ickStream Shutdown

[Breeker]

Yes, that sounds correct.

Folder doesn't exist, but when I do a 'systemclt - l status squeezeboxserver' I do get an errormessage regarding the Ickstream plugin '_ANON__(207) Failed to retrieve content services from [...]'

[Breeker]

Yes, that should be it.

If that doesn't work there is also a possibility to start LMS without loading any plugins with failsafe flag (so you can uninstall ickStream through web GUI) as described here:

Yes but I don't understand that, implying I don't know what you mean by 'edited / etc/ default/logitechmediaserver etc. in the case of my vortexbox. When I do a 'l' for a directorylist in the plugin folder I indeed see all my installed plugins, amongst Ickstream.

Which folder doesn't exist? I thought you wrote before that it's within the "InstalledPlugins" folder?

Yes Pippin - when I go to the Installed plugin folder (with the command cd /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache/InstalledPlugins) and then I do the command 'rm -r ./IckStreamPlugin' I get the message 'rm: cannot remove 'rm -r ./IckStreamPlugin' : no such file or directory.
Should I first try to delete IckStreamItemCache.db in /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache? UPDATE: a sudo did the trick! Now see if I can restart the server. Update: YES! WORKED! So along the way became a Unix programmer ;-)

it's ./ickStreamPlugin, not ./IckStreamPlugin

I've been an active user of Deezer with IckStream for quite some time now and have been very happy with it. This is really disappointing but understandable. Thanks for all your efforts and hard work.

I just have to ask -- is there a path to get Deezer to stream hi-res/FLAC via the mysqueezebox.com application?

thanks much... darien

Here is the thread to vote. Even if you don't use Deezer, can you guys still vote for this?

Are there any plans to release the centrally hosted code as open source?

Unfortunately, releasing the whole platform under open source is not an option due to restrictions imposed by our streaming service partners.

Theoretically we could release the parts of the central code which isn’t related to integration with streaming services but we have decided to not do that right now since there is a bit of work to package it and it wouldn’t be useful for anything without the streaming service integrations.

At this moment we would also prefer if someone was interested to take over the whole platform since that would mean that ickStream could continue to live and our streaming service integrations could be reused. Due to restrictions imposed by our streaming partners this would only be possible by licensing the technology or acquire the company.

The centrally hosted code is not really useful for personal use, it’s only useful for a company that wants to operate a centrally managed multi user platform.
