LMS is now running. Are there any other settings on the pCP pages that I need to be aware of? I have now accessed LMS with browser entry 192.168.0.26:9000 and note that the Plugin listing includes "Spotty, Spotify implementation for Squeezebox.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Spotty v1.1.0
The setup with piCorePlayer is just a case of installing the extra file system tools and then mounting the appropriate share on the NAS via NFS or CIFS/SMB from within the LMS tab on the piCorePlayer. The only caveat is that you need the NAS to be fully up and operational before you boot or reboot the Pi otherwise it won't see the share.[/QUOTE wrote: > > > Following much good advice from this forum this is my progress to date: > > * Purchased Pi3 and Ultra 32GB SanDisk > * Downloaded and installed piCorePlayer3.21.

Hi Will, and thank you for your helpful advice and comments. I have made a start and my progress is detailed below: I have downloaded piCorePlayer, copied it to SD and used it to boot my pi (early version). I have a video monitor on the pi indicating that the start-up seemed to complete successfully. The last line states "Finished piCorePlayer setup". The pi IP address is 192.168.0.18 but, when examined with my browser, I find that the LMS is not running. Why is this and how do I configure the pi for LMS duties? My intention is to upgrade to a pi3 when I have proved the system works. I much appreciate your advice!

Thank you Wills and d6jg for your excellent advice - which I intend to follow! I have been a Squeezebox enthusiast for many years and did go through a phase with RPi (when it was first released) as an LMS server. Later I bought a second-hand QNAP TS-220 and discovered that it came with LMS 7.7.2 installed. I therefore discarded the RPi and have been using the QNAP as music store and LMS ever since. Everything has been working fine until I received the dreaded message from Spotify telling me that they are removing Squeezebox support. Please can you recommend any web resources which would help me to configure my new RPi system. (Will my original RPi be ok or do I have to buy a new RPi3?)

PasTim wrote: With the recent changes to the BBC Internet Radio streams, two sets of solutions for LMS users have been developed by the amazing people here on the LMS forum. Note that users of the BBC Radio applet (not using LMS) on Logitech Radios and Touch devices should instead look at http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?103293-Fix-to-BBC-Radio-Applet-Listen-Againp=810788viewfull=1#post810788 The first uses a new plugin called 'PlayHLS' and some related fixes. This set of solutions is described in the thread starting at http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?103312-BBCiPlayer-plugin-a-guick-fix-guidep=811346viewfull=1#post811346. A second set of solutions has been developed by Triode and bpa, requiring two updated plugins (including one updated on 31st March 2015), coming from two new 'repositories'. Note that the PlayHLS plugin is NOT required. This set of solutions provides one method of playing Live streams, and two separate ways of listening to 'On Demand' (Listen Again) streams. I find the two different techniques for searching for previous programmes both have their uses, so I use both. There are also some differences in the quality provided for Radio 3 On Demand. I hope to keep this first post up to date with corrections and improvements where possible, and would prefer that the thread doesn't grow too much, otherwise it becomes almost impossible for people to follow. *-I therefore ask that if you have any corrections or suggestions (polite or otherwise), please pm me in the first instance and I'll try to edit this post.-* I have assumed use of the 'Default' interface on the LMS GUI. 1) INSTALL UPDATED 'ALPHA' VERSION OF TRIODE'S BBC IPLAYER PLUGIN - VERSION V1.3.1ALPHA3 (LATEST ON 31ST MARCH 2015 INCORPORATING MANY IMPROVEMENTS OVER ALPHA2) - Go to the Settings, Plugins page on the LMS GUI. - Go to 'Additional Repositories' near the bottom. If this is not available, there should be an option to enable third party plugins. Tick this, and press 'Apply' at bottom right. - Add the following line to the list of additional repositories: Code: http://triodeplugins.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/testrepo.xml - Press 'Apply' at bottom right. - Restart LMS. - You should now find that either the new BBCiPlayer plugin is now already available and installed, or there is a box you can tick near the bottom of the plugins list (under Triode's Squeezecenter Plugins (Test Versions)) to make it available on the next LMS restart. If the latter, tick it and restart LMS. 2) INSTALL UPDATED VERSION OF BPA'S BBC IPLAYER EXTRAS PLUGIN - VERSION V1.8 Repeat the instructions in step 1 except use the repository below, and ensure that the BBC iPlayer Extras plugin version 1.8 is selected and installed. Code: http://bpaplugins.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/repo-short.xml The plugin will either be installed straight away after a restart, or you need to tick it against bpa's Squeezecenter Plugins Short. This method of listening to On Demand streams usually provides a better quality stream for Radio 3. 3) IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS THERE ARE A FEW OPTIONS TO CHECK: a) Go to Settings, Advanced, BBC iPlayer. Unless you have a good reason not to, the 1st two options should read HLS MP3 FlashAAC FlashMP3 b) Go to Settings, Advanced, File Types. Under AAC you should have Code: AAC Native FLAC faad/flac MP3 faad/lame (assuming you have already installed lame for MP3s) PCM faad Some have found that there can be a pitch change if your system is set up in a way that it uses AAC to PCM, so you could try disabling PCM in this list if that happens to you. c) For *Windows Users Only* - you may find some programmes don't play. A patched version of faad.exe is available and attached here - 17798. Find your old copy, take a backup, and, entirely at your own risk, copy this one, making sure the access rights for the program are the same as the old one. It is hoped this will become part of the standard LMS release at some point. In the mean time, *if you update LMS you may well lose this fix and have to re-apply it*. So I suggest you either stop updating LMS for now, or write a small batch file to run to update faad.exe each time you update LMS. d) On *ubuntu 13.04 and newer, and possibly other linux distros*, running LMS prior to 7.9, you may find that streams do not play on older SB devices such as SliMP3, SB1, SB2, SB3, Transporter, Boom, Classic and Duet, and some software devices such as squeezeslave and Softsqueeze. This may be due to problems with the faad and flac transcoders being unable to run to convert aac to flac. This problem does not occur using devices such as the LMS Touch or squeezelite since they can

Owen Smith wrote: Listen Again still seems to be working, even for things broadcast just a couple of hours ago. Radio 3 in 320kbps AAC and Radio 2 in 128kbps AAC. Given the huge fuss about this I assumed Listen Again was broken also. If I want to listen live I have the options of FM, DAB and Freeview all using equipment I already own. Does anyone here really not own receivers for any of those? It's Listen Again that really matters (to me anyway), because unless you had the foresight to record something in advance there is no other way to listen to it. Now I would like listening live to work again. But I really don't see it as quite so desperately must be fixed by tomorrow levels of urgency others here and on the BBC blog have been stating. I entirely agree with you, it is 'Listen Again' which really matters to me and, as I write, it is still working! Let's hope it continues to work!!! Live BBC Radio channels can still be received by using 'Search' at the Squeezebox top level menu and then saving to Favourites. mphearn's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1764 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53229 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

One thing that comes through to me in all this is that having LMS at the core of the Squeezebox concept, with it's capability to process pretty much whatever is thrown at it, was an amazingly forward-looking idea on the part of the Slimdevices guys.
