Is there a good reason why you're still running version 7.7.5? That's a very old version now. Update your system to LMS 7.7.9 and you'll see some significant performance increases, as well as many usability enhancements and quite a few bug fixes. It's possible to keep your hard drive spinning just by scheduling a little batch file that writes a file to the drive, waits a couple seconds, then deletes it. I'm not sure that simply doing a directory listing on the drive will keep it alive, since directory listings are cached by the operating system.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Automatically update LMS?
Hmmm
its a simple single line - but honestly its not a good idea.
- i would disable the automatic check for software updates (dont check
for updates)
- enable the automatic download updates when their avialable
- and when i want to update lms press the check for updates now
- put some chars into a shell thats started in the night via crontab
script like
Code:
find /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache/updates/*.deb -exec dpkg -i {} \;
-exec rm {} \;
but i dont think to automate whe whole update procedure is the way to
go.
Pure debian guys always want to have their owwn finger on the trigger
otherwise they would run some other warez from redmond.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Automatically update LMS?
I'm running LMS 7.9.0 on Debian 8.5 64 bit. I have the Settings -> Advanced -> Software Updates -> Automatically Download Updates When They're Available option set, and indeed LMS downloads new versions when they become available, then shows me a nag message about "update available." As far as I can tell, there is no way in the web UI to actually apply this update, although I did find on clicking through several links on the Software Updates page where it tells me the dpkg command line to execute to apply the update. Is there any way I can automatically apply these updates when they get downloaded? I searched the forum and found a post that I thought made reference to settings in the server.prefs file, but the only relevant setting there is *autoDownloadUpdate: 1*, which I assume is exactly what I specified on the web UI. Does anyone have a script which applies the latest update I could run as a cron job, for example? It isn't a great burden to do the command line update every time I see the nag msg, and I know there's risk associated with doing an update. But, given I'll manually do the update every time I see the nag message anyway, I'm ok with the risk to save the hassle of the manual step. danjb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36434 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105804 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

The only "speed up reason" for a scripted search is when you delete the cache folder and all the stuff has to be calculated to show up. After the cache is filled - and you always use the same scripted search terms there is no further improvement. Running a scripted search als causes the disk with the db is used and wake up - on your setup the d is stored in the OS drive not in the external - so this isnt helping you eather. IMHO the speed up is only caused by using more ram for lms.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Keep-awake suggestions for LMS on Windows Server?
So far so good. Today's "first search of the day" returned results in less than 10 seconds, with no timeouts. Whether the improvement was due to the scripted searches running at regular intervals, or the change to the cache size setting, isn't clear. Many thanks for all your input - I now have a workable LMS setup again (I hope!) itm's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17437 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105787 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Genre menu customization ??
Hi there. I'm running LMS 7.9. I'd like to customize my "Genres" menu a little to make my live easier. Currently my setup shows "Genres/Genre/Artist/Albums - per Artist" Or if I select "All Albums" in the "Artist" list I get "../All Albums per Genre sorted by All Artists". What I would like to achieve now is following. I would like to skip the 2nd layer menu - the list of "Artist" and show "All Albums per Genre sorted by "Artist" right away. Currently in my setup this - showing all albums/genre sorted by artist in one list - can only be achieved by selecting the "All Albums" in the "Artist" list. That's pretty annoying since that "All Albums" entry appears at the bottom of the Artist list. Especially if you face hundreds of artists in that list it's no longer fun. Pretty much all Android remotes use the standard lists/menu structure as provided by LMS. This should be aligned accordingly or better, should continue to work. The only app I know that adjusts menus is iPeng. iPeng btw puts that "All Album" menu item under "Genres/Genre/Artists on top of that list for easier access! Adjusting the Artist list instead of skipping it would then be my 2nd best modification choice. If I can't throw out that Artist list under Genres, I'd at least would like to put "All Albums" on top of the Artist list. I'm wondering how that could work. Any hints of how to accomplish this are appreciated. Thx a lot.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Squeezesvr owner changes from to
Thanks, I had been using my outlook account to log on to the Windows PC which seems to have been the problem. All works ok when I created a new local user on the PC and used those details to log in the Squeezebox control. I would be interested to see if there is a solution for log on using Outlook account but its not a major problem. tks M mimnagh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=65167 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105733 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
