Re: [slim] Plans if Logitech pulls the plug ?

Can I ask a naive question. For someone like me who just uses my squeezeboxes and LMS to stream music from a local server, isn't this setup impervious so long as I have the hardware and LMS software plus relevant plugins such as Airplay to feed my Liberatone Zipp. I understand as technology and s

Re: [slim] LMS and PLEX: no internet but wifi

Thanks for the reply. I wouldn't say my question was pure PLEX as, to me, familiar is I am with LMS, I can't see why it needs an internet connection to stream locally. And there is no forum for PLEX like there is for LMS, to garner reliable info; especially not one constituted by a knowledgeable

[slim] LMS and PLEX: no internet but wifi

This is really more PLEX question than an LMS one. I have both running on my local network. Often my internet goes down but LMS still streams nicely to my Squeezeboxes throughout the house. This is as expected as my music is stored locally. But the same doesn't happen with PLEX even though I hav

Re: [slim] Portable Airplay Speaker

I've got the Zipp 2 and it works fine with the airplay plugin too. It has one problem, pointed out in another thread, that when it connects to my wifi network the first time it comes on with max volume. I have to standby to adjust immediately so as not to bug who ever is in earshot (kid, neighbou

Re: [slim] UE Megablast 3

Thanks Michael. Oh well, I'll either wait (in vaiin?) for logitech to implement airplay2 or UpnP on the the Blast range or go for another decent battery powered airplay speaker. At this stage other than the expensive and not waterproof Zipp range there aren't many options, but I'm patient and not

Re: [slim] UE Megablast 3

Just a quick question following on my previous post. Can I play LMS on UE Blast/Megablast from my phone via the SB Player app via wifi? Currently I play LMS on on my UE Boom in this way via Bluetooth, but if don't much like Bluetooth so would love to switch to wifi. I know it doesn't have airpla

Re: [slim] UE Megablast 3

All very interesting, but isn't there a good chance that Logitech/UE will, in due course, simply enable AirPlay or UPnP-AV for ther Blast range of speakers. I'm hoping this is on their agenda. chopinhauer's Profile: http:/

Re: [slim] Keep running LMS and PLEX from PC or change to RPi and/or NAS

Thanks for all the replies and suggestions. I really appreciate it. Anyway, I now have a good idea of the options and I can weight them up. I can't re-purpose my current (soon to be old) computer as it's too big for the cupboard option and I don't feel like downsizing it to fit. I have an RPi s

Re: [slim] Keep running LMS and PLEX from PC or change to RPi and/or NAS

Bump Come on. Please just quick advice form someone who's been there before (which I assume was many of you). It was the default position back in the early days of squeezebox (pre-2010). I'm still in default mode, but am wondering if I should/must move on in order to do what LMS (and now Plex) a

[slim] Keep running LMS and PLEX from PC or change to RPi and/or NAS

I’m a long time user of LMS (10 years) and have always just kept my files on my Windows 7 PC and streamed the music from there to my various Squeezeboxes. I have a decent mesh Wi-Fi set up so I can steam easily throughout my apartment. In addition, I’ve recently started to stream my visual media f

Re: [slim] Commercial players that work off LMS?

Thanks. Good to know there are other options than trying to hunt down another SB Boom secondhand. What do people think is better general term, including future proofing, between going the wireless speaker plus Chomecast with plugin (say of JBL Playlist) and a used Boom. Both are about the same pr

Re: [slim] Commercial players that work off LMS?

Forgive the clueness nature of my question but am I right to suppose that I can just get one of these wireless speakers, like a Google Home Max, somehow configure it to work with LMS that is on my desktop, and operate it with my android phone running Squeeze Ctrl? In other words, it will be just

[slim] How to organise Poweramp like Squeezebox

I'm a long time SB user. I organise my 76,000 odd tracks on my computer the following way: Music folder; 15 subfolders with different generes of classical music; thousands of sub-sub-folders with individual albums, many of which involve mutliple cds (so sub-sub-sub folders for each cd). This stru

Thanks. I thought so, but it is good to get confirmation. Time is short and I didn't want to muck around trying to do something that wouldn't work a priori. chopinhauer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?us

[slim] Streaming music to SB without internet connection

Sorry for this basic question, but I have just moved and the internet is taking an interminable amount of time to connect. While I am waiting I'm wondering if I can set up my wifi modem/router in the house and just stream music to my SB duet in the normal way? Or do I need an internet connection
