!Logitech Squeezebox Radio plus Media/Musik Server

[{TableOfContents }]

The public media server at www.mysqueezebox.com was retired early 2024, see anouncement [1|https://forums.slimdevices.com/forum/user-forums/deutsch/1668931-mysqueezebox-com-und-uesmartradio-com-infrastruktur] and [2|https://forums.slimdevices.com/forum/user-forums/general-discussion/1668327-uesmartradio-com-and-mysqueezebox-com-servers].\\
You need to have your own Media Sever for the Radio now.

! Squeezbox Radio 
Initially I added the remote LMS in the radio settings and it worked, see [https://lms-community.github.io/getting-started/migrate-from-uesr-de/].\\
But starting Oct 2024 the radio lost connection to LMS frequently, e.g. not when running but when re-activated after a day or so. A restart and/or factory reset made it work again. But next day it was disconnected again.\\
Example error: 
* Es konnte keine DHCP-Adresse für dieses Netzwerk ermittelt werden
* Ping LMS nicht ok
BTW: Deactivating following did NOT help: FritzBox > Hilfe und Info > FRITZ!Box Support > Paketbeschleunigung inaktiv\\
=> If you connected your Lyrion server via IP address, make sure the server is keeping the same address (in FritzBox enable "IPv4-Adresse dauerhaft zuweisen")
=> long pressing back button
\\
Check listening ports at PI5 (server), make sure 9000,9090 and 3483 are ok

You can control many setting at the radio from the LMS.\\
For example WebUI > Settings > Advanced > Logging > set "network.upnp" to "Info" > Apply > "Save logging settings for use at next
application restart" > Restart

Connect via SSH

# Enable SSH at radio at Settings > Advanced > Remote Login > Enable SSH

Here you see that we have still issues with the old server and this is why you should upgrade your radio to the "community 

!Community Firmware on Squeezebox Radio
I summarized the instructions from [Lyrion Community and memeber rojikewl|https://forums.slimdevices.com/forum/user-forums/3rd-party-software/1699666-how-and-why-to-install-the-community-firmware-step-by-step] (I am afraid to loose this):

# Applicable for LMS version 8.5.1 or higher
# Use power cable and ethernet connection to avoid issues!
# Connect Squeezebox Radio via Ethernet at Settings > Advanced > Networking > Choose Network > Ethernet
# Factory reset your radio to clean up patches at Settings > Advanced > Restore Factory Settings
# Open LMS web interface > Settings > Manage plugins > 3rd party plugins > Tick "Community Firmware for Touch/Radio/Controller" > Restart
# Refresh the LMS Settings browser page after restart finished. Check > Manage plugins > __Active plugins__ > Community Firmware for Touch/Radio/Controller
# Activate the community firmware plugin, e.g. send to player >
## On the far right of the line where you see "Community Firmware for Touch/Radio/Controller", click on the "Settings" hyperlink
## Tick the box where you see "Community Firmware for SqueezeBox Touch/Radio/Controller. This firmware (...). Use at your own risk!" > Apply
## Confirm at the radio to install it
# You now have the latest firmware on your radio (8.5.0 r16xxx) and it will inform you about updates now, at least after restart
# You can also check for updates yourself at Radio > Settings > Advanced > Software Update
# Set timezone at Settings > Advanced > Timezone.
# On issues restart first LMS and then your player, then try factory reset (this does not affect firmware)
NOTE: to restore the factory firmware untick the box in the settings for the Community Firmware plugin to and Settings > Advanced > Software update.

After that I had no issues any longer with connection loss!
