.
I really wish I could update to the user-made firmware version for the SBR. But this is still not possible? Couldn't I download the patch and manually include it into any LMS version?

Are you sure SBR is setup with your correct MySB.com account? SBR > Settings > MySB.com (I think) will show which account SBR is using.
If not the correct account you can do a Factory Reset on SBR and the initial setup screens will ask if you want SBR to keep current account or create a new one (i.e the correct one).

Thanks I might have to try this. I can login to my SB account through a browser but I cannot make the SBR connect ie its menu entry is not responsive. My SBR is listed as "not connected".
I completely forgot how to do this I haven't used mySB.com in years.

How do I connet to MySB.com?

Can someone please explain how I can connect my SBR to mySB.com? The menu entry on the radio is non responsive.

Power cycle the Radio and try again before doing anything else.

Oh I didn't read this in time. I don't know what power cycle would mean - reset the radio?
As of now mysb.com says the player is connected but I cannot do anything in the browser interface apart from setting the alarm.
On the radio I cannot select network type/mysb.com.

Its a fancy way of saying :." Have you tried to switch it off and on again? ". [emoji14]

Ps.. That's if you ever seen "The IT Crowd"
