Logitec Media Server plugin for Volumio

mps · August 21, 2022, 10:53pm

After two steps forward in the last post, here’s the one step back. Whenever I play a track on squeezelite, there’s a noticeable pop in the first few seconds, which is disruptive to the listening experience. I’ve tried a wide range of parameters and both the ALSA and I2S output devices.

There is no pop if I play the track either using volumio’s upnp player or use the digital out from my Squeezebox touch, so it does appear to be related to the SqueezeLite plugin

Has anyone run into this? Did you find a solution?

Thanks,
Mike

I am new to Volumio and downloaded the LMS player through the plug-in page but I can’t open it and get the attached error.

I am not a Linux expert which is why I am looking at using Volumio.

Can you access your rPi ip over port 9000?

PKay · September 12, 2022, 11:33am

You have just jumped up to a new language for me. I have no idea how to do that.

I was hoping the plug in would have worked.

patrickkfkan · September 12, 2022, 11:51am

Which version of LMS did you install?

Wheaten · September 12, 2022, 12:19pm

yeah topic and first post raises some contradiction.

To run LMS you need two parts:

LMS server
LMS player

Your topic suggest you installed the server plugin, your first comment is regarding the player.

PKay · September 12, 2022, 12:32pm

This is what I installed.

patrickkfkan · September 12, 2022, 1:49pm

You could try the Docker edition by first enabling the Plugins Test Mode in http://<your volumio address>/dev

Then uninstall the LMS plugin you installed, restart Volumio, then install the LMS - Docker version.

PKay · September 13, 2022, 10:37am

Thanks that has worked but now I also need to load a player. Edit - found the plug-in.

First impression is that Volumio is better

Kind regards,
Peter

Hi everyone, both normal and “dockerised” version of LMS plugin doesn’t work on my volumio 3.324 installation, even after a fresh system reset. Can’t access it over port 9000. It was working a couple of months before
Please help since it’s the best piece of software for my primo
Thank you by advance

here it looks like LMS is even not installed
It’s a shame, i came to LMS plugin because I was not convinced by certain strange behaviour and bug of spotify plugin + spotify connect within volumio
Alternatively, I tested the UMS boot method to try a “come back to 2.9 version” without any success (maybe not the right cable or board problem)
Things are really complicated and I’m a good level nerd, i’m really fed up

patrickkfkan · September 18, 2022, 9:49am

For Docker version, see if LMS logs capture any error. The log file path should be:

/var/lib/docker/volumes/logitechmediaserver-config/_data/logs/server.log

In SSH, you would have to sudo to see it:

sudo cat /var/lib/docker/volumes/logitechmediaserver-config/_data/logs/server.log

PKay · September 18, 2022, 10:12am

Would someone please explain what Docker version is?

chourmovs_vs · September 19, 2022, 4:17pm

Would someone please explain what Docker version is?

Docker is a piece of software that allow to install mostly any other software in any environment by providing the full execution environment a.k.a container including tiny OS (often alpine linux) and all needed dependencies. the purpose is slightly different from running it in a virtual machine or in a particular OS since if you update the container, all the dependencies are also updated. It’s top notch, - easy to deploy configure and maintain - virtualization technology, perfect for headless server and productive environment

PKay · September 19, 2022, 11:40pm

Thank you for the explanation. That is helpful.

Is there any requirement to update Docker when Linux updates? Or hopefully it updates at the same time.

chourmovs_vs · September 20, 2022, 5:13am

it depends but generally you don’t need

Arcticpollen · September 20, 2022, 9:07am

It all seems to be getting a bit tedious trying to get LMS running properly on Volumio 3. My use case for Volumio is as a Spotify connect endpoint and LMS to be able to use the BBC Sounds plug-in. My desktop streaming DAC/pre-amp does not support either of these. It is a Roon endpoint and I use this for access to my local music library.

I think I’ll be dropping Volumio and giving something like piCorePlayer as this seems to do everything that I need.

zlaja5 · September 21, 2022, 4:03pm

I also have problem with logitech media server like chourmovs_vs
Everything was ok with Sayato LMS, but I wanted to try Docker LMS.
Now, I can’t access it over port 9000 with both version of LMS.

chourmovs_vs · September 21, 2022, 4:21pm

At least it make me feel less alone, thank you for having share
