> I switch to MySqueezebox on the Joggler and although it is recognised

This should not be possible, unless you pretend to be using a hardware
Squeezebox. That's the kind of configuration which hurts us the most,
and which triggered this whole story :-(.

> Is this likely to be the 'status quo' now with regard to SqueezePlay and

The behaviour wrt. to Spotify has not changed recently. This simply is
not possible because you lack the SB firmware required to play Spotify.
Just stick with LMS.

Well thanks for the prompt reply, I was not aware that a spoof Mac address was being used, I thought that the Joggler was no different to a Raspberry pi in that respect.
I'll de-register it.

I just installed Jivelite on a Raspberry Pi running picoreplayer software using a 7 inch touchscreen. I noticed that none of "My Apps" show up under the "My Apps" folder on the Jivelite interface, but they still show up in the web server on my LMS and I can select them from there. I can also select a Pandora station, for example, that is saved as a Favorite under the Favorites tab on Jivelite.

I've verified that all my "software" players have vanished from mysb.com Could this change made at mysqb.com be the issue?

Hmm... this might be a newly introduced bug in the bunch of changes I
applied. Could it be you don't have any SB hardware at all registered to
your account?

Please enable debug logging for network.squeezenetwork and network.asynchttp,
try to to open the apps menu again, then post your server.log file.

This is "by design": as software players should never connect to
mysb.com directly, there's no need to manage them on mysb.com. The idea
behind the preference sync was to have the same settings, no matter
whether you were connected to mysb.com or your LMS. But if you can't
connect your player to mysb.com, why should it keep a copy of your
prefs? We have records in the dozens of millions stored in our database
which should never have been saved there. I'd like to get rid of this
overhead.

If you're experiencing missing "My Apps" items, then please make sure
you're running the very latest nightly build of whatever branch you're
on (7.7.6, 7.8.1 or 7.9.0). Your LMS should be built post April 7 2016.

I do not have any SB hardware, only software. As an aside, I do have the third party "Youtube" app in LMS and it's the only one that shows up in My Apps on the Jivelite. Also, when I go to the App Gallery in Jivelite and select Pandora, it says that it's already installed. My Apps should include Pandora, Slacker, Tunein, and SomaFM. Here is the Server.log info you asked for:

Well Michael, sorry for all the drama. Updating to the latest version of LMS fixed the issue. Thanks for your help.

[Mr. Bill]

Michael, Hello.

I (like others) have 3 genuine Squeezebox devices that were purchased as spares several years ago. These 3 devices were taken out of their boxes, connected to MSB several years ago to verify operation and then placed back in their factory packages. These were to be used if and when one of my other devices failed which they haven't since new in 2009.

My question is do I need to connect these device every few months to remain functional if and when needed or will/should genuine Squeezebox hardware devices not be affected by any of these changes?

Hopefully this question is not too far off topic.

Thanks for your continued support.

Bill

Updating to the latest version of LMS fixed the issue.

Not for me. I maintain several mysqueezebox accounts. I noticed yesterday that some of my accounts no longer have apps showing up. What's weird is some accounts are just fine. I figured out that the accounts that have no problems with apps showing up currently have, or have had at some point had a hardware player attached to the account. The accounts which have only had 'software players' attached, no longer have apps showing up.

So I did some testing:

Upgraded my server running 7.7.2, to the 7.7.6 nightly (logitechmediaserver_7.7.6~1460556530_all.deb). This server is running a squeezelite player. My account still does not show apps in LMS. I added factory reset my squeezebox radio and added it to this account. Suddenly, I have apps again in LMS. I can play everything I test. I turned off the squeezebox radio and deleted the device from mysqueezebox. Refreshed my LMS and my apps are gone.

Did this whole scenario again on a fresh raspberry pi build on the latest nightly, logitechmediaserver_7.9.0-1460557583_arm.deb. While the account has my squeezebox radio attached, it works fine. Once removed, I lose all my apps.

Now the weird thing is, I have 2 other accounts that are functioning just fine...These 2 accounts were at some point tied to a touch or a sb radio...they aren't anymore, but when I test with these accounts, all their apps show up in LMS just like they should.

Done. Just upgraded to the latest 7.8.1 nightly and my apps reappeared.
