Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS on MacOS 10.15 "Catalina"?

2019-10-28 Thread pettefar

After a few initial glitches mine is BAU, no problems running under
Catalina.

I deleted lots of applications that would no longer run under Catalina
but I wasn’t actually using them, apart from occasionally using MS Word,
which I don’t really miss.

I gave perl full disk access but it still doesn't find anything on my
USB drive.  And my players have disappeared too - Help!?

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Logitech Media Server 7.9.1 is out!

2019-07-18 Thread pettefar


I keep getting prompted to upgrade my 7.9.2 LMS.

But every time I do it it doesn't complete, complaining: "Please quit
System Preferences before running the installer."

Even though it closes the System Preferences window and even if I
manually exit System Preferences.
