[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS on rpi3 - on OSMC system after upgrade to Kodi 17.6 fails
Hello, I am struggling with trying to get LMS to work on Raspberry PI 3 after system update of OSMC to Kodi 17.6 and Debian Stretch. (i installed LMS on it some time ago basing on http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?105874-Tuto-Install-LMS-and-mount-NAS-in-OSMC ) Everything is basically broken. There are a lot of errors, Squeezeboxes cannot reach the server, nothing can be played, I can't connect to LMS with Orange Squeeze app, but web interface works (almost - but it does not see players). I updated LMS to the latest version but it did not help. Here is the changelog of the recent OSMC update: https://osmc.tv/2018/01/osmcs-december-update-is-here-with-debian-stretch-and-kodi-17-6/ The system was upgraded to Debian Stretch, also all installed packages as well. Which means Perl is probably also updated, which maybe have some influence? Code: osmc@pi:~$ perl -v This is perl 5, version 24, subversion 1 (v5.24.1) built for arm-linux-gnueabihf-thread-multi-64int (with 75 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail) Server.log excerpt: 24374 +---+ |Filename: server.log | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=24374| +---+ mh_'s Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=50754 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108555 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

And a complete rpi3 is about 30-40$ ? For reference youd expect a scan for new and changed to take a couple of minutes with fancy plugins not hours .

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Did iTunes 12.2 (latest) break the itunes plugin in LMS?
One question that springs to mind. What does the LMS iTunes plugin setting 'Extract iTunes Artwork' do? I'm aware that a LMS scan iTunes doesn't store the artwork it downloads in your files, but somewhere in iTunes' own database. And there's no API to extract those images easily. Andy therefore created some script at some point which would automate iTunes to return the image. But it's prone to errors, requires iTunes to be run, and hasn't been maintained for years. Don't use it. -- Michael ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Did iTunes 12.2 (latest) break the itunes plugin in LMS?
I changed the performance settings to ramp up the RAM on scanning (only setting I changed: Scanner Priority up to -20). I'm guessing turning off pre-caching of artwork will mean my Squeezebox players take longer to display each tracks art when they play, so I left this turned on - is my assumption correct? Performance settings: I still believe that the biggest improvement you'd see would be by adding memory (or running LMS on a different machine). There's no hard number, but I remember that in my testing the memory options I thought that the critical number where the "maximum memory" option would really kick in was around 30-40k tracks. You are dealing with almost this number, but with only 256MB of RAM. I bet your system is spending a lot of time waiting for the disk to read data which would be buffered in memory if you had more of it... cranking up the memory option likely won't help at all, as the system will page more memory to disk if LMS was requesting more RAM. -- Michael ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Webapp for LMS ?
When you use the built in Windows web browser, you need to control which version of IE it emulates by creating a registry setting for your app. Otherwise, it will default to a very old emulation (IE 7). So you would need to create a registry entry for your app at : Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION 24373 Create an entry [yourapp.exe] REG_DWORD 0x2711. Then it will run using IE11 emulation. That should solve your problem. Googling FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION will give you more detail.

Oke gone try and follow these instruktion, to try and get it included in the officieel release of V1.03. But do not promise anything, as i'm almost on releasing the V1.03 version. Just waiting for a bit off input, and cleanup. But if i can make it, need some one to test it, can i ask you for this. ? scala wrote: > Hi, I'm replying to your post #32.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Did iTunes 12.2 (latest) break the itunes plugin in LMS?
Thanks for the reply Michael. I'm not keen on changing my NAS drive (due to cost) or changing the setup (lack of time to work it all out), however, it looks like some of your suggested changes have improved things with iTunes 12.3.0. In LMS, I disabled all but the plugins I actually use (below image shows only the active ones): 24367 I changed the performance settings to ramp up the RAM on scanning (only setting I changed: Scanner Priority up to -20). I'm guessing turning off pre-caching of artwork will mean my Squeezebox players take longer to display each tracks art when they play, so I left this turned on - is my assumption correct? Performance settings: 24368 For completeness, here's my iTunes plugin settings: 24369 Last night, I repeated the LMS 'Clear and rescan'. This previous took 7.5 hours, but I seem to have saved 1 hour (building the full text index) following some (or all) of the above changes: 24370 This morning, I started a simple scan to look for 'New and changed media files' (this usually takes around 4 hours - although there are no actual changed files) - this took just under 3 hours, so another time save (although I don't know which part of the proces this was saved in, as didn't screen grab any previous scans of this type): 24371 So this is all fairly positive with iTunes 12.3.0, the library and LMS on my Synology DS-213air, and an iPod Touch 128GB on the way - I should be able to get the various gadgets, software and playlists to all sync from the iTunes library. However, I welcome tips on how to further optimise the setup and speed up the LMS scans - any you have will be gratefully received. I have a few other bits of background software running on the Synology NAS which I rarely use (Videostation, Audiostation, etc.), so assume that permanently stopping these would also help the scan speed - I'll investigate in future weeks. One question that springs to mind. What does the LMS iTunes plugin setting 'Extract iTunes Artwork' do? I'm aware that a LMS scan optimises image dimensions for Squeezebox players, so where does this plugin setting fit in? Is there any benefit to turning it on? Although my library is in iTunes (which doesn't technically embed images in the audio files), I've used Bliss to embed everything, so am assuming there's no need to turn the iTunes plugin 'Extract iTunes Artwork' function on? Am I correct in this thinking? Thansk again for all the advice.

Just adding that I too had the same problem with Avast Business Security which cancelled the download of LogitechMediaServer-7.9.1-1513951369 stating it contained malware. However the latest version 7.9.1-1515216179 downloaded and installed without issue. Windows version in both cases.
