unfortunately my system is refusing to download (or even try) the new firmware i have LMS 8.1.0 working correctly, the new firmware plugin enabled, the software updates enabled and logging of firmware set to debug, but the log shows no signs of any firmware or baby downloads at all my radios are definately pointing at my LMS server any suggestions? i could manually add the files as custom.baby.bin and custom.baby.version if someone can point me where to download them but id rather get this working properly dunk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=47124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113479 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

my lms server is running on a pc next to the multi-room amp in a cupboard and isnt anywhere physical that i can link to using line-in and waveinput (which i cant get working reliably anyway as it always breaks with 2 analog inputs from usb soundcards which are required for my multiple virtual squeezelite players) so im left with a solution that is local to the record player - with a analog line-in that can send out a stream eg mp3 via wired or wireless ethernet that the lms server can connect to dunk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=47124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112447 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
