Squeezebox Server 7.9.1 for VortexBox

[davem]

Yes, just hit the upgrade button (v2.3 and v2.4)

[MikeDC]

Can one update directly from 7.8 to 7.9.1? Do you just use the Vortex Upgrade option in the user-interface? Thank you!

That's a good one. Only a few small changes between that one and head.

Andrew, I just ran a 'DNF Update' and I still show that the version of LMS 7.9.1 is dated Tuesday 6/13/2017. Is this the latest version that you supplied? From your response I would have expected a later version.

Thanks, Bill

I did the same dnf update and have the 6/13/2017 version of 7.9.1 as well. I too was expecting a newer version.

[Mr. Bill]

The latest is in there.

I've not seen the reports you mention where people have had it working on 2.3.

I was pretty sure that I saw some positive reports regarding VB 2.3. Now, I could find it. It means that the only way is hardware upgrade

In my case Spotty plugin seems to be working - I see it on the plugin list and the setting for Spotty as well in LMS 7.9.1, but when I open Spotify app I don't have option to authorize Spotty.
I'm on VB 2.3. Can't update to 2.4 as mobo is 32bit only, but some people reported that it works fine on 2.3.
Any idea guys?

That's exactly the outcome I had when installing on several 2.3 setups. It was only updating to VB 2.4 that allowed me to complete the setup (with spotty authorization). I've seen lots of reports that won't work on 2.3 (including my own). I've not seen the reports you mention where people have had it working on 2.3.

Andrew, is it possible to update the version of LMS 7.9.1 in the repository? Michael has fixed a few issues with the Spotty plugin in releases after August, 9. Thanks.

I agree. Thanks.

The Update icon or dnf command will give you the latest LMS that Andrew has made available. It may be current, but it's not the nightly build. If you want the nightly or a different version from that provided by the VB update, then you you need to remove then VB version and download from the LMS beta download site. If you do this, you can no longer update VB from the GUI but must use the command line to avoid reverting to the VB version of LMS.
Keep in mind that the "latest" LMS is not clearly defined. There is an official Logitech release, a released version of 7.9, Andrew's release of 7.9.1, and the nightly builds of 7.9.1.

Thank you for that clarification.

I think I will keep with the LMS updates that Andrew makes available.

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:

http://wiki.vortexbox.org/installation_guide

Thank you for your reply, but I think you may have misunderstood me, and if I didn't explain myself clearly I apologize.

I already have 2.4 installed, I just want to make sure I always have the latest version of LMS on it and was just wondering if the dnf command does this or whether there is a specific procedure.

From what you have said in your reply it appears I have the latest LMS.
