Heh, I was lloking on the plug-in page for 'screenswitcher' and couldn't
find and then made the wrong assumption that it was 'saverswitcher'
(which I don't currently use).
Where is screenswitcher?

I may be wrong, but I think the disk has to be formatted as ext4 in

I bought this book years ago to see if there was any mention of what
"seed" apple used to initiate the 'random' sequence, and what other
factors may have been included in the equation used to simulate
randomness.  It's still a secret! :)

Thanks very much for that.  I am not familiar with base.js, though, and
would appreciate some simple instructions.  Is there a way to modify on

COntributor role field with just artist,albumartist (and then

Can I remove 'Composer' from the list of Contributor Roles (Artist,
Album Artist, Composer, Conductor, Track Artist)?

The reason why I ask is because when I select 'Two Separate Lists for
artist and album artist' from settings>My Music>Browse Artists LMS
includes whatever is tagged in the Composer field, making the list too
unwieldy to scroll through.

Thanks very much, that corrected it!  It was pointing to the Playlists
directory, but there was a problem with one playlist as it contained
pointers to non-existent files.  I am not sure if that was considered
corruption, but removing that file did remove the reference to that
directory.

I am not sure what or if I did anything for Database Query to stop

attempt to run it, the input panel does not display.  The server log
recorded this:

Thanks!
I had upgraded to v 8.0 and it was there after the upgrade.  (until I
removed it!)   I've searched through Erland's posts here, and since they
are mostly pretty old the links are dead.  I'll reach out to him.  Or
just reinstall LMS!

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] How can I re-install missing Plug-In (Database Query) ?

2020-11-24 Thread stereoptic


Hi -
I inadvertently removed the Database Query from the Plug-ins page.  I
must have unchecked it, and then hit apply.  Now it is gone. :(
Is there a process to restore it?  It is not listed in Inactive
PlugIns.
Thanks in advance

Right now, I am using 7.91.  I'll update to 8.0 and see if there is a
difference.

The Aretha Franklin album is a 4 CD box set.  Many tracks, and many
different composers.  There are other similar examples where there are
not as many composers and 2 or tracks will list on the bottom.

supply the link.  Can I modify the display on the web interface at the

is no room to view the tracks or even scroll down.

I've used this command to make a global change to all playlists in my

perl -i -pe

It might be a little trickier for your playlists as you a variety of
backslashes and forward slashes.

Hi Michael - I am having a very similar issue with an older Mac Mini. 
LMS 7.91 had been running perfectly since I first ran as soon as the
stable 7.91 was released, but yesterday for some strange reason it
stopped playing a .dsf file (on picoreplayer) and then would not play
any .dsf files at all (FLACS and ALACS are fine). 
Trying to troubleshoot, I decided just to reload LMS. :shrug:
I downloaded the .pkg from here:
http://downloads.slimdevices.com/LogitechMediaServer_v7.9.1/

and installed it.  After that LMS would not start.  In the preference
pane It would indicate 'starting.' but then would change to 'server has
started'.
I found the thread with your hint that had the 4(?) line commands to
mkdir and then chown, but that didn't work either.  
I would like to try the little script that you created, but it is no
longer available.  I can supply more information here, I know it is a
bit sketchy.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

On my MacMini, "stop Server' in the preferences app does not work.  I
have to go into the Activity Monitor and stop the perl process.  Than I
can go into preferences, click on LMS and start the server.

In LMS, does "Settings>Basic Settings>Playlist Directory" reside in the
same location that iTunes is writing to?  You could be updating the
playlists in iTunes, but if LMS is looking in the wrong place, perhaps
an older location, it won't see your updates.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Library Problem

2017-12-19 Thread stereoptic

I use dbpoweramp for tagging, and Tag & Rename as well.  Tag & Rename is
very powerful, it lets you rename the file based upon track tags and
vice versa.  Also has a good text substitute feature which I have found
to be very helpful.
I have run into the same issue that you have where an artist listing
appears in an alphabetical location.  It usually is due to the an error
in one of the sorting artist fields in a compilation CD, or not checking
off the 'compilation' tag.  I use 'Various Artists' for the album artist
name in compilations, although I know that many prefer to leave it
blank.

I no longer leave those 2 ports open to the internet through the router.
But when I did, I had also selected "Block Incoming Connections" and
had my internal IP in the approved IP addresses field.  

I unchecked the block incoming connections and now I can connect to the
LMS server through VPN.   I am assuming that there shouldn't be a
security issue under these conditions?

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] VPN Question - Connecting to LMS - Netgear Nighthawk Router

2017-10-03 Thread stereoptic

Previously I was able to connect to my LMS through VPN on my android
phone while I was on 3G, 4G, or another wireless network.  I was using a
Raspberry pi and "Open VPN for Android" on my Samsung Galaxy.  Click on
Orange Squeeze, select my server (192.168.n.nnn) and I was set to go.

I recently upgrade my router to a Netgear Nighthawk r7000.  I set up VPN
on there using my dyndns account.  I am able to connect to the files on
my LMS server (using file management tools like File Expert) and also
'puTTY' in (using Connectbot), but when I try to access the LMS server
page (192.168.n.nnn:9000) on the internet, or through any apps such as
Orange Squeeze, I get a "Connection error, unexpected end of stream on
connection).

I do not have any ports forwarded on the router.

I understand that there are difference in the Raspberry pi VPN software
and the Nighthawk software.  I am not sure why the Rpi VPN would connect
to LMS and the router VPN won't.  

Any assistance would be appreciated - Do I have to make some changes on
the router side or the dyndns side, or both?

thanks in advance

I've removed my forwarding quite some time ago and just use VPN if I
need to access LMS.

Although I don't intend to do so, how safe is it to limit the port
forwarding and use the option "Block Incoming Connections" and set a
specific IP Address in the "Allowed IP Addresses" field? 
Can someone spoof the IP address and then gain access?

2017-03-14 Thread stereoptic

Thanks Michael for keeping LMS alive and breathing!
I loaded Logitech Media Server version 7.9 this morning on my Mac Mini. 
It successfully loaded and when completed, the system preferences dialog
box opened.  Rescanning didn't automatically start (I waited about a
minute), so I just went to the Web GUI and started a complete rescan
from there.  No issues so far, everything appears to be working.

I had a similar experience using the icon that was installed on the
desktop.  If I went into Programs>LMS> and right clicked as
administrator it worked.  I deleted the desktop icon and installed a new
one from "programs".  I am not sure why that worked, but I never
experimented to see why.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] All Squeezeboxes wakes up family at 00:23 at full volume!

2016-10-21 Thread stereoptic

I am now using a VPN server to access my Squeezebox environment
remotely.

I have a question regarding the user name and password in situations
where the ports are left open (and a VPN connection is _not_ used
remotely).

For the incidents related in this thread, where the ports were left
open, was the unauthorized entry made through brute force attacks by
guessing/calculating both the user name and password?  Would hacking it
require a rainbow table, or is it much easier than that? 
Or was the username and password captured by some other means?  When
connecting remotely (when the ports are open), can the username and
password be grabbed by a hacker - is this information not encrypted at
this point?

Even though I am now using VPN, both my username and password and
password are at least 12 mixed characters and my LMS username is
completely unique, it is not anything I use for websites, network
access, etc.

Ouch!  Too much work. There are other items wrong with the preference
pane, at least in my installation. Library tab doesn't show any entries,
but using the web and settings reveals that they are there.  I
occasionally can't use the 'stop server' option 0 the server stays
running, I have to stop perl first.  But don't sweat it, I don't use the
preference pane that often, only just to rescan, but I can just as
easily use the settings.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Unable to view LMS Information Tab in OSX Preferences

2016-09-18 Thread stereoptic

Hi - I'm not sure how long this has been happening (looks like I asked a
similar question here a while ago and the condition cleared up) bu when
I access system preferences (OSX El Capitan on Macmini) and click on LMS
and then the Information tab, I get a dialog box requesting 

"to view this page, you must log in to this area on localhost:9000" 

When I use my LMS password, it is rejected.  (the password works when I
login from my laptop to 192.168.1.156:9000, and then settings and then
information tab.)  When I enter the URL "http://localhost:9000"; on the
mac mini, it opens LMS fine.

I have deleted my preferencepane, even reloaded LMS (7.9).
When I try to stop LMS from the preference pane, I never get the message
"the server is stopped".  when I click on stop server, the message "the
server is running" remains.  I have to go into system monitor to stop
perl.  

Any suggestions?

Thanks for that.
My Linksys Router has VPN passthrough and I already have a dyndns
account.
So am I good to go?  Do I need to unblock incoming connections?

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] VPN - "how to" help, please

2016-07-20 Thread stereoptic

Is there a simple step by step documentation on how to connect to the
LMS through VPN?

Currently, I have the two required ports (9000 and 3483 ) port forwarded
through my router.  I have a user ID and password and also blocked
incoming connections with the exception of 127.0.0.1,192.168.1.*, and
the router address of a relative’s house so that I can connect to my LMS
server at home using a Raspberry Pi.

I understand that this is not the most secure method.  I would like to
be able to set up VPN on my server (a Mac Mini running El Capitan).  I
just paid $20 for OSX server and have set up a VPN network connection.
I have orange squeeze and squeeze player installed n my cell phone and
connect to my network while I am home on wifi, but my confusion now is
how do I set up those 2 ports securely so that I can connect to LMS
though my cell phone from a remote location outside my WAN and LAN?  
Please be gentle with me.  :)

Thanks for the reply.  The second router is not really connected in
series, it is on 192.168._0_.1 while the router on the router/modem
combo is 192.168._1_.1 .
I understand the risks of LMS not being secure.  It is password
protected with the understanding that the encryption is not very
effective.  If there was one drawback to the LMS ecosystem, it is
security for remote connections.  I know that there are other methods,
but I haven't had the time (or courage) to try them out.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Accessing Remotely - Port Forwarding Dilemma

2016-04-26 Thread stereoptic

Hi all -
I have 2 Systems running Logitech Media Server.

The first one I have been using for years and I have been able to access
it remotely without any problems.  My internet signal comes into the
Optimum modem and out of the modem,  ethernet is connected to a Cisco
router with ports 9000 and 3483 forwarded. LMS is running on a Mac mini.
No issues, works fantastic.

I recently set up LMS at another location on a Dell Inspiron i3050.  The
internet signal comes into a Comcast combination modem/router (Modem is
10.0.0.1, router is 192.168.1.1) .  I don't use the Comcast router,
instead I have a D-Link connected to the modem. DLINK uses 192.168.0.1.
I port forwarded 9000 and 3483 on the Dlink.  PiCoreplayer Squeezelite
running on a Raspberry pi works fine.   However to connect to it
remotely, port forwarding on the DLink was not enough.  I had to log
into the Comcast modem (10.0.0.1) and also port forward 9000 and 3483 on
the _modem_ in order to connect remotely.  Does that make sense?  The
DLink has IP of 192.168.0.1, while the Comcast ROUTER is 192.168.1.1.  I
am not sure why I had to port forward on my modem?  Any explanations or
suggestions?   Much appreciated! :confused:
