Hi Dominique,
First start takes a few seconds, in the case of a Pi1 maybe even a minute.
Hi Dominique,
First start takes a few seconds, in the case of a Pi1 maybe even a minute.
Success!
After restarting, it works!
Great!

This particular problem has been solved, I needed to reload the systemd unit. Latest version has an updated installation script.
Hello Saiyato, I installed the Logitech Media Server plugin, I can enter mylocalhost:9000 and see the LMS web console, I connect to my account but I do not see the Volumio Player.
I am doing something wrong?

No, itās just the ānormalā LMS application. Iād say your player can reach the server.
Hi Sayato
first of all, thank you for the LMS plugin for Volumio. It works like a charm into my system.
I am running Volumio having the entire music library into a 128GB card and it is stunning everything can be run from such a little box. Also multi-room synchronisation is amazing. I have been able to revamp my old Squeezebox Boom to be part of the family.
I like especially library management and the way LMS allows randomisation of playback, that is where I have always perceived limitations on Volumio UI approach. That is something to be sent to Michelangelo for suggestions for future Volumio features.
Now to the main question.
I have setup the LMS and Squeezelite to stream audio straight to my Topping D10 DAC in a way that seems compatible with bit-perfect playback. The setting is the one that ādoes not process the audio streamā (I report this by heart since I have not Volumio at hand right now). Bitrate are switched reflecting the original media sampling frequency. Perfect.
Given the D10 allows for hardware 32 bit volume control, I would like to know if the volume control in the LMS UI allows for direct control of the hardware volume in the ESS chip - as it happens in Volumio or Daphile - or the stream is processed in software, that is something not ideal for me of course.
Thank you so much in advance for your kind reply.
Alessandro.
Hi Alessandro,
To be honest, Iām not sure, my best guess would be that LMS would influence the volume and not the client. But I havenāt tested this
Iām also not sure how I could test this, since Iām not too familiar with the Squeezelite client. Iāll see if I can test it with my Duet instead. That should answer the question if LMS is able to influence the volume of a client. Then we only need to confirm this for the Squeezelite client.
Cheers
Thanks Sayato for your kind reply.
I have set hardware volume control since it is possible with my DAC.
By playing with Squeezelite and Volumio I see that both can control volume in a sort of āconcatenationā. So, if Volume is in hardware I think it is unlikely Squeeze can do the same, so it is likely a software processing. However it is possible to lock at 100% so this should prevent processing. Fine.
Now I have another question. For few days I have enjoyed the Volumio + LMS and Squeezelite a lot. I though to have found āthe solutionā for my audio system butā¦ now I am experiencing a playback problem. Sometimes playback of a track stops after few seconds.
After some investigation it seems this happens only with Apple MP4 media (mainly I have ALAC). FLACs are not effected.
I have tried an external LMS server using Squeezelite on Volumio as playhead but behaviour is the same. It is driving me crazy!
Hope you can have a suggestion to fix this, it is quite frustrating.
Thank you and best,
Alessandro
Hi Sayato
I see Logitech has released a new update of LMS (7.9.2 - 0).
Although not a massive enhancement in terms of features, do you have plans to release the update through Volumio plugin?
Thank you

I second that request, thereās a new update today, that fixes TIDAL implementation, it doesnāt work right now.
How can we update to the newest version? Or are you updating the plug-in?
Thanks
Hi all,
Iāve worked on these requests, not sure if I can automagically select the highest versions. To be continued
You can always just install the latest version over the existing one. This should not break anything
In any case, Iām hoping to have some spare time to address this in the near future.
After installting the new updated. Not able to get the LMS.My LMS is 192.168.1.59:9000. But after installation of the new update ,LMS wont open .ANy option to restart the server and see ā¦ I tried starting the Rasberry Pi and checked but still not able to login to LMS server
If you view the log you will see some rights errors. Try this sudo chown -R volumio:volumio /var/lib/squeezeboxserver
Thanks it worked .Now updated to LMS .7.9.3 .
But while playing YouTube music still the file skips after trying to play. It actually tires for 3 sec and then skips to another file. Like that it skips 90% of files tried from YouTube. Kindly help
Hi bud,
This sounds like a problem for the LMS community, I just created the plugin for easy installation I did find some issues related to YT on Google, but I donāt use it myself so I donāt know what is real and what is old
Thanks, so, how do I upgrade, uninstall and install? And itās on version 8 now
Hi Pablo,
You will have to install the binaries yourself, the install script still targets 7.9; and V8 is not considered stable (but a developmental version). You are free to install it of course
Just make sure you āchownā /var/lib/squeezeboxserver
