Hey Snoopy. I notice that LMS 8.1.x is now out but the latest container image from your repository seems to be on 8.0.1. Is this something we can manually update or do you have to create a new image? Thanks.

Try to update container. You should see latest version 8.2.

[ctrlbreak]

Force update sorted it - now 8.2.0 TRUNK. Odd that it wasn't showing an update available in docker. Thanks!

I just did a fresh install of the emoncms docker. I changed no settings. I get this error. What do I need to change? Cheers.

 

Can't connect to database, please verify credentials/configuration in settings.ini
Error message: No such file or directory

[al_uk]

I tried 127.0.0.1 in the MYSQL host parameter and the message changed to "Connection Refused". Does this Docker have mysql installed or do I need to connect to an external DB server? Cheers.

I'm hoping that someone can help figure this issue out.  I installed unRaid on a 2nd machine, and setup the LMS docker on it.  I have LMS running on my original machine, but was going to use this new one to offload dockers and items to create more space on the first yada, yada, and for other reasons.  Anyways, LMS docker has been running on my first machine without issues.  I've setup the new machine to match the old one in its configuration, LMS docker seems to start, but when I goto the WebUI, it is refusing to connect.  I've done all the usual browser cleanup, but the problem persists.  I've installed other dockers, like Plex and don't have any issues accessing them via their webUI...just LMS seems to be having an issue on this new machine.  I also noticed that the log file is reporting the following image repeatedly. Only the PID value increases.

 

I've uninstalled, and re-installed the docker plenty of times, but still having this issue.

 

Any idea what could be going on? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi.  Can we use Microsoft's RDP to connect to this container?  Mine produces an error.

Is your docker network type set to Host?

Also, check your permissions. I like you had an older install that worked - check my previous post a page back.

I now have it kinda working, connecting to a mariadb instance but I'm not able to do an update, and much of the left hand side menu is missing. Here's a couple of screenshots.

Hello everyone, new to the forum but using Unraid sinse 2017.

 

I´m also having the same issue reported previously by @Marbles_00 

Here is screen from the log i have ...

This is a infinite loop, and i see that the CPU is working on this process over and over...

 

I want to point out that the docker was working just fine before I just automate the update. I am not sure when it stopped working as i didnt use LMS lately, and sometime from the last time i used to date, I haven't been able to access the Web GUI. The log above is pretty much what I get whenever I try to turn the container on, even after a server reset.

 

I tried to force update LMS (Im on LogitechMediaServer latest -- brench), remove and reinstall LMS and no luck. I also tried to install the other LMS version (not the "latest" brench) and nothing :(. 

 

My network type is set to "host". Also the port 5353 (default) was conflicting with Plex so I changed it to 5354.

I tried to change the network type to Bridge, didnt work as well.

 

Doxdump replayed Marble_00 post asking to check the folder permission though i'm not sure how to do it, Im pretty good that following guides, though Im not a linux guy. 

 

Any idea how to sort this out?

 

All the best,

[Aderalia]

Hey,

Im trying to set up your ffmpeg container to encode into AV1, is that even possible?

I understand the Watch and Output Folders, but the other paramenters are giving me trouble.

What parameters would i have to use? the same as stand alone ffmpeg? But how would i specify a 2 Pass encode? What is the Copy folder for?

Just a tiny bit more documentation would be highly appreciated

[snoopy86]

You need to use standard FFmpeg parameters. For this docker is only important that you separate them with ; so it can parse it in the background correctly.

 

Couple examples:

1. -map 0;-vcodec libx264;-crf 17;-preset medium;-scodec copy;-acodec copy
2. -map 0;-vcodec copy;-scodec copy;-acodec ac3;-b:a 640k
3. -map 0:v;-map 0:a:1;-map 0:s:3;-c:v copy;-bsf:a dca_core;-c:a copy;-c:s copy

 

Copy folder was used to copy original file to it at the end of transcoding. Currently it is not being used.

[Aderalia]

2 Pass encoding happens in 2 steps, the ffmpeg command looks something like this:

 

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v libaom-av1 -b:v 2M -pass 1 -an -f null /dev/null && \
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v libaom-av1 -b:v 2M -pass 2 -c:a libopus output.mkv

You can't pass both the "pass 1" and "pass 2" flag in the same command as far as i know, since the second pass needs the log file created by the first pass to work.

[snoopy86]

No, this will not work in this docker.

looks like a new install is not setting the proper permissions:
 

root:root rwxrwxr-x /LogitechMediaServer-8.0/cache
root:root rwxrwxr-x /LogitechMediaServer-8.0/logs
root:root rwxrwxr-x /LogitechMediaServer-8.0/prefs

I have a working LMS on another unRAID. the same directories are set as:

users:nobody rwxr-xr-x /LogitechMediaServer-8.0/cache
users:nobody rwxr-xr-x /LogitechMediaServer-8.0/logs
users:nobody rwxr-xr-x /LogitechMediaServer-8.0/prefs

 

Once I set these on the new install, everything worked!

 

@xtrips@doxdump@flaxfoot@Marbles_00@Kavian

Despite running LMS for a long time, suddenly it wouldn't run anymore and saw the same errors in the log as several others posted.

 

2021-12-15 11:43:43,172 INFO success: squeezeboxserver entered RUNNING state, process has stayed up for > than 1 seconds (startsecs)
2021-12-15 11:43:45,020 INFO exited: squeezeboxserver (exit status 0; expected)
2021-12-15 11:43:46,032 INFO spawned: 'squeezeboxserver' with pid 331

 

I don't know if an update of the image triggered it, or me updating from 6.9.2 to 6.10.0-rc2.

Everyday I use LMS for my music so I went to this thread in search of a solution. It was there, but not really clear (for me), so here is what I did after a fresh install of the docker image through CA.

 

After the install, stop the container from running and change the permissions of the three directories (cache, logs, and prefs).

You can do this with WinSCP. Right-click the directory and change it accordingly:

Make it so that it says 0755. And don't forget to also tick Set group, owner, and permissions recursively.

 

drwxr-xr-x 1 nobody users  4096 Dec 15 21:26 cache/
drwxr-xr-x 1 nobody users    62 Dec 15 20:41 logs/
drwxr-xr-x 1 nobody users   139 Dec 16 14:38 prefs/
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root   root  34599 Dec 15 21:26 supervisord.log
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root   root      3 Dec 15 21:26 supervisord.pid

 

Now start the container and LMS should be good to go (give it some time on older hardware). By the way it should be run in HOST mode (change it under Network Type:).

 

Hope this helps to get people up and running again. I just love LMS, thanks @snoopy86 for keeping the image up to date!

Hi,

question for EMONCMS docker:

my Redis requires authentification. (bitnami docker with Container Variable: ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD
 set to NO). How do I modify emoncms container variables to make it work?

Not possible at the moment. I can only suggest that you use Redis docker from user jj9987. This is the one i'm using and it works ok with emoncms.

[sevenmp]

Hi there, need some help with the emoncms. I have it running well and inputs are received but when trying to feed them I get this error:

ERROR: Feed could not be created, could not write data file fopen(/var/opt/emoncms/phptimeseries/feed_15.MYD): failed to open stream: Permission denied 

 

Im not sure what permissions are missing or how to grant them. Can you please help?

[Boogie2005]

Hello, I have installed your Docker under UnRaid 6.10.3. I have specified the music share. Unfortunately I cannot reach the WebUI of the LMS. Is there a good howto so I can get the LMS set up?

[Boogie2005]

Hello, I will now ask again: What could be the reason that the LMS Docker is not accessible? I can see the IP and the port in Unraid. But the browser reports: Not reachable.

 

[sillywalks]

@snoopy86

Just updated to the latest version and LMS stopped working for me as well.

Before the update it was running without issues for ages.

 

I can start the container and it keeps running but I can't access the UI

I have changed the Docker. I now use the one from dlandon. It runs perfectly.

Thanks for posting this.  I just hit this after upgrading from 6.9.2 to 6.10.3 which likely confirms it's an issue with the upgrade to 6.10.x.  Following these steps fixed it for me.  I hit similar file permission issues in one other docker after upgrading to 6.10.3.

@Boogie2005 @sillywalks I suggest you try this out since it just worked for me.

Is anyone able to help me out sorting this one? For the life of me I cant seem to give the right permissions to the docker? I think this one runs on root so why am I getting permission denied?
