[SlimDevices: Plugins] Dynamic Playlist plug-in - can't find it

2021-01-26 Thread dbinder101


I had to re-install LMS and Dynamic Playlist  was one of the plug-ins I
used often. Unfortunately, I don't see it anymore under the 3rd Party
Plug-ins list. Does someone know the URL for the Additional Repositories
form? Or how I can manually download and install it?

Which version of LMS have you installed?

On the plugins page, if you scroll right down to the bottom, do you see
a checkbox with a "*WARNING - These are 3rd Party Plugins not guaranteed
to work under the current version of Logitech Media Server. They've been
abandoned by their authors and are no longer maintained. Worst case they
could break your Logitech Media Server. Use at your own risk"* ?

If yes, that maybe where your plugin is hiding.



*Server - LMS 8.2.0 *Pi4B 4GB/Argon one case/pCP v7.0.0 - 74K library,
playlists & LMS cache on SSD (ntfs)
*Study -* Pi3B/pCP 7.0.0/pi screen/Hifiberry DAC HAT Ruark MR1 Mk2
*Lounge* - Pi2/pCP 6.0.0 > HiFiBerry DIGI+ > AudioEngine DAC1 > AVI DM5
*Garage* - Squeezebox Boom + Fostex sub
*Dining Room* - Pi3B/Bluetooth/Echo Show 8

I am using LMS version 8.0.1

There is a link at the bottom of plug-in page (not a checkbox) that
brings you to the very outdated LMS Repositories list. The xml for
Ehrland's repositories is no longer valid. :-(

OK, updated to 8.2 and was able to download Dynamic Playlist...that's
the good news (and thank you for pointing me in the right direction).
The bad news: as you mentioned about the risk, LMS crashed and I was not
able to recover, so I had to go back to version 8.0.

So, of course, my next question is: has anyone been successful in
running Dynamic Playlist/Dynamic Mix in version 8.2?

How did LMS "crash"? Any famous last words in server.log?

I should have looked at the log, but I didn't. I'll install 8.2 again
and make sure to look at it if it crashes again.

If it just hanged and didn’t crash it could be related to the refresh
operation in TrackStat if you have TrackStat installed. It has been
known to hang for a while in large libraries and the result is that it
looks like LMS never gets accessible after it has been started. The
refresh can be disabled in the TrackStat settings page, either
completely or partly by disabling musicbrainz support. Often it’s the
refresh part related to musicbrainz tags that cause longest hang.

I haven’t seen anyone else saying that Dynamic Playlist plugin cause LMS
to crash and I suspect you aren’t the first one to use it with 8.2 so
it’s probably something specific in your setup that’s causing the issue.
However, as Michael says, the server.log should tell us more.

Not sure what I did different, but I installed 8.2 again, downloaded the
plug-ins, went thru the settings, and, lo and behold, it's working
perfectly! 

Thanks to everyone for helping me out.
