Thanks it all seems to be working perfectly now and I have moved all playlists over from the old location. I did have to do a full rescan of the library as rescanning only playlists ended up with everything being duplicated.

Thanks. Is there a way to browse that or validate it somehow? Back on to the main issue here, but why is my playlists folder not working? I've tried changing the LMS settings to point to /config/playlists and that didn't work either... however I did not restart the docker for this change admittedly before testing. Ideas? Thanks!

Yes that is correct. Obviously something is up here as checking the logs I see: [20-05-24 22:04:19.6121] Slim::Formats::Playlists::Base::_filehandleFromNameOrString (87) Error: Could't open /music/Playlists/elbowTest6.m3u for writing. But the playlist is created and saved ready for the next time I start the server.

Sure I have no issues playing music. LMS used to work fine with the Playlists folder, and like I said I can still create and edit playlists, however I have no idea where they are saved as checking the server.log, LMS reports it doesn't have permissions to write to the specified playlist folder. BUT it is saving the playlist somewhere. Weird.

which memory leak? I'm completely new to Unifi and still in the process of setting everything up. I just need a neat solution with some cool things for me to play with but more importantly not to get shouted at from the wife because the wifi isn't working 😆

Thanks. Yes I have read the instructions you provided but thought I could just over ride this and point to my playlists folder which sits along side my music folder, e.g. /Music/Lossless /Music/Playlists So what you're saying is that I have to point the LMS config to the appdata/LMS/playlists folder now? I am still unclear where all these playlists have been saved though. I have created god knows how many temporary playlists and done a wildcard name search from the command line, zip, nada. Can't find a single one of them 😞 Cheers.

Any ideas here guys? I just want a stable WiFi platform so would mich rather be on the 5.9 branch or similar. Best way to downgrade? I presume I can’t export the site or settings to an earlier version?!? Thanks.

Any ideas here anyone?? This is driving me slightly crazy... the playlists are definitely persisted, but I have no idea where. They’re not in the specified playlist directory that I’ve set up, and they’re not in the docker appdata...

Many thanks for the insights. Now I have the controller settings correct hopefully and the docker back in bridge mode. couple of questions: How is the controller name used? Can I just put anything in here? Also, changing just the IP address and setting override inform wasn’t enough, I also had to set the L2 layer discoverability. What exactly does this do? One final thing, sorry it’s a lot of questions but it’s a lot to take in, but I’ve noticed I seem to be on the latest branch which by all accounts is not super stable. Is there an easy way to recreate the docker with the 5.9 branch enabled without having to redo everything? thanks!

I, as with it seems many here, have the same adopt loop issue. I’ve manually set the inform via ssh and it only seems to work for a few days. I’ve now set this docker to host and everything so far seems fine. However I only fire up my server when required, what are the negatives to running it always in host mode?

What permissions do I need on the playlists directory? I've created some playlists but they are not stored where I believe they should be, in fact I can't find them at all! Any ideas where they could be? They must be persisted somewhere on disk as they survive a reboot... EDIT I checked here appdata/LogitechMediaServer/Playlist and found nothing... Weird.

Also if you're on windows there is a lovely little PWA wrapper called squeezlite-x that has some nice desktop integration stuff like notifications etc.... https://www.microsoft.com/de-de/p/squeezelite-x/9pbhmtnp9037#activetab=pivot:overviewtab Here's the support thread: https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?108550-Announce-Squeezelite-X Have fun.

Just my 2 cents on the controller front. If using iOS, iPeng is definitely worth it. For Android I think the options are pretty miserable TBH and no where near as polished as iPeng. I used Squeezer for a while and was reasonably impressed. Then I bought Orange Squeeze and IMO it is not that great... maybe a little bit better than Squeezer but not worth the asking price IMO. However my tip is to install the Material theme/skin for LMS and then point your Chrome browser to that. It has a wonderful responsive design so works equally well on a desktop as on a mobile device. You can get chrome on Android to create a nice little icon and place it on your homescreen, which will then open a chrome-less (app like) experience. Very nice indeed 🙂

Trying to download again but it’s just hanging... I have to say the whole update process isn’t very stable in my opinion. Now I’m in a situation where I have no idea if it’s actually doing something or not. Also I turn my server off after using it. Each time I have to check for new versions, I.e. it doesn’t persist when I’ve already checked, there is a new version but I’ve not downloaded it. Seems like an obvious thing to fix or check for updates quickly on boot?

Thanks. I tried the root=sda option, and no luck. I copied the contents of the backed-up "previous" folder and now it is back to normal.

Have recreated the flash drive and this issue still persists. How can this happen? How can I roll back? Never had any issues with Unraid updates till this one.

Thanks for the advice. This unfortunately lead to the next problem...

Here you go, live from the technik room...

Hello. Unfortunately after upgrading from the last stable version 6.7 I believe, I can no longer reach the server at all. Putty won’t connect... it appears the server is not being allocated an IP address by my router. I did have issues doing the upgrade and had to try 3 times in order to get the process through. See pic for where it got stuck.

Quick question regarding file names and directories with non-standard characters. So previously I would copy files to my server using a Windows laptop and everything worked fine. I've recently started using this Docker to take transfer some large files from a USB stick mounted with dlandons plugin. Using Krusader I just want to move things between 2 open file explorer windows. I've found if the file name or directory includes things like ' (a single quote) the file name gets borked. Now I've seen this before between windows/unix and can't remember the fix. Any ideas guys? Thanks.

Ok then try hosted. I will check tonight but I'm pretty certain that the docker default needed to be changed in order to work for it to work correctly

I have used the plugin successfully. You need to put the docker image in to Bridge mode I believe... then the players will show up when you do the scan on the settings page for the plugin.

I want to backup a load of photos to my server and then run a user script, that based on the exif tags, will move photos into various photos. I wonder if this is possible using some sort of exif reader? Any ideas guys? Thanks.

Any ideas about this log snippet I keep getting emailed to me for some reason?? Subject: cron for user root /usr/bin/run-parts /etc/cron.hourly 1> /dev/null Body: /etc/cron.hourly/user.script.start.hourly.sh: line 2: 39834 Bus error /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/user.scripts/startSchedule.php hourly

Done. Can a user script that is running in the background be aborted? Thanks.
