That's what was stopping the connection. I had previously tryed just temporarily disableing AVAST, but that didn't help. Uninstalling it did!

[SlimDevices: Touch] LMS can't find player
I'm running LMS on a Windows 7 computer. It consistantly says it can't find a player. My player is a SBT, connected wirelessly (wireless signal 78%). I've told it my Library Name, and given it the IP address for the library. When I choose My Music, it shows Connecting to ip number. After a bit, it says Problem Connecting. I don't know what else to do! Dave S.

My understanding of that article is that it uses a 100 song playlist to achieve a random mix, and the server manages the list by adding and dropping songs. It seems to be describing an earlier version of randomizing, because it talks about finding the function under plugins. My menu doesn't have it under plugins. Dave S.

I'd like to do that, but I just can't see a way to get ethernet cable from my computer to the Touch. The Touch is on my stereo cabinet which is located against an outside wall. Going through the basement doesn't provide an easy way to come back up that wall. Dave S.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Logitech Media Server dies
OK, four days since I put in a powered hub, and it worked fine until today. "Locan Music Server Stopped". Same as before. Now I restart Logitech Media Server on the Touch and I'll be good for another random length of time. Is this the best I can expect, or is there something else I should do? Dave S.

Sure, but what's the favoured way of connecting computer to Touch? It's too difficult to get an ethernet cable connection to the location of my music system. Wi-fi was unreliable, worked sometimes, but often broke. Powerline adapter worked longer, but more recently I experienced IP issues. I will now try connecting the hard drive through a powered hub.

I'm not aware of a way to get Media server log files. I'm (now) aware that if I use the term Logitech Media Server, that people think it's running on a computer, rather than the Touch. I will now try the powered hub idea. In the past, I did have my music database on the computer, but had trouble with 1) the wi-fi connection between computer and Touch and 2) a powerline adapter connecting these devices was also not stable.

[SlimDevices: Touch] Logitech Media Server dies
I use my Touch with a USB hard drive plugged in and my entire music collection is on this drive. When I restart Logitech Media Server and set it to play random songs, it will do that for a few hours, sometimes a few days. Then I'll get silence. First thing I try is to skip to the next song >> Sometimes that works. What causes it to stop at the end of a song? Second problem: LMS stops, and then I tell it to restart, it takes some time to do this, and then allows me to play again. Why does it keep stopping? Is there a limit on the number of songs I can have on the hard drive? I have about 7,500. Dave S.
