Hi guys.
I have major problems understanding the dependeny of my local LMS on the
mysqueezebox.com cloud.
My intentions were to install a local LogitechMediaServer without
connecting and registering to mysqueezebox.com in the server settings.
(Although I do have a Logitech account).
I wanted to be totally independent from mysqzueezebox.com. 

Unfortunately, after a couple of days running the server that way, it
seems that the TuneIn plugin simply gets disabled, in some way. The
Internet radio station list gets cleared and stays completely empty.
Also, I don`t have a podcast reader app under myApps or Extras, even
though I installed it in the plugin menu.
Only after connecting the LMS to the mysqueezebox system, do the TuneIn
stations reappear and the podcast app becomes available. (Oddly, I can
only play the podcasts configured on mysqueezebox.com - not the ones
configured in the LMS server podcast settings)

So I wonder, whether this is a one-off registration thing or if the
connection to mysqueezebox.com has to be maintained. Let us assume the
following: the mysqueezebox.com cloud goes down, or gets decommissioned
in a couple of years - does that mean, my LMS will lose all its tuneIn
radio stations, and the Podcast reader will vanish again?
I would like to be completely independent from any Logitech Cloud
services. Especially now that there are major product-line changes going
on at Logitech. It worries me slightly.

Any help would be appreaciated. I have been scratching my head over this
for a couple of weeks now.

Cheers
Kevin
