Logitech Media Server

  • Hi,


    Not sure if anyone can help but It looks like repo http://debian.slimdevices.com stable main is no longer available. I've seen the following information on the slim devices site (http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Debian_Package) about how to install Logitech Media Server on Debian but it doesn't appear to work (enter the first line e.g. latest_lms=$ etc and I just return to ">" prompt. In essence it looks like I need to enter the following:


    -------


    latest_lms=$(lms=$(lms=$(wget -q -O - "http://www.mysqueezebox.com/update/?version=7.8.0&revision=1&geturl=1&os=deb"))
    mkdir -p /sources
    cd /sources
    wget $latest_lms
    lms_deb=$(echo $latest_lms|cut -d "/" -f8)
    dpkg -i $lms_deb
    ls /sources/logi* -1t | tail -3| xargs -d '\n' rm -f


    --------


    Can anyone tell me if this is a valid install method on OMV 2.1 or is there an equivalent version of the previous install method I used which involved setting up a Custom Repo and entering the following:
    deb http://debian.slimdevices.com stable main


    If you've not already guessed I'm fairly new to all this, the ability to run LMS was one of the driving factors for selecting OMV.


    Other than this OMV has been rock solid and done everything I've asked of it very impressed so far.


    Any help would be appreciated.


    Thanks

  • Hi, Your script is supposed to be used to modify the LMS start up script. If you enter it line by line it won't work! Reading the threads on the squeeze forums about the Debian repo, it seems that this script may be added to LMS.


    However it is simple to install/upgrade LMS from the command line- personally I never found the LMS repo reliable so I always just downloaded it.


    1. Login to OMV, enter: mkdir scratch
    2. Enter: cd scratch



    3. Enter: wget wget -q -O - "http://www.mysqueezebox.com/update/?version=7.9.0&revision=1&geturl=1&


    Change the version to the one you are using- this is important (7.7.x, 7.8 or 7.9) This downloads the latest deb file to the scratch folder. If this doesn't pull down LMS use the direct link from the nightly download page.


    4. Install it with: dpkg -i the_exact_filename_you_downloaded.deb


    To install a new version start at step 2.

    Maybe a typo here? I just get a >


    Yes sorry. For today's nightly use this
    wget http://downloads.slimdevices.c…_7.9.0~1435222036_all.deb


    If you want the newest 7.9 nightly in the future check this page for the link http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/?ver=7.9


    There is a way to grab the latest nightly with this link http://www.mysqueezebox.com/update/?version=7.9.0&revision=1&geturl=1&%20lms_deb=$


    But I am missing something- maybe someone will post the correct syntax.

  • PPl,
    I am having very much trouble with installing and running LMS on the stoneburner OMV server. Read this workaround but it did not solve my problems. Is there ANYBODY out there that has LMS running on the latest stoneburner? A bit of help would be greatly appreciated.
    tnx

  • I downloaded the. deb LMS nightly and want to install it
    Can I transfer it to a suitable folder on system and then install with dkpg -i?


    SSH is blocked at present on my new install so my options are console and explorer.

  • In the next 1-2 weeks i am building my own NAS with OMV x86-64bit. One of the important applications are the Logitech Media Server / Squeezebox


    I have a question about LMS:


    Like i see here, there are two ways to install LMS:


    1. The one, which is described here: Download and install the latest Logitech Media Server nightly: Debian Installer Package
    2. Using Docker and choose one of the LMS-Container: The Container from Lars Kellogg-Stedman are up-todate, the Container from Davomat looks quite up-to-date too


    Which way is better - or what is the advantage and the disadvantage?

  • I have been using LMS for over 6 years now on various platforms. Never bothered to integrate it in OMV, don't see the advantage. Just install the deb manually on the OVM box and configure it on your web browser on port 9000. No fuss, works stable. My advise: just install the latest 7.9 nightly (two commands wget + dpkg -i) and be happy.

  • Thanks!


    I have done this now and LMS is running at http://192.168.178.25:9000 and my music folders are scanned
    But i can not reach SSODS/SSOTS at http://192.168.178.25:9099
    Is this not part of this package anymore?


    Edit:


    My mistake. SSODS/SSOTS is for Synology-/QNAP-Nas. I have made there some configuration in the past, i am missing now.
    After all: quick and easy installation! Nice!


    Code
    [As a reminder: Search for the Debian (for me: x86_64) package Link here: http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/index.php?ver=7.91. wget http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/7.9/sc/fb1383f/logitechmediaserver_7.9.0~1457466777_amd64.deb2. dpkg -i logitechmediaserver_7.9.0~1457466777_amd64.deb]


    Aditional Notes:


    I am using AutoShutDown with LMS. This is a little tricky and maybe my experiences are useful for others:
    AutoShutDown wit IP's dont work good. The Touches are often online. I am working with ULDL Rate (=10).
    Also the Server Power Control Plugin for LMS is necessary. LMS (maybe) wakes the NAS after some seconds after shutdown. With this Plugin it is possible to shutdown LMS and switch every time with the shutdown to http://www.mysqueezebox.com (see here and here).
    To wake up my NAs from my Desktop-PC, i am using this little portable tool: WakeMeOnLan

  • Today , after a hygiene reboot of my OMV 3 on my BananaPi my Squezzebox Server won't start. I produced a lot of CPU load, but the internal Webserver won't initialize and also no logfile produced any usable output, so after some try and error, I decided to reinstall.
    since I was not sure, if Squeezebox server will run also with OMV3 I found this forum post.....
    I used exactly your short installation guide (of course I changed the download to the ARM version.....uninstalled my old version and re-installed the new version and.....it worked.
    Thank you for the forum post...... logitechmediaserver_7.9.0~1488878280 is working on OMV3
