!!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.

!Prepare PI5
I followed more or less [StepByStep Instructions by Harald Kreuzer|https://www.haraldkreuzer.net/aktuelles/logitech-media-server-auf-dem-raspberry-pi-4b-mit-5-zoll-display-installieren] to install on my PI5

! 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 this did NOT help: FritzBox > Hilfe und Info > FRITZ!Box Support > Paketbeschleunigung inaktiv\\
\\
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

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

!Comunity Firmware on Squeezebox Radio
I summarized the instruction from the [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 LMV 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
## Conirm at the radio to install it
# You now have the latest firmwar on your radio and it will inform you about updates now, at least after restart

r16941 was available for installation. If you don't see a message to 
this effect, you can check whether the community firmware is available 
by navigating the Radio's menu: Settings > Advanced > Software 
Update. If the community firmware is not yet available to your player, 
you will still see a message saying that your software (meaning your 
firmware) is up to date and asking if you would like to reinstall it. 
When you do install the community firmware, your player's screen will 
show the progress as your player downloads and installs it. In my case 
it took a few minutes at most, and my Radios were playing again in no 
time. \\ 
 \\ 
9. Congratulations. You have finished installing the community firmware.
 Now check your time zone: Settings > Advanced > Timezone. My 
Radios showed the wrong time until I specified my time zone. Your 
favorites and apps should be available on your player, since they are 
stored in LMS. If you had modified the menu on your player, you will 
have to make those modifications again. For example, if you use the jog 
dial to long-press on a menu item, you will see options for moving or 
hiding it. \\ 
 \\ 
10. If you experience any issues, restart first LMS and then your 
player. If this doesn't help, try doing another factory reset on your 
player, especially if you did not do one before installing the community
 firmware. This will not affect the firmware; it will simply restore 
your player to a "clean" state for its current firmware. Most issues 
reported so far have been temporary. \\ 
 \\ 
NOTE: Should you wish to restore the factory firmware for any reason, 
you can do so by unticking the box in the settings for the Community 
Firmware plugin to deactivate it (reversing what you did in step 7 
above) and restarting first LMS and then your player. You should then 
see the option to install the factory firmware in your player's menu: 
Settings > Advanced > Software update.
