    Hello,

    I am using Max2Play 2.33 with Logitech Media Server 7.9.x Nightly Builds and have a presumably simple question to answer:

    How best to update LMS? Within the LMS Web Admin itself, it reads

    Your Logitech Media Server has downloaded the latest installer to the following location:
/var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache/updates/logitechmediaserver_7.9.0~1469176740_arm.deb
Please execute the following steps...

    Should I do this, or instead use the Max2Play Admin Interface –> Squeezebox under „Server Start Installation / Show Available Versions“ etc.?

    Thanks very much for some guidance.

    Best regards

    Hi jcu-muc,
    The Logitech Media Server 7.9 nightly is the most stable, most up-to-date version. We do not recommend installing a different version. Only the three options on the installer of Max2Play are compatible. We do not recommend any updates since the software has not changed.

    Does this mean, that future LMS updates will always be available sometimes trough the max2play web interface, as soon they are tested and released through your developers?

    For me, it’s not important to always be on the latest version of LMS, as long as I will be sometimes available to update it via max2play web interface finally.

    Kind regards
    Roman

    Hi Roman,

    That is exactly what it means. We currently offer the Squeezebox Server up to version 8.2. You are welcome to check and compare the differences between the versions of the server in the slimdevices forum. Normally – as long as you do not miss any function or encounter any problems – you do not need to update the server.

    Hi Mario

    Thanks. To see if and how it works, I entered this link:

    http://downloads-origin.slimdevices.com/nightly/8.1/lms/00f791bfd211d16686ad56ee860ae8cc01a29175/logitechmediaserver_8.1.2~1624550702_arm.deb

    in this field:

    Alternative Paketquelle für LMS von Slimdevices (muss das Debian Package sein): [ ]

    on the max2play web inteface – Squeezebox Server tab. Then I started the installation.

    But it didn’t work and installed the current version 8.0.1 again. What did I wrong?

    Regards

    Hi Roman,

    The correct link should be this one:
    http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/./8.1/lms/00f791bfd211d16686ad56ee860ae8cc01a29175/logitechmediaserver_8.1.2~1624550702_arm.deb

    Please note that you can also install your desired LMS version simply by clicking on the button „Show available versions“. You do not need to insert the link manually as long as you do not want to install a „special“ version of LMS.
