Logitech Media Server on Synology with Docker

Updating Logitech Media Server (LMS) from the v7.9.1 app on a Synology DS 2012+ to a recent version running in a Docker container on a Synology DS 220+

Patch Squeezebox Radio to connect to LMS v8+

The Squeezebox Radio firmware needs to be patched, in order to connect to a LMS v8+. See the slimserver repo:

Unfortunately the latest Squeezebox Radio firmware (7.7.3) comes with a bug which prevents it from connecting correctly to Logitech Media Server 8+. It's version string comparison function fails to recognize 8.0.0 as more recent than 7.7.3. While the bug has been fixed years ago, the fixed firmware never got released. Unfortunately we're at this point not able to build a fixed firmware for distribution.

But there's a patch available, which you can easily install on an existing SB Radio:

  • On the Radio go to Settings/Advanced/Applet Installer. Make sure "Recommended Applets Only" is unchecked, then install the Patch Installer. The Radio will re-boot.
  • Once it's back, go to Settings/Advanced/Patch Installer and install the "Version Comparison Fix".
