Logitech Media Server 8.1.1 released!

[robinbowes]

Is 8.x available for FreeBSD 12 (specifically, TrueNAS - the successor to FreeNAS) ?

Thanks,

R.

No, you'd have to build the binaries yourself. Or somebody I don't know
did it.

What kind of subscription would you have? Please go the quality settings
menu in TIDAL and make sure you select the appropriate quality.

but that seems to have caused other problems...LMS is reading my NAS (Netgear 212) as available, but then it shows all music folders as empty BUT shows the correct number of listed tracks and albums!!

Hi as part of a server upgrade I have freshly installed LMS 8.1.1-1610364019 on Ubuntu 20.04 server, with two players, a Classic (SB3) and an old O2 Joggler running Squeezeplay 7.7.2 r9710 that sends output via USB into a DAC/Amp. The LMS and the players are all connected by wired ethernet. This combination of hardware worked fine yesterday on my "old" configuration with LMS 8.0.0.

Install of LMS went OK, as did the scan of my "Home" music library (some complaints about some APE tags, but otherwise fine). My old Classic is able to display the library contents correctly, and play tracks as normal.

The Joggler however, cannot see the music library at all. When I try to switch to My Music I get a screen saying "Update Software" and "Home needs to be updated to a newer version of the Logitech Media Server. Please visit mysqueezebox.com/downloads to download the latest version".

If I open the LMS web GUI, and select the Joggler, I can play tracks from the Home music library onto the Joggler. The joggler outputs the music, but there are no screen updates on it at all (the menus stay the same, it doesn't switch to the "Now Playing" screen etc).

The server.log contains:

I'm at something of a loss. Can anyone suggest what might be going on here?
Thanks, Richard

What folders are empty? How do you browse them?

i can use a web browser for LMS , ie. safari or i use iPeng to browse

when i write music folders i mean Album , Artist, Genre, (all under MyMusic)....

i am attaching a screenshot....

but i believe it may have something to do with updating openSSL on the old mac mini i am using running OSX Sierra (10.12.6.) ...maybe time to upgrade that Mac, as i am experiencing some other issues with contacting file servers from work which was not occurring before the update.

SSL has very little to do with the music library. In particular it's not
required at all while dealing with local music.

As a starter you should check your scanner.log. Did the latest scan
finish successfully? Try to re-run a full wipe & rescan? Can you "Browse
Musicfolder" in LMS?
