I tried if I could convince my radio to use a 7.3.3 server (which I
can't upgrade for the same reasons -> no update yet for my arm-based
linkstation).
The good news: it is possible (see below).
The bad news: I'm only able to play local music now (and in the 'now
playing'-screen the artwork is shown too big). internetradio isn't
working (as well as -of course- trying to use 'Apps').
I guess that's because SqueezeNetwork isn't working anymore
(mysqueezebox.com now) - I guess somewhere on the server the URL might
need to be changed as well.
So if local music is the only thing you need, you might try the
following:
- active remote access on the radio (Settings->Advanced-Remote Login)
- connect with a program like WinSCP (search the wiki for it)
- edit the file '/usr/share/jive/applets/ChooseMusicSourceApplet.lua'
(double click in WinSCP)
- around line 402 you will find a method 'selectServer' some line below
you will find the lines
Code:
--------------------
if server:getVersion() and not server:isCompatible() then
--we only know if compatible if serverstatus has come back,
other version will be nil, and we shouldn't assume not compatible
_serverVersionError(self, server)
return
end
--------------------
You need to disable the lines in the middle, so changes them to look
like the following (see red markup):
Code:
--------------------
if server:getVersion() and not server:isCompatible() then
--we only know if compatible if serverstatus has come back,
other version will be nil, and we shouldn't assume not compatible
*--*_serverVersionError(self, server)
*--*return
end
--------------------
- save the file and restart radio
Of course I don't know what else might not be working.
