[slim] Install woes Jammy Jellyfish
Hi guys following an issue with LMS not starting due to /var/log being 100% used I decided to start afresh and replace the OS on my SBC with Jammy Jellyfish ( complete wipe and reflash ) all is cool except LMS install is giving me errors. I downloaded the latest nightly and installed with dpkg - I was told there were unmet dependencies and the install failed - I resolved these by running apt -f install. But when I checked the status of LMS with systemctl status logitechmediaserver.service I see this Code: If you're running some unsupported Linux/Unix platform, please use the buildme.sh Nov 08 15:16:32 M4V201 squeezeboxserver[13233]: script located here: Nov 08 15:16:32 M4V201 squeezeboxserver[13233]: https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver-vendor/tree/public/8.3/CPAN Nov 08 15:16:32 M4V201 squeezeboxserver[13233]: If 8.3 is outdated by the time you read this, Replace "8.3" with the major version Nov 08 15:16:32 M4V201 squeezeboxserver[13233]: You should never need to do this if you're on Windows or Mac OSX.

Hi Rob, thanks once again for your help, I have made some progress, I replaced the NUC as the music source, with one of my NanopiM4 SBC boards, installed LMS and Squeezlite on it - fired it up and SUCCESS NOT ONE JUMP !!! , so I concluded it must be the USB on the NUC causing the problem.

Are you saying the LMS server is running on your NAS ? also I can't see why your hard drives are working so hard as the API in LMS ( which is how Documenter talks to LMS ) is just issuing call's to the database and shouldn't cause much disk activity.

Sounds like a pretty cool setup - one thing you didn't mention is what your music files sit on - this can affect scan time big time. I have mine on a M2 SSD and scan time is 2 or 3 minutes. You can get an M2 to USB caddy and plug it in to the pi - another thing to keep in mind with pi's is the power supply ( get a good one ) and get a good quality powered USB hub for any accessories ( like an external drive ).

Re: [slim] LMS Documenter Part II
Hi all, some of you with very large collection were experiencing timeouts / crashes when the program was scanning your music library - I've attempted to rewrite the load code to run asynchronously and believe It may help - I can't really test it properly as my collection only has about 5500 tracks with 300 or so albums but mine loads in under 15 seconds. Can those of you having issues please download it and try it out. I'm also taking things like the delay bar away to try and keep everything as simple as possible. I would also like your opinions on whether to remove the scan for servers function as I imagine most of you enter it manually now ( I do ). Let me know how you get on.

Re: [slim] LMS Documenter Part II
Hi All, just to let you know as some of you have asked for it, you can now create a pdf of of your albums ( grouped by artist so you can find things quickly ) only. Check the Album List check box before you click the Generate PDF button ( obviously you first have to connect to your server and scan the music library as usual ) you can enter a font size I find 15 is good for me. We can't stop here this is bat country.

Re: [slim] LMS Documenter Part II
Just to update you know why the server discovery doesn't work when the server is on the same box as the Documenter. It's because you can't have two processes listening on the same ip address/port combination. The way LMS works is, it listens for client requests on UDP port 3483 and returns what they call a response packet back to any client requests, the response packet contains the port number and other stuff neccesary for a connection. But if the client is running on the same box as the server there is a conflict because you end up with two identical ip/port combinations. So if you have this local setup you have to enter it manually. Personally I have a raspberry pi fitted with a HiFiBerry DAC and an external drive for my music running 24/7 on my LAN - it's pretty easy to setup and sounds amazing through my Meridian setup. There's plenty on here that explains how to set this up. We can't stop here this is bat country.
