You can control access to your music collection by pointing your web
browser to http://localhost:9000/, and then choosing:
Server Settings -> Security
Note on upgrade to 8.2:
Older slim devices have a bug where they will not see 8.2 as newer than 7.9
and will prompt you to update, there is a patch for this that must be
installed BEFORE upgrading the logitechmediaserver to 8.x.
To install the patch:
1. Go to Settings/Advanced/Applet Instlaler and UNCHECK Recommended Applets Only
2. Go to Settings/Advanced/Applet Installer and install "PatchInstaller"
3. Go to Settings/Advanced/Patch Installer and install "Version Comparison Fix"
Additionally, after installation you can install the plugin
"Community Firmware for Touch/Radio/Controller" on LMS and get newer firmware
for your devices!
Upgrading from Logitech Media Server 8.5.x
By default Lyrion Music Server expects to find its information in
/var/db/lyrionmusicserver (not /var/db/logitechmediasever). If you
wish to continue to use the same configuration, you can rebuild the
port with setting the SLIMDBDIR variable.

audio/lyrionmusicserver: Update 9.0.3 => 9.1.0
Changelog:
https://github.com/LMS-Community/slimserver/blob/9.1.0/Changelog9.html
Also unbreaks lyrionmusicserver from hanging indefinitely on
15.0-RELEASE and above. The culprit seems to be in one of the Perl
modules from the ports collection (but I don't know which one). For
now, I've gone back to the vendor version of modules (except for
p5-EV) until I can investigate more. This at least makes the server
work again on FreeBSD 14 and 15.
Improve port:
- Fix warnings from portclippy.
- Remove unused dependencies from gettext and libgd. (Only the first 15 lines of the commit message are shown above  ) |

audio/logitechmediaserver: 8.5.2 -> 9.0.3, rename to audio/lyrionmusicserver
- With version 9, the project gets a new name.
The basics are mostly the same.
- non-GPL firmware/files have been removed, so package can now
be redistributed (result of discussions with Lyrion community)
- Many perl5 ports are now used, instead of vendor ports
- Some are left from the vendor code, which are not part of the p5 ports
- removing the plugins as they are unmaintained and maintainer is not sure
the plugins worked with 8.5.2, anyway
