Logitech Media Server Changelog

What's new in Logitech Media Server 7.8.0.1391769631 Beta

Feb 12, 2014
  • New Features:
  • Re-implement Podcast plugin to support all players. Allow resuming a podcast you partially listened to before.
  • Modify Internet Radio integration to work independently from mysb.com if needed.
  • Add new scanner step to discover new/changed/removed standalone artwork for album covers.
  • A new generic image resizing proxy is now built in to LMS. It can be used instead of the image proxy hosted on mysqueezebox.com, or independently by plugins to eg. resize artwork local to your network (and therefore not reachable by the remote proxy).
  • The default behaviour on power-on is changed to resume what was playing before power-off. This change will only apply to new players attached to the server; the behaviour for existing players can be changed with Settings / Player / Audio.
  • Support for Ogg FLAC in the server and Squeezeplay-based players
  • Added support for setting alarm playlist shuffle mode (thanks hickinbottoms!)
  • Volume adjustment for Internet Radio (feature request #2431)
  • Allow clients to register artwork resizing specifications to be pre-cached during the media scan.
  • Add Triode LocalFile 'loc' ProtocolHandler support for squeezelite.
  • Platform Support:
  • Perl 5.18 modules for Linux x86_64 systems have been added.
  • Improved compatibility with latest Perl 5.18 changes.
  • Bug Fixes:
  • #8180 - Squeezecenter prevents user logout after restart
  • #17174 - Title info doesn't update correctly when multiple SBs are playing same station
  • #17634 - Random art represents an album as cover art, if there is track art available
  • #17729 - On Linux SBS 7.4.1 and above: service cannot be stopped or restarted after an 'internal' restart
  • #17758 - Pop up symbols linger too long on the screen
  • #17920 - TuneIn Radio Options Context Menu - Results returned are unnecessarily limited and frequently 'not available'
  • #17933 - Failure to parse m3u playlists with relative paths
  • #17937 - Now Playing information can alternate between station and current-track titles at track skip
  • #17950 - %w macros (stream seconds duration) returns negative value
  • Don't submit disc number with album names when scrobbling to last.fm
  • Other:
  • Recognize Fedora as being a Red Hat system.
  • Improve Perl 5.16 compatibility to silence some warnings.
  • Don't enforce PNG when showing full size artwork, but only when resizing is requested. Converting a large JPG would result in a huge PNG
  • Don't deal with photo and/or video folders if the UPnP plugin has been disabled.
