Can someone give me a clue? If you are interested in podcasts other than from the BBC, search for podcasts in your browser. Add a subject of interest, thus: "podcasts classical music RSS feed", "podcasts tropical plants RSS feed", etc. You are looking for the RSS feed to paste into LMS Podcasts tab in Server Settings. Or you can visit a website of a podcast you may have read about in a newspaper or in newsletter (The Guardian has a weekly podcasts email). For example, a popular podcast in the U.S. is 99% Invisible (99percentinvisible.org). From the home page, look for a clue on how to subscribe to the podcast. I found it by clicking the Subscribe drop-down menu. One of the menu items is "Podcast RSS." I copied the URL (http://feeds.99percentinvisible.org/99percentinvisible) and pasted that into the "Add a New Feed" box on the podcast plugin in Settings and clicked the Apply button on the lower-right of the screen to save it. Return to the LMS Home page and under My Apps click on Podcasts and you will see "99% Invisible" listed. Click on that to see a list of podcasts, sorted by latest (Nov. 17, 2020, "In The Unlikely Event"). Hope this is helpful.

Behavior of the progress bar on my phone is not what I expect. "Auto-hide Progress Bar" in Preferences > Controls is unchecked. On the "Now Playing" screen, however, the progress bar is not sticky. For example, when I leave the app (check my email, etc.) or my screen turns off and then I return to the app, the progress bar is gone. Tapping the album cover causes it to (re)appear -- but, should it not have disappeared in the first place?

MBL was throwing off repeated network down and intermittent network access errors. I think I fixed this problem. Here is how I did it: 1. Enable SSH on the MBL: http://mybooklive/ui/ssh 2. Login to the MBL via Putty to do a factory restore. Move any and all data stored on the drive to the public share and run the following command which will perform a factory restore without deleting data: /usr/local/sbin/factoryRestore.sh noreformat 3. Wait for awhile (30 minutes to an hour?) and then restart the MBL by pressing the reset button on the drive for four seconds. -- TimT TimT's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22971 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84735 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] WD MyBook Live NAS
I set my scan to not pre-cache artwork (it was hanging up there) and then purged LMS: aptitude purge logitechmediaserver Although the purge will remove configuration files, it will not remove the preferences folder. So when LMS is reinstalled and the WebUI is opened for the first time, it retains those preferences. Commands to reinstall LMS: MyBookLive:~# cd /shares/Public MyBookLive:/shares/Public# dpkg -i logitechmediaserver_7.7.2-33765_all.deb Here is the output of the initial and successful scan that launched immediately upon opening the WebUI: [12-01-09 23:28:53.6100] main::main (200) Starting Logitech Media Server scanner (v7.7.2, r33765, Mon Jan 9 02:03:45 PST 2012) perl 5.010001 [12-01-09 23:28:59.7259] Slim::Schema::forceCommit (2118) Warning: Trying to commit transactions before DB is initialized!

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] WD MyBook Live NAS
I was having scanning problems on the My Book Live on which I did a clean install yesterday of LMS 7.7.1. This afternoon, I uninstalled LMS 7.7.1 and reinstalled it. Scanned again, several times, still no joy. Then, I did two things which resulted in (apparently) a full scan: 1. Created user squeezeboxserver and gave it full r/w access to the Public share (in which my music files are stored); and 2. Changed the path to the music files from /DataVolume/shares/Public/Shared Music to /shares/Public/Shared Music. I then ran a Clear Library and Scan Everything scan. I watched the scanning progress: about 22 minutes to scan 8400 music files. Scanned playlists. Got about halfway through Pre-caching Artwork and stalled on one album, finally terminating unexpectedly. Nonetheless, it appears that all my music files have been scanned. I did disable Pre-caching Artwork in Settings/Advanced. Let me add: I was previously running LMS 7.7.1 with no scanning problems on a Asus netbook (Ubuntu 11.04) on the same network. -- TimT TimT's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22971 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84735 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Now i did a complete reset of mybook live nas and installed lms 7.7.1 again. Result: the web frontend did not run. Any ideas how to do a clean install of lms 7.7.1? Here is the command for a clean uninstall: apt-get --purge logitechmediaserver (If that doesn't seem to work, use dpkg instead of apt-get) Then follow the steps in this post for doing a clean install of 7.7.1. -- TimT TimT's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22971 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84735 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
