![]() On that drive are directories named Tracks and Playlists, so the two paths I'm giving LMS are: My music and playlist files are on a separate physical drive from the Linux sda, and its volume label is Music. I'm hoping there's a Squeezebox guru on this forum who can help me. But no error message! I'm guessing that LMS can't access my music &/or playlist files. But when I tell it (in Firefox) where my music tracks and playlists are, after entering the playlists path and clicking, the path entry field turns momentarily red, but the page doesn't progress to the next setup page. I run a number of Squeezebox 3s around the house, so have succeeded in installing a Linux version of Logitech Media Server (LMS), and started the service (with a little trouble). I think it's the permissions system that's killing me! Although currently the controls it exposes on the music player are a bit limited (no volume, mute etc.).Today I'm commissioning my just-built new PC, with a new first-time OS: Linux Mint! As a user for 32-years of CP/M, MS-DOS and Windows, I'm really struggling with Linux. I tried setting one up to test it and it works. It works and allows you to set auto-refresh but I would expect the album art will only render if you are accessing the dashboard from your home network. ![]() If you were able to stand up your own simple HTTP server and serve up a page that references that link but with a meta-refresh set, that might work. I can get that to appear on the Hubitat dashboard although there's no auto-refresh of the image currently. In terms of displaying the cover art, you can access the current cover art on your LAN using the following URL: You should be able to just add a player device as a music player to the dashboard to get music controls. What I really want to do is display album art and basic controls on the main dashboards This command takes a string which is a comma separated list of either player MACs (the device network ID) or player names and will then synchronise them all as a group with the master being the player the command is called on. This integration exposes some extra Player device commands specific to Squeezebox. If you have multiple players then they can generate quite a lot of log data so it is strongly recommended to deactivate the debug logging unless you need it to troubleshoot something for example. You can enable/disable debug logging in the Squeezebox Connect app preferences. The state of the player device is immediately updated when you make a change via Hubitat regardless of this setting. However, if you are just using Hubitat to control the players and don't need quick updates from external changes then a higher number is fine and will generate less network traffic. on a dashboard) or if you want to trigger rules from changes in player state then you should choose a low number of seconds for the refresh interval (2 is recommended). If you are displaying current player status based on the information in Hubitat (e.g. NB: The app only gets detailed information for players that are switched on but it does make a call to LMS after each interval. Installation of Squeezebox Connect can now be easily performed via the Hubitat Package Manager xap-code/hubitat/blob/master/squeezebox/README.md Squeezebox Integration for Hubitat
