Note for those who use TIDAL, Pandora, and Deezer via LMS

[Brantome]

Please ignore this if you don’t use LMS!

Looks like the above services will no longer be accessible via LMS due to the decision by Logitech to closedown the UESmartRadio.com and MySqueezebox.com servers as per the link below. Note that this won’t impact your use of these services thru the WiiM Home app, nor indeed other services like Qobuz that can still integrate with LMS.

Qobuz and Spotify will still work as will BBC Sounds, Radio Paradise and loads of Internet Radio Stations. The big loss is Tidal but it would not surprise me if a new LMS plugin appeared for this quite soon. I say this with no certainty though.

As an aside, has Music&Artist Info/Radio Now Playing stopped working for you today? The former seems ok for my music and perhaps Qobuz, but when I was listening to Greatest Hits Radio this morning it stopped refreshing on a new track, and I couldn’t get it working again, even when switching to Radio Paradise. I think the Material Skin and UPNPBridge plugins updated this morning, but I can’t see anything in the log as to when other plugins might have been updated recently.

It's a lot easier now that they've finally published their API. Used to have to search for an API key on the web, now you can generate one easily. Pretty simple API, I've used it with Python, though I won't be writing an LMS plugin, as I'm allergic to PERL.

Both working fine for me

Thanks, back to the log then and googling anything that looks untoward. Or restoring from my last backup, whenever that was…

I'm glad you put that at the top - it clarified / corrected the punctuation in the thread title
Consider it ignored!

Well, given the title of this subforum, I guess context helps

Ignore the Oxford (or simply typo) comma too…

Yeah, the only time I even look at the subforum headings is the rare occasion I start a thread!
But point taken!!

An update on this.

1. Logitech have extended the life of mysqueezebox.com until 19th March but the service will be switched off on that date.
2. Some very clever souls have already implemented local LMS plugins for Tidal, Pandora and Deezer meaning that these services can continue to be used with LMS.

If you are a relative newcomer to LMS via the use of a WiiM and a subscriber to one of Tidal, Deezer or Pandora the only thing to worry about is installing the correct local plugin and dispensing with the version from mysqueezebox.com. You do this by signing out of the service at mysqueezebox.com then install the new local plugins which you will find in Third Party Plugins in LMS settings.

Great news although hires seems to be limited to 48 kHz.

What is this LMS ?

 

[Brantome]

Logitech Media Server. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logitech_Media_Server and the Squeezelite subforum here https://forum.wiimhome.com/forums/squeezelite.48/

The WiiM Pro, Plus and Amp have Squeezelite client software to allow LMS to play to them, while LMS can also play to a WiiM Mini using an LMS plugin.

This means that soon Deezer will not work on wiim pro plus ?

If you’re not using LMS, then Deezer is not impacted and will work as usual on WiiM devices. If you do use LMS, a new(er) Deezer plugin will still support Deezer, so again it will still work.
