I installed LMS on an Ubuntu 16.04 box using the logitechmediaserver_8.1.1_amd64.deb package. After installing it, I was able to access the web server at <ip address>:9000 and saw it asking me to log into my mysqueezebox account. I did this just make sure it was installed correctly. I then changed...

I am running the latest version of the LMS on a current Ubuntu machine

It does not recognize newer FLAC rips. But, the same directory structure works on MacOS. I removed

I've just moved to Ubuntu from a window environment. I have the server running and if I use a /home/mike/Music -- where the are some flac files -- it works fine. However the mount doesn't show on the brows/select button nor can I set the Media Folder to what I think is the mount point: smb://nas-...

I have a persistent problem with Spotify due to the Helper app not running (according to the test under Settings) on an Ubuntu server. Until recently I solved it by doing a manual sudo service logitechmediaserver restart, however this isn't working anymore. I'm using the lastest version 7.9.0 - 145...

I spent the morning on this so I thought I'd like to share it in case it saves someone some time.
After a recent update of Ubuntu Trusty my logitechmediaserver stopped working.

Hiya, I've recently upgraded to Ubuntu Server 14.04.1 LTS and found LMS not working. If you don't use a MySQL DB it will work fine, because it's complaining about the version of DBD::mysql.

Turns out the version of DBD::mysql supplied with Ubuntu Server 14.04.1 LTS is not compatible with...
