Squeezebox Server 7.9.1 for VortexBox

[garym]

You have the latest vortexbox version of LMS. Same as I have (and I have VB 2.4). But you can have latest LMS on either 2.3 or 2.4.

But no, dnf update won't turn 2.3 into 2.4. You have to do a install from scratch, including copying back your music files. See:

I released Squeezebox Server 7.9.1 for VortexBox 2.4 and also 2.3

This will get everybody the latest features and also the ability to run the new Spotify plug-in

Upgrade your box and test!

Sorry if this is a silly question, but to upgrade on VB 2.4, is it just a case of running the "dnf clean all; dnf update" command?

I have run this command a number of times over the last week and my LMS version is showing as:

"Logitech Media Server Version: 7.9.1 - 0.152.20170613git1496913376 @ Tue Jun 13 20:15:45 EDT 2017".

Is this the version that should be showing? I don't need the Spotify plug-in, but I do like to have the latest LMS version.

Thanks.

Thanks, Andrew. Interesting. garym and others on the slimdevices forums have reported that the new Spotty plug-in does not work on Vortexbox 2.3, even if updated to LMS 7.9.1, and that instead it will only run on VB 2.4. See, for example, here.

Has anyone successfully run the new Spotty plug-in on Vortexbox 2.3? Please respond if you have.

Thanks.

Cheers.

As you note, I couldn't get the spotty plugin to work on 3 different VB 2.3 installs, all running LMS 7.9.1. Installing VB 2.4 made spotty work. Michael, the lms engineer, seems to think it has something to do with VB2.3 being a 32bit program and the spotty plugin won't work properly on it. Of course VB2.4 is 64 bit.
