I experienced a very strange anomaly in my version 7.75 logitech server system when I attempted to run using a 64 bit Debian 7.1 (with all current updates) OS installed on a Gagabyte BRIX Ultra compact PC with Intel Celron N2807, 1.58 GHz CPU. The "receivers" are two each of the following: Logitech Boom, Logitech Radio, and Logitech Duet. Previously I was using the same receivers with a version 7.7.5 server on an ECOMANI PC with atom D525 dual core cpu running 32 bit Debian 6.0 (with all current updates). (I wouldn't have chaged the PC except for the fact that the ECOMANI's fan died, and I could not find a replacement.
With the ECOMANI server all of the receivers were able to receive all of the local FM station streams through the tunein radio application. With the 64 bit BRIX the Boom receivers could not open a couple of the streams. The Radio and the Duet receivers could receive all stations. The Boom receivers could receive all but a few of the stations. One of the affected stations was KPFK (90.7 on FM dial). If I tried to listen to that stream on either of the Boom receivers I would get only a message that the file could not be opened.
I tried installing the Logitech server on another 32 bit PC and found that it worked fine, no problems wih missing stations. So, I installed the 32 bit Debian 7.8 (current version) OS on the BRIX, and then installed the logitech media server version 7.7.5. With the 32 bit OS the BRIX server streamed all stations without a problem.
So, I conclude there is an incompatability between the logitech mecia server and 64 bit OSs. I'm perfectly happy that everything is working; I submitted this more to document the problem and perhaps bring it to the attention of someone who might be able to clear up the incompatability.
