Any chance for a newer version of LMS?

[radishSB]

bart - Many thanks for the tip!
garym - Thanks for taking the first plunge!

Like garym I needed the following to succeed:

rpm -e --nodeps logitechmediaserver
rpm -e --nodeps logitechmediaserver-CPAN
rpm -e --nodeps logitechmediaserver-vendor
rpm -e --nodeps logitechmediaserver-firmware-ip3k

dnf install logitechmediaserver


After doing so, I now show:

Logitech Media Server Version: 7.9.1 - 0.7.20180404git1522249619 @ Mon May 14 10:51:59 EDT 2018

Things appear to be working well, although I may need to do a little tinkering.

Bart - another thank you for your hint at the other thread.
The following commands were necessary in my case:

rpm -e --nodeps logitechmediaserver
rpm -e --nodeps logitechmediaserver-CPAN
rpm -e --nodeps logitechmediaserver-vendor
rpm -e --nodeps logitechmediaserver-firmware-ip3k
dnf install logitechmediaserver

My VB is now running the May 14 version of LMS.

I just updated another of my Vortexboxes. To save 100 percent of settings I did this:

systemctl stop squeezeboxserver # Stop LMS

Then go to:
/var/lib/squeezeboxserver/prefs

copy the contents of that directory to a temporary location on your computer (in my case, my windows laptop).

Then use the procedure discussed above:

rpm -e --nodeps logitechmediaserver
rpm -e --nodeps logitechmediaserver-CPAN
rpm -e --nodeps logitechmediaserver-vendor
rpm -e --nodeps logitechmediaserver-firmware-ip3k
dnf install logitechmediaserver

Then

systemctl stop squeezeboxserver # Stop LMS

Then paste the contents of the temporary directory you copied earlier back to that location on the vortexbox:
/var/lib/squeezeboxserver/prefs

Then

systemctl start squeezeboxserver # Start LMS

At this point, you can use LMS and it will be the May 2018 version with all your settings intact.
