I appreciate the offer Paul, but I don't want to impose or complicate things on your side or mine. I'll probably end up going the pi route, after all, who doesn't want to build another pi system? :) I can also search around a bit, but I realize I am pandering to an old, limited system (TinyLMS). There is so much that $50 for a pi server running the latest LMS can offer my friend. In fact it should make long distance tech support much easier for me!

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Tiny LMS - adding Favorites
I have a web site hosted on a large well known hosting provider ... they offer one free https certificate as part of the hosting deal but can also run a web site from it with regular http. I have no problem hosting the .opml for the 2 people here but updating the contents becomes a bit more complicated. I suppose I could put a small PHP script in place allows a opml file to be uploaded and make it require a password that is only available to the editor.

Even if it isnt good new for tinyLMS, it's good to know what works and what doesn't. I just asked about commercial options for http host as I know that dropbox isn't the only game in town (just the only one I use). Just wondering if someone knew of one. I suspect your are right, probably time to build a pi system for him. Even with that though, your solution is terrific for sharing/maintaining favorites, which I'll use moving forward.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Tiny LMS - adding Favorites
Interesting series of posts since I last checked in. So it seems like Tiny LMS won't redirect using https like newer full versions of LMS. Gary, yes, a pCP/Rpi is a good fallback (that I have been avoiding), and I may get one and set it up for him eventually. Even if I do, the method you outlined is a great way for me to share favorites, repair broken links, or even replace links with higher quality streams if the come available. I can handle the "technical" part of keeping his streams alive, adding new. Wi a RPI, he could also listen to the Radio Paradise FLAC stream instead of the 320k. There are allot of benefits. In the mean time, Paul, others, I am not really up on services that may allow hosting via http. I have sort of turned my back/avoided cloud storage, kind of old school in that regard. Is that something that might be available? Are their any that you know of? Or, should I just avoid due to the less secure nature of http? Maybe it's a big fight for a small win Drop box is the only thing like this that I use, mostly for sharing with friends.

I suppose the backup is that his friend use the Touch connected to mysqueezebox.com (and then probably works from there), and if he wants to change to his own music, he switches back to tinyLMS. Maybe there is a way to have only a few menu items that allow this easily. Or do what I did for my brotherI set up an rPi 3B+ to run an LMS server, with his music attached to rPi via a portable USB drive. And he just runs that 24/7 connected to his router.

Hi Gary; Works great so far on my system - loaded my favorites.opml on dropbox, chose share->share a link instead, create link, copy link. Then went to mysb.com - favorites. For some reason I couldn't add a new favorite, so I just took an existing unused one, renamed it "JB's Favorites", pasted the link, changed the '0' to '1' as you instructed. On my LMS, went to favorites, on mysb.com, JB's favorites, and viola, there was my structured favorites. My next step is to hope that tiny LMS has "on mysb.com" under favorites, and give my friend a call and walk him through it. I'll report back to close that loop. This is really cool. I have LMS at two locations and have been using a USB portable HDD carried back and forth to mirror my music and favorites. I also have other family and friends that I have setup and gotten them started with my favorites (I only favorite radio stations). Now, I can set both of my locations and the others this way, so when I have to fix a broken link, or when I favorite a new station, I can just update the favorites on dropbox for all to access! What is also really nice is they can build their own favorites, structured or not, seperate from mine, and they can always go back to mine via mysb.com. Brilliant.

The idea of fool proofing it by deleting all other favorites, eliminates confusion. Plus, when going back to my music it always suggest connecting to your library, so going back and forth will be predictable for him. I wonder (and will find out) if you have to be logged into dropbox for this to work? Thank you, I'll report back.

And now that I think about it, this could actually solve the problem of switching back and forth from tinyLMS to mysb.com. I'm not sure about tinyLMS, but in regular LMS, assuming you have your mysb.com credentials entered in LMS, when you look at favorites in LMS, the last item listed is "On mysqueezebox.com". So assuming tinyLMS is the same, you could simply remove all the other favorites, and your friend would be left with only one favorite"On mysqueezebox.com" and he'd click on this and then on the favorite that was saved earlier (my "Gary's LMS Favorites") and everything would be there in subfolders. And could be updated from the internet by anyone with access to the dropbox account where favorites.opml stored and the mysb.com account. *Home:* VBA2.5 4TB -or- rPi4B/pCP6.1/4TB>LMS 7.9.3>Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio (all ethernet) *Cottage:* rPi4B/pCP6.1/4TB>LMS 7.9.3>Touch>Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (ethernet except Radio WIFI) *Office:* Win10(64)>foobar2000 *The Wild: *rPi3B+/pCP4.0, hifiberry Dac+Pro, 4TB USB (LMS & Squeezelite) *Controllers:* iPhone11 & iPadAir3 (iPeng), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.8 on Win10(64) *Files:* -Ripping-: dbpoweramp > FLAC; -Post-rip-: mp3tag, PerfectTunes; -Streaming:- Spotify garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113046 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

That looks like a great solution since it would allow Redrum to manage the list by changing the contents of the internet copy.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Tiny LMS - adding Favorites
This doesn't help with having to switch back and forth to mysb.com, but regarding favorites in folders, here's what I do. I take my favorites.opml file from my currently running LMS (that is setup with subfolder organization), and I save that on my dropbox account. Then I copy the URL link of that dropbox file (favorites.opml) and make that a favorite in mysqueezebox.com. After you paste in the link there, the end of the link may look like: "favorites.opml?dl=0" (without the quotes). if it is "dl=0" change it to "1", that is, "dl=1" instead. Give this a name in the mysb.com favorites (mine is Gary's LMS Favorites), and now when you are on mysb.com, you'll see this favorite. Clicking on it will show you the entire subfolder structure. *Home:* VBA2.5 4TB -or- rPi4B/pCP6.1/4TB>LMS 7.9.3>Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio (all ethernet) *Cottage:* rPi4B/pCP6.1/4TB>LMS 7.9.3>Touch>Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (ethernet except Radio WIFI) *Office:* Win10(64)>foobar2000 *The Wild: *rPi3B+/pCP4.0, hifiberry Dac+Pro, 4TB USB (LMS & Squeezelite) *Controllers:* iPhone11 & iPadAir3 (iPeng), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.8 on Win10(64) *Files:* -Ripping-: dbpoweramp > FLAC; -Post-rip-: mp3tag, PerfectTunes; -Streaming:- Spotify garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113046 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
