In theory, applets like scannerbox can probably work, but at the moment you need to enable a development menu and install them manually through ssh and the question is if the developer of scannerbox want to support UE Smart Radio under these conditions. erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96207 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] What features will no longer work if mysqueezebox.com is shut down?
I currently have 5 Slimdevices players, the newest being the SB3. I would like to future-proof my system with another hardware player or 2. Would it be best to just stick with the SB3? That way, I could possibly use much earlier and simpler versions of the server software, maybe even pre-mysqueezebox.com? Actually, it would be useful to know what the earliest server version is to support each hardware platform. For instance, the SB3 can use 5.41, but I assume the Touch can't. Does anyone have this info, which version is required for the SB3 and which version for the Touch?

I guess it depends if you like to be stuck in the past or if you like to be able to move on to something new in the future, due to the closed source firmware in Boom/Classic/Transporter I think they are less likely to work with something new in the future.

Thanks, Erland. I'm currently running 7.5.2, so I already have support for a Touch. The Touch would probably be the best bet, since I do have a small but growing collection of 24-bit music and much of it greater than 48kHz sampling rate.

I reckon supporting user takes way way more time than devleopment time (and can be more frustrating). Plugins to interface to commercial services such as Deezer could be fraught with legal issues (e.g. possibility of copying) and using APIs may require legal undertakings.

LMS does not need MySB.com to play basic URL's, like those saved or input into your LMS Favorites. But you will lose menu navigation of everything within Internet Radio and My Apps absent MySB.com. The other issue is subscription services handled by MySB.com (account login and management). You can emulate what LMS life will be like without MySB.com by simply removing your MySB.com login info (or enter bogus login info) within LMS MySB.com. toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96207 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Considering all the clever plugins availabe (which is one of the things that makes the SB system so impressive) I wouldn't be all that surprised to see someone coming up with a plugin or somesuch that made at least some online services available to SB users even after MySB is dropped, perhaps by mimicking a new Radio towards the new backend.

Re: [slim] What features will no longer work if mysqueezebox.com is shut down?
Yesterday when all this was breaking news, I was in the midst of browsing TigerDirect for a suitable UPS for a particular purpose. I noticed they had the Touch available for a reasonable price, and when I ordered my UPS I ordered a Touch. It will sit in a box along with my OTHER spare Touch, although I may set both of them up temporarily in order to update firmware. R.

Re: [slim] What features will no longer work if mysqueezebox.com is shut down?
I only have a few questions: If/when mysqueezebox.com goes offline can I still listen to Internet radio via LMS? I assume LMS will last as long as you want it to (forever if you like) and Logitech can't shut this down as it's downloaded software. There will just be no further support (updates) for LMS. Correct? DO I NEED TO TELL MY PLAYERS NOT TO AUTOMATICALLY UPDATE FIRMWARE AS I DON'T WANT THEM TO GET THE NEW UE UPDATE? Last point is crucial for continued LMS compatibility I feel.

Re: [slim] What features will no longer work if mysqueezebox.com is shut down?
Yes, you can use direct stream URL's in LMS absent MySB.com. The problem would be subscription services. No, SB hardware will not just update to UE some day. The only player that is even capable of being updated to UE is the SB Radio, and I'd guess that requires downloading the new UE server and connecting the Radio to that new UE server, and might even be more involved than that, I dunno. toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96207 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Yes, in it's current form, as long as you keep the original LMS download on your computer and you don't use LMS beyond it's current OS support. Will LMS development, updates, bug fixes continue forever? Of course not. I still use some VHS tapes on occasion, but I'm not expecting any firmware updates for that VHS player. ;) toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96207 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I have both my touch and Radio connected to my local LMS, and I have both Touch and Radio updating their firmwares some time after I installed new releases of LMS. So it appears that Touch and Radio get their firmware files from some other server out there. travelfotografer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=48355 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96207 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

That functionality could be returned in a third party plugin. Until mysb.com disappears, there's no incentive for anyone to develop such a plugin. How about setting up a new Touch, if, say, I were to get a spare? I remember having to enter a mysqueezebox.com user name and password, but I don't know if this is strictly necessary. It's not obvious, but mysb.com registration can be bypassed by swiping the screen (L-R, IIRC) at that point in the setup.

[slim] What features will no longer work if mysqueezebox.com is shut down?
I'm curious about this, as it isn't obvious on the surface what functionality is being provided by mysqueezebox.com behind the scenes. I run my touch from LMS with a laptop controlling the web interface. I browse shoutcast.com a lot. Do the features under the Internet Radio node in the LMS interface (Staff Picks, Local, Music, Talk, etc.) depend on mysqueezebox.com?
