Hi,

I'm a newbie with a newbie question.** I am sure the subject has been discussed already, if so kindly direct me to past forums.

I just created a VB out of an old pc...

Thanks Ron,

As I understand it, the upgrade icon or the Command Line methods of upgrading VortexBox do not upgrade the Linux operating system, just the VB and LMS code.

If that is correct, do...

bayard1music,

I also want to wait for LMS 7.7.1 to be released and supported by Andrew. *I had the scanning problem and generally sluggish performance.

I believe that the problems I have with update to Squeezebox Duet version 7.7.0 are related to IP address. *I had all five controllers setup for years with fixed IP addresses, and those have stayed...

rgro, firedog, & Ron,

Thanks so much for the links and ideas. *The Onkyo does use Audyssey processing, and I had not thought of the re-conversion of analog to digital that processing causes.

Squeezeslave does not use MPD.

You'll have to use VortexBox Player if you want to use MPD and MPDroid.

Hi,

I just noticed the MPDroid now supports VortexBox local cover art*in Recent Posts (June 2011) and decided go give it a try on a Galaxy Tab 10.1. *When MPDroid reported, "Connection to...

Having read several posts about upgrading to VB2 I seem to have reached the conclusion that this will never be available by the GUI and therefore I will probably leave my machine on...

Ron,

I understand that cover art is not being retrieved for newly ripped CDs because Amazon changed their API and VB's existing Cover Grabber fails. *I thought that has been fixed for VB version...

Ron,

Thanks again for your clear and complete explanation. *I had missed that an update from the command line doesn't require restoring any data. *I will make a new data backup before I update...

The issue is the settings for...
