All squeezebox devices (touch, radio, boom) need a server to provide content. This can be mysqueezebox.com or running LMS on a computer. What some are suggesting is to run LMS (using picoreplayer) on a raspberry pi instead of running LMS on windows 10. The advantage of this is the pi is small and runs all the time and is very stable. A lot of work is done by people on this forum to maintain picoreplayer and LMS. In reading the suggestions. I offer the following: 1. In windows 10, Go to add or remove programs and uninstall LMS. 2. Reboot. 3 download LMS 8.2 for windows 10 at https://mysqueezebox.com/download 4. Install LMS as administrator 5. Reboot The problem with not finding LMS in the icon tray might be a windows 10 problem, not a LMS problem. I have had this happen occasionally and usually a reboot is the solution. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ P Nelson's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58158 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115832 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
