hello Jim
thanks for ur great evaluation. I guess u are right with ur points. 
I have checked to run it with battery and sound coming from the
headphone jack. So there's nothing wrong with the out-put sound from
there. I guess its related to old battery voltage. I'll grab a new
battery pack and see if the speaker comes to live again.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Squeezebox Radio would not connect to LMS 8: "Update required"

2021-12-02 Thread MrSums


Hi, 

I have LMS 7.9.3 running on RaspPi via Max2Play. Trying to formally
patch my radios for the version bug, but having installed 7.9.3 and
installed the Patch manager app, when I go to the Patch manager, it
responds with "No patches found". 

Have I missed a setting somewhere?

Thanks

Robert

However, I haven't seen any updates on this recently.

There's been a lot of discussions around this issue in the 'Community
