Logitech acquired Slim Devices in 2006, prior to which Logitech Media Server
was known as Squeezebox Server (version 7.4 to 7.6) and SlimServer (before 7.4).
===> The following configuration options are available for logitechmediaserver-8.5.2:
APE=on: Monkey's Audio lossless format support
DOCS=on: Build and/or install documentation
FAAD=on: FAAD AAC decoder support
FLAC=on: FLAC lossless audio codec support
LAME=off: LAME MP3 audio encoder support
SOX=on: Support OGG Vorbis input via SoX (SliMP3 and SB1)
TEST=on: Build and/or run tests
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
The 8.5.1 Server added a "Report Analytics Data plugin" that is
enabled by default and sends analytics some minutes after it is first
run. More information is available from the community.
https://lyrion.org/analytics/learn-more/
You can disable this, but it's recommended to keep on for help in
determing future support.
Note on security settings:
The slimserver service is wide open, and by default there is no password.
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!
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

audio/logitechmediaserver: make usable out of the box
Install slimserv.pl and scanner.pl with the executable bit set. The
former is required for the rc script to work.
Use @sample to install convert.conf and types.conf in
${PREFIX}/share/logitechmediaserver. Without these the server is
unable to convert music to send to the players and find music files
respectively.
Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.
Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)
Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

Deorbit RESTRICTED && NO_CDROM, part one.
