Issue with VAMP and LMS - resolved - and now dead!
« on: 17 Jan 2014, 06:04 pm »
I have been using a hacked Pogoplug running LMS for closing on 9 months now,without issue.

This week I allowed LMS to update, and now I cannot see my playlist.  I can play music, and I can see my library, but the current list of now playing just spools and will not load. 

Odd.  Anyone seen this?

Hmmm.  iPeng can "see" the playlist, just my PC interfaces don't.

Ah well, at least it's free!

Appears to have been an issue with the Pogoplug.

Subbing in an old stock SB3 has cured the issue.

I will have to test the Pogoplug again in time to see if I just need to reload the s/w or whatever.

Back to the tunes!

Did not want to spend the time yet to sort out why the Pogo was not showing up on LMS (it does appear in my router), so I installed SoftSqueeze on the dedicated netbook, and am running my USB-spdif converter directly off the netbook for now.

I will poke around with a reinstall of VAMP later for the Pogo.

Not sure from a sound perspective if using a VAMP as the player sounds any different than running Softsqueeze on the server and using it for playback too or not.

I do know that Softsqueeze does not play any of my 24 bit music.  The VAMP could so that will be one motivation to get it up and running again.

Got it sorted out.

I had to install a newer version of Squeezelite on the Pogoplug.

As luck would have it, I found a post by lcrim on another site, and with those explicit instructions I am up and running again.

Good thing too, as Squeezeplay plays static when it hits a 24 bit file...

My Pogoplug died over the weekend - no more lightweight player!

For the moment I am using Airplay from my iPad, but will research what folks have been doing with Raspberry Pi's to clone a Squeezebox player.
