Latest and Last version of LMS has arrived (8.4.0). Where will the open source work go? Will LMS continue to thrive? Thanks,

It has a very very strong community and will (IMHO) survive.

For those who don’t know what we are referring to, see

And the thread linked in the first post there.

Indeed Logitech has become a constraint on more community contributions

Thanks for the update. Just getting started with LMS within HA. Plex is… well Plex so trying to simplify to LMS and hoping this solution has ‘legs’.

Question: Media (in HA) sees my DLNA Renderers (3 - Arylic 50 + speakers) but they do not show up in LMS. I’ve enabled in Settings (turned on DLNA discovery) but still no love. Maybe missed something obvious!

Thoughts? thx

@nickrout Already talk of next version 8.5 to deal with complete separation from mySB server. Which should have happened earlier. A lot of support.

Hello Everyone.

type: button
tap_action:
  action: navigate
  navigation_path: http://ha-ip:8123/fc57b866_lms/dashboard
entity: xyz

I have a button in my dashboard which navigates to LMS dashboard. How do i get back to the main dashbaord? The back button doesnt take me to the main dashbaord. Also the sidebar is hidden, it has to be kept hidden only.

Kindly guide.

Thanks

Hello!

Can someone tell me if it is possible to attach a USB Drive with hfs format (macOS) to the Home Assistant Pi 4 and use it with this LMS Add-On?

I am using a Pi 4 with piCorePlayer and LMS in the moment and there it is possible without any problem (I am mounting it read-only as it will not be written to by LMS). I only have to install the neccessary drivers for hfs.

@carsten_h probably if you do a supervised install, as I doubt HAOS will allow you to add said drivers but might me worth at least testing. It’s certainly the intention of the add on to support flexible disk layout, nfs and usb storage.

In the meantime I set up a LXC-container in my Proxmox server for LMS and Squeezelite and there I have no problems in mounting hfsplus drives.

Thank you!

Hello Everyone,

I am not able to play .m4a files from logitech media server. .mp3 files are playing fine.

Kindly guide how to fix this.

Thank you

It’s probably too do with transcoding settings being wrong, it the transcoding binary not being included in the docker container. @pssc may be able to comment.

I just checked with music assistant, the same files are playing perfectly.

@pssc kindly guide how to fix this for LMS.

Thank you

You may need to consult the slimdevices forum.

already done that.

here is the log… If this helps…

stream is failing

Try proxing via LMS rather than leting the player stream direct?

Solved… thank you so much

When will we get the v8.4.0 update for the LMS addon ?
Kindly reply
Thank you

@Vandana soon I am testing depends on work and children :slight_smile:
