Well, got a Chromecast Audio today and I'm quite impressed with it generally. Had some issues with clicks and pops on the analogue audio output but that turned out to be a ground loop. However, when I tried to install the 'Chromecast bridge' plugin from the list of 3rd party apps on the Settings/Plugins page of LMS, all that happens upon restarting LMS is that I see 'Chromecast bridge' in the last of 'Updated Plugins Available' at the top of the page (given as v 0.1.2.0). It's not installed in 'Active plugins' and no matter how many times I check the box and then click 'Apply' and then 'Restart Now' it just sits in the Updated Plugins box, it never installs and activates. Admittedly I am using a super-old NAS (QNAP TS-109) and LMS is at 7.7.2 which I think was the last official package update for that NAS. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ slimfast's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=29669 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104383 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
