If you're using Edge, then this (unfortunately) is a known problem.

https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver/issues/221

But as Edge as we know it is to be dumped soon, this is not going to be
fixed. Please use a different browser for the time being.

"Cannot allocate memory" error

When trying to play some types of radio stream (specifically, those from the BBC iPlayer plugin), I get the error

Slim::Control::Request::execute (1888) Error: While trying to run function coderef [Slim::Control::Commands::playlistJumpCommand]: [open2: fork failed: Cannot allocate memory at /usr/share/perl5/Slim/Player/Pipeline.pm line 138.]

Other things (other streams, local media, etc) play fine.

I've already asked on the BBC iPlayer thread on the 3rd Party S/W forum and bpa replied to say:

LMS has lost all it's settings

My squeezelite-X app stopped playing today and flashed it lost connection to my LMS server. No bother I though so I restarted my server (WHS 2011) running LMS and its come back.

However the music is there but my settings don't seem to be. Nothing in library, nothing in mysqueezebox and everytime I try and enter my login it bounces back timeout.

This could be the death knell for me, I'm not using any players other than squeezelite-X when working in my office. Google Home and spotify have taken over the rest of the house. I do have my receiver setup but I have not used it in about a year.

squeezelite is still my goto in the office for spicefly sugarcube and Erlands plugins as well as Michael's Spotty but I really cannot be bothered setting up again? Anybody know of quick recovery from anywhere? Do I have settings I can copy in?

Update: OK the plugins appear to be there still, but all mine rely on mysqueezebox for licence manager, so that does seem to be the root cause? Will see if it sorts itself out? I can logon fine to the mysqueezebox website by the way.

Perl compilation error: $ipn

Not sure where to post this, as I can't tell whether it's a general LMS issue, or specific to pCP, or possibly even caused by Paul-'s latest test version of sbpd-pigpio (which is the only change I've made recently).

As of this morning, on rebooting pCP I've been getting quite a few instances where LMS fails to start. This is in the pcp_boot.log file:
Code:

Slimserver is not Running
Rebooting once or twice usually gets LMS to start. It doesn't seem to make any difference whether I try to start sbpd-pigpio as a [tweak], but that variable $ipn seems like it could be related to a pin number variable, hence my suspicions, but I have no idea whether/how variables used by sbpd-pigpio could interfere with perl compilation - seems unlikely.

Have I corrupted something with a careless reboot perhaps? Touch wood, everything seems to be working fine now, so maybe not worth any further investigation, but I'm still curious what could cause the compilation to fail 'occasionally'.

Hi there,

I thought I would upgrade LMS 7.9.1 to the latest 7.9.2. (date code august 16 2019). This is on a ReadyNAS NVX.

I tried the cleanup utility (delete preferences and delete the cache folder etc) but this did not help.
Any idea how to recover from this issue?

Thank you!

How can I get "All Artists" to display artists only?

Hello,
I have had this problem for a while but I cannot seem to figure out how to set up LMS.
all I want is that every artist in my collection is displayed under "Artist" or "All Artists" or whatever might be in the menu. This must also include artists that are not album artists but must exclude composers or conductors etc.

I have installed the "configure music menus"-plugin.

Name: lmsmusicmenuplugin.jpg Views: 60 Size: 127.8 KB

What is the difference between "Gruppe" and "Band"?
What is the difference between "Kuenstler" and "Interpret"?
Why can't "Gruppen" be "Interpreten"?
Why can't "Band" be "Album Artist"?
This is utterly confusing.

LMS 7.9.2 new install on Windows 7 Pro - troubles

August 27, 2019, 1:54 pm

I had hoped to find a configuration document - but I seem to be looking in the wrong place??

I am running Win 7 Pro and LMS 7.9.2 which installed just fine. My music (19000 wav files) is moved across just fine and I can "see" it in the LMS Music webpage on the LMS PC under 127.0.0.1:9000 - although when I do a rescan it only tells me that 7 and 2 files have been indexed - which I find odd.

But although I can ping the PC with LMS installed (192.168.0.20) I cant access the webpage using 192.168.0.20:9000 - which is what I was expecting.

So far I have yet to get a player attached (I have a Touch and a USB DAC).

So where do I find a configuration document which will tell me HOW to do the above.

I have used LMS for years under Vortexbox - but that system is very old and I want to go the windows route.

Check the system's log files (/var/log/messages) to see whether there
has been an issue on the system itself. OOM or network or whatever.

When this happens, would there still be a LMS process on the system, but
hanging?

That's not possible. That list is rendered from the data stored in the
database. Once you re-scan and that data is changed, the results will be
updated accordingly. There's no history of data. You'd have manage
versions yourself.

Ports 3483 and 9000 Failed?

August 29, 2019, 6:18 pm

Hello,

I'm having some so issues with LMS for Windows that I'm hoping someone can help me out with. I started having issues with the Shairtunes2 and Youtube plugins not connecting or playing. After a bit of looking, I noticed that under the LMS Control Panel, Port 3483 (slimproto) and Port 9000 (HTTP) both show as failed. In the alerts section it reads:

We've seen that your Logitech Media Server is configured to use a proxy server. In this configuration connectivity to mysqueezebox.com on port 3483 can't be tested.

We were not able to successfully communicate with mysqueezebox.com
This might be a temporary internet issue, or a limitation imposed by your ISP. If the problem persists, please make sure your firewall is not blocking outgoing traffic.

I tried googling to see if there was a simple solution to this issue but could only find people mentioning that port 3483 needed to be opened. I believe that I have the port opened after messing with my router and the Windows Firewall settings, but the issue remains.

As you can probably tell I'm not super familiar with networking, so If someone could point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it.

My ISP is CenturyLink and I've got a Zyxel C3000Z modem/router.

Please let me know if there is any other pertinent information I've left out.

Thanks in Advance,

Playlist entry creating duplicate album and track entry

August 30, 2019, 7:19 am

So, for example, Album 'The Doors' contains a track called 'Soul Kitchen' - listed correctly in LMS
Creating a playlist that includes 'Soul Kitchen' results in no change to original album listing, but (at some point) does create an additional instance of 'The Doors' album, containing a single track of 'Soul Kitchen'.

Have had several trawls to see if somebody else already had the answer so apologies if it is there somewhere, but the closest I have found is the suggestion that this is caused by having the Playlist folder within the Music folder (and hence creating duplicates), which is not the case here.

My Library is on a Synology NAS. I maintain the original library on my PC, it backs up to the NAS, and that is the directory that LMS uses.

Media folder: /volume1/music/XPS2/J/Users/XXX/Music
Playlists folder: /volume1/music/XPS/C/Users/XXX/Music/Playlists

You can see the file paths are different, and in fact clearing the library and rescanning from scratch resolves the problem - no more additional albums, so it would not appear to be the location per se.

Maybe the problem only occurs when the Playlist is actually played? Is it a play count thing?

Can anyone explain what is happening and how to stop it?

UPDATE:
Unsurprisingly, this turned out to be an I.D. 10 T error, but I will explain the resolution in case someone else makes the same mistake.

It appears the original playlist location was referencing the original location of the files (C/Users/XXX/Music) which are still there. I had assumed (yes... ) that LMS would only see files it scanned in the Media folder. It turns out the file locations referenced in the playlists were just added to the Library, and as they were different files in a different directory, showed up as additional, duplicate tracks in the Library.

Help! New router isuues

September 1, 2019, 4:05 am

I set up a new ASUS router yesterday and I am having issues with all of my Squeezeboxes both wired and wireless.

All SBs state that they cannot connect to my LMS instance (running on Synology NAS). However, iPeng can see it and the connected players that state they cannot connect. Using iPeng or the LMS login via a PC I can play music on a selected player but the player's display does not change and remains on home menu (or whatever the last menu page was physically selected on the unit). So it seems that the players are now somehow blocked from seeing LMS but using iPeng I can send music to the players. Does anyone have any idea what's going on and how to resolve this please?

I have reset the router multiple times along with turning everything off and on again and I can view the LMS server and all settings via my PC and all looks to be correct (nothing has been changed in the settings since installing new router). I am completely stumped!

TIA

Music "doesn't exist on disk - skipping!"

Today my music has been pausing and restarting over and over again. In my log I see "doesn't exist on disk - skipping!" This happens with music stored on the same server as LMS, and with two internet radio apps (Radio Paradise and SomaFM), using SLX or a Touch as clients.

It's not my ISP, LAN, or server disc, because a non-LMS client (MusicBee) can play internet radio and can also access music files on the same server just fine.

Is there anything I can clear or reset from within LMS Settings? I've been running LMS 7.9.2 for many months, on Sonicorbiter OS which limits how much I can do on the command line.

I stumbled across an old Chromecast audio in a box of tangled wires ... I set it up again (and accessed it via the chromecast plugin) Excellent. I pushed the audio out to a mini Avantree Priva iii aptx BT transmiiter. Sounds great on all the bt headphones I've tried. The Priva has an extensive range so there are no dropouts.

The Avantree transmitters are really good - The Priva (39 USD) is a small round disk but only has 3.5 mm input. The Audikast (49 USD) has an additional optical input. 5-10 dollar discounts are often available.

Question / Problem regarding Picture of Radio Station / Podcast

September 9, 2019, 3:34 am

Hi Michael;
I have the following 'problem':
When I look at i.e. a podcast list, each podcast has its own unique icon / image.
But when I select one podcast from the list and go to the now playing screen (i.e. material skin, but also std skin), it briefly shows the unique image, but flips back to the std. Podcast image after 1 second or so.
You can try to see what I mean by including i.e. this Podcast into your podcast list and looking at the list (with the unique icons) and then select and play one (and then only see the std icon of that podcast):
https://podcast.wdr.de/radio/hoerspiel.xml

Maybe related:
When I select i.e. Deutschlandfunk Kultur 101.3 (Kultur) from the Radio List, I also get only the std. icon of that station, whereas I am pretty sure that in earlier builds of LMS, the icon updated to the currently playing song releated image (I still get the song info, just not the corresponding image)

As stated, I am pretty sure that this behavior changed during evolvement of LMS. (Sorry that I can not pinpoint the build when that happened)

-> Is there a way to get the 'unique images' back?
