I am playing with LMS v8.0 as implemented through Daphile and I am truly amazed of the library integration feature. I can now see in my library all my local content AND my Qobuz favorites in one go!
Of course the latter are properly tagged so that if I request a random playlist based, say, on genre these are included as expected.
Now, I see you say version 8.0 is not a stable version. I trust you but aside of Daphile version 8.0 is also the standard version offered by Logitech on their download page. I can assure in Daphile I have not found any issue whatsoever.
Are you planning sooner or later to allow the upgrade to v8.0 of the plugin?
Also I am using Volumio X86 running on a Macmini (which I find to be a superb hardware for the purpose) but I lack the LMS plugin for this platform.
I know some of the topics have been touched already here, but you are the man that can make our dreams true
Havenāt had the time yet, this takes planning and testing. currently working on a few other plugins.
You can just download the binaries and install them over 7.9; that ought to do the trick. Nothing fancy I think (as said, havenāt had the time to test as I donāt personally use the plugin). The plugin itself is pretty much just a link to the web UI and an installation script.
Download the desired version & architecture (e.g. 8.1.1 for ARM: wget http://downloads.slimdevices.com/LogitechMediaServer_v8.1.1/logitechmediaserver_8.1.1_arm.deb)
Install it sudo dpkg -i logitechmediaserver_8.1.1_arm.deb you will see (amongst other messages): Unpacking logitechmediaserver (8.1.1) over (7.9.1) ... - note this might take a while
Set the permissions of the squeezeboxserver directory (recursively) sudo chown -R volumio:volumio /var/lib/squeezeboxserver
Stop/start the plugin; OR stop/start the service manually; OR reboot - note that restarting the service might take a few seconds, depending on your hardware
Happy testing
Note that if anything doesnāt go as planned, it will require some investigation I havenāt tested this thoroughly, I just tested if the service starts to do this write up.
One more question (never enough!) is there any possibility to port the plugin to the x86 version? In this case also Squeezelite plugin (or install) would be neededā¦
Thank you again for the great job.
Kindly help to select the output in Squuezlite player .
Iam using Allo Katana dac with isolator board. LMS working properly but no Player coming to select in the player option.
HI iam using Logitech Media Server Version: 8.2.0 - 1627922070 @ Tue Aug 3 11:39:20 CEST 2021.
Have updated the Youtube apps. But Youtube app not working or listing any files.
Please advise
Hi Saiyato,
I have upgraded to Volumio3.But No plugins to install LMS and squeeze Player.
Please share link to Install the same on Volumio3.163.
Thanks in advance and seasons Greetings
Thatās why I havenāt upgraded, I think Iām going to stay with version 2 as long as it is supported. And if LMS never gets to volumio 3, Iāll change to another OS. Volumio 2 is terrible for playing random music. I hope they have fixed that in Volumio 3. But if they donāt and I donāt have LMS, then it is no use to me.
Do to personal circumstances I havenāt been very active. I will look at the plugin, like RIGHT NOW
Just pushed some of my other plugins to the acceptance queue (well, at least I created PRās to the repo).
So, a few things need to happen:
Make sure the plugin actually works on Volumio 3 (thank you captain obvious)
See if we can safely upgrade to the latest LMS, not sure if I can devise some logic to always pull the latestā¦ This is step two, first check if my previous version installs without breaking too much
Push all changes that result from the above to acceptance queue for Volumio 3 plugins
Thanks for the update.
These days I use Volumio for the first time since a long time, may be Iām wrong but before LMS and squeezelite was proposed directly in the plugin management, isnāt it ? I still see the installer in the Plugins repo , it should be a standard option
Anyway, Iāve just tried your new version of Squeezelite Player, it works immediately in volumio 3, thanks for that !
Iāve made some observations :
Squeezelite doesnāt display the current cover in volumio.
The sound of Squeezelite is managed separetly from Volumio main volume.
playing something from another source will not stop Squeezelite
In fact it is like if Squeezelite was an independent player in background of volumio without communication integration, is it normal or I miss something ?
