The system is functional. I have connectivity via ssh right now (where some of the following comes from) and can see SqueezeBox* processes running:

lms_raspberrypi% ps -ef |grep squee

I can see LMS listening on port 9000:

But I cannot connect to the web UI in a browser or connect to LMS with AndroidOS apps like SqueezeController or SqueezeCommender, they time out. Nor can I connect my SB Classic -- says it "cannot connect to server."

I'm logged into a SSH session. Networking is good. As you can see above, processes are running. But, I also see in top:

The two LMS processes squeezeboxserve and perl are consuming a lot of resources. So much so that, I think, LMS will not respond to connection requests.

This is a new install and I know LMS is scanning my NAS-located library. The NAS is mounted using this entry in /etc/fstab:

//nas326/WD-My-Passport-0827-1012 /media/nas326_music cifs username=<uid>,password=<pwd>,sec=ntlm,iocharset=u tf8 0 0

How can I fix this? It's not very useful if everytime time I add music to my admittedly VERY large library (50,000 tracks) LMS cannot be used until the library scan concludes.

To look if QLogitechMediaServer, will also work QNap nas systems with QTS lower then 4.2.
I am looking for people how have a QNap, to test if it also works on those !

So if you have a QNap system with the right architecture with QTS 4.1 or lower send me a pm?

Hi when I rescan my library, it's failing to scan a small number of mp4 files which I have created via audio hijack. The message read "Skipping audio file passed to scan_video. (This will be fixed later.)(code -4)"

Any ideas on how I get round this?

Thx

Problems getting squeezeplay to work remotely over ssh

I have used my mobile to connect remotely to LMS using ssh (using a public key exchange for security). I use Squeeze Commander and Squeeze Player for this, and it works well. Apart from the security and router set-up all I have to do is set up local ports 9000 and 3483 in ssh (using the -L parameter) on the mobile to route requests to those ports to my remote server's address.

I also managed to get this working using squeezelite and a web browser on my laptop using the same technique. Both are connected using (local) address 127.0.0.1 which is intercepted by ssh and forwarded to LMS. The full ssh syntax is:

Code:

---

ssh -L localhost:9000:LMS-local-IP-address:9000 -L localhost:3483:LMS-local-IP-address:3483  LMS-dns-address

---

I then tried to do this with squeezeplay on the same laptop. When I try to connect to 127.0.0.1 the playing side works OK (and can be controlled by a web browser on the laptop connected to port 9000). However, the squeezeplay control side fails to complete the connection and cannot be used. The 127.0.0.1 address reamins in the settings configuration, but cannot be used to control LMS.

I have tried to determine the reason for this but (so far) failed. I have tried using firewall logging to work out what is happening but sorting the wood from the trees has proved beyond me thus far. I have tried with both laptop and LMS firewalls off, just in case, and also with my LMS IP-based security switched off. Neither of these helped. LMS on the server see the requests as local (from 127.0.0.1) which is what the ssh server is using.

I have wondered whether an additional information exchange is needed with squeezeplay on one or more different ports for the control side which are not specified in my ssh command. This would explain why the playing side (on 3483) works but the control side fails to complete. However, I haven't been able to find out what this might be.

Has anyone else ever managed to get squeezeplay to work in a similar way?

Hi,

At work I have a boom and have installed LMS 7.9.1 on LinuxLite 3.8 (64 bit) on ESXi. The intention is to simply use it to listen via the RadioParadise flac plugin. Previously have been using mysb.com.

Install has gone ok - I can ping between my boom and LMS IP. The LMS web interface works fine from the Linux host (localhost) but I cant reach the LMS web interface from another host. Similarly I cannot get my boom to connect to my LMS.

I ran a TCPDUMP and I can see a syn being received at the host but there is no response --> LMS is therefore not responding.

There is no problem making a connection from Linux to an external site.

AFAICT the problem is somehow network access between LMS & LinuxLite.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Issue with QOBUZ Plugin (tracks not available for streaming with an Asterisk label*)

Hi,
I have an issue with the Qobuz plugin!
LMS shows some albums with an asterisk, while I can listen to them in Qobuz (Mac version).
And when I try to delete them from my favorites in Qobuz (Mac version) in order to recreate the same favorite album, I can see it twice in the plugin.
And when an album disappear from Qobuz, I can not get rid of it in LMS.

Any solution for that? (I love the Qobuz plugin, thanks to Pierre/Michael)

Many thanks,

Brannou

Hi guys, I've been using squeezeboxes since the early days of V1 SlimStuff. In fact I still have one working. And 4 others from Logitech, V2 & 3.

They've always been plagued by stream interruptions stating, "Cannot connect to server," even when not in use, then they'll reconnect. Sometimes it's very quick, sometimes it's hours. Sometimes they freeze completely. All using latest firmware & server software. Have tried previous versions also, same problem.

The ONLY thing that helps is re-booting the computer running squeezebox server AND re-booting router, then they perform perfectly for about a week. Only doing one of those things doesn't help. I'm sick of re-booting everything.

This happens with multiple players in virtually any format - local server, NAS, Squeezebox.com, everything. Happens using any router & any signal strength (all are good & well over 50% signal on a very fast home network).

I'm at the end of my rope. So before switching to the Amazon Echo, which I don't want to do, is there anything I can try to resolve this? Win 7 OS here with TP Link AC1750.

Hi

I am contemplating to upgrade my wifi and I am leaning towards a mesh network - but they are considerably more expensive than a conventional wifi with extenders.

My question: can you recommend any? Are they worth the money? Although the flat is not to big, we have concrete walls and have quite bad reception in half of the rooms. Any suggestions? Wiring is not really an option, as we are only renting.

What exact aspect do you need information for? You might want to just ask here.

Can't add 3rd party plugins

I can' install 3rd party plugins via the LMS plugins settings page. It's the exact same behaviour as described here, but in my case on a Synology NAS, rather than QNAP.

Karlek posted a quick solution in the thread mentioned above for QNAP. I think in my case it's a similar problem, but I'm not familar with the QNAP world and don't know, what's the background of this config change for the SSOTS service or how and where it could be applied on a Synology NAS.

Does anyone know the root cause for this behavior and how to solve it?

Export playlist of music files to USB pen drive

Is there a plugin/add-on that will let me export/copy a playlist of music files (the actual flac files) from LMS to a USB pen drive?
I can copy files to my android devices using orange squeeze but the wife doesn't like using her phone to play music in the car and wants to use a USB pen drive.
I can drag and drop music to it using file explorer but it's a bit of a pita.
It would be great if I could create a playlist of the music she wants in the car and copy those files directly to a USB stick.
Anyone know of any way of achieving this?
Thanks in advance.

Everything was working fine, then the other day I went to use the LMS control panel and it wanted me to login. Pup-up box said 'Authentication is required to access logitech media server". It's never asked for that before. Tried windows login username and pass but that wasn't it. Also, rebooted pc, and installed a newer version (7.9.1-1519287262) but neither set things right.

Server is still running and I can play music from the SB interface, just can't get to things on pc or iPeng on iPad and iPhone. They all ask me for username and password.

I'd guess there is a method to do a clean install or is there a settings file I can delete to reset things?

Thanks!

Is there any chance of a function to adjust playback speed? I listen to a lot of audiobooks/podcasts and it would be great to make them play a bit faster.

Apologies if this has been discussed before but I'm struggling big time. Until today I was able to access radio services on my SB radio and Touches via LMS hosted on my ReadyNas 212. Today I can't, (I get a 'failure to resolve IP address message) and the reason has to be that I've swapped ISP from Sky to PlusNet. The gateway IP is different on the new router and I've configured this on the ReadyNas but without success. Is there a DNS setting anywhere in LMS that I have to change as well (because I can't find it if there is!) ? Also, I am able to stream music from the server to my SB devices with wireless but can't get Ethernet to work.

Any ideas/help would be very greatly appreciated.

In my system I use several different methods of "powering up" amplifiers connected to squeeze devices, all of these work on the "Power" state of the players.

The problem I'm having is that I now have a valve (tube) power amplifier for my bedroom system this takes nearly a minute to warm up after power on this gives me two problems:-
The volume has ramped up quite a bit in the time the amp has taken to warm up and is loud and very distorted (due to the valves not being warm enough).

I have the same problem (to a far less extent) with my solid state amps which take a couple of seconds to un mute after power on

Is it possible to modify the alarm plugin to have a setting to switch player "power" on x seconds before the alarm is triggered ?

A time of 0 (or 1) to maybe 300 or 600 seconds to allow for some stabilization of amp parameters (whether SS or valve)

So there is no confusion when I say "Power" I mean the equivalent of clicking the power button in the Web GUI


Thanks

This would be a lot of work, not feasible as a plugin.

Hello Michael,

A bug keeps reappearing on the macOS scanner: it chokes on a track with the following TITLE
"La flûte de Pan (Pierre Louÿs)".

It dislikes the umlaut over the letter "y".

We discussed that bug earlier. It had disappeared on March 7, only to reappear now.

Thanks a million for your work.

PS: How about a warning on the main page of the Web interface that the last scheduled rescan has failed? Better: could Jivelite, conceivably, convey this info?

My Squeezebox setup has LMS on a Vortexbox and I play it mostly through RPi/PcP and Windows Squeezelite clients.

I'm suffering from a really annoying problem where the music just stops. As it happens on PcP and my Windows PC I am assuming it is a server issue rather than a PcP/Squeeselite one, but happy to be put right on that. It certainly takes place when listening through the iPlayer plugin but also when I listen to My Music.

Today, as an example, a PcP unit was started at 7am and ran through until 8:07pm when it stopped.

Meanwhile my Windows PC upstairs had been playing from for a couple of hours before stopping at 8:00pm. I have restarted and it has stopped randomly twice in the last 20 minutes while I write this.

I have looked at the LMS logs and attach them here:
The RPi/PcP is 74:da:38:54:5a:69
The Win Squeezelite is c8:60:00:cc:4f:82

Does the attached log reveal any problems? I'm sorry I don't know enough to interpret it.

George
