How to access Logitech Media Server once it has been installed<\/b><\/u><\/p>\n
Once Logitech Media Server has finished downloading and installing, you can launch Logitech Media Server by typing http:\/\/MyMediaServer:9000<\/a> into the address bar of your browser where MyMedia Server is the name you gave your server when you installed Ubuntu. The IP address of your server will work as well if you can’t remember your server name.<\/p>\n
The first time you launch Logitech MediaServer you’ll be asked a series of questions (e.g. where your music is stored and where you keep your playlists etc). Just follow the prompts and you should be good to go.<\/p>\n
Where is the Logitech Media Server log stored?<\/b><\/u><\/p>\n
If you ever need to consult the main log file then it can be found in \/var\/log\/squeezeboxserver\/server.log<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
How to start and stop Logitech Media Server<\/b><\/u><\/p>\n
When you change settings in the Logitech Media Server web GUI you’re sometimes informed that “the settings will become effective the next time you restart Logitech Media Server”. With previous versions you had to do this manually. With this new version you are given the opportunity to perform the restart using the GUI.<\/p>\n
If you ever wish to restart Logitech Media Server using the shell, use the following command:<\/p>\n
root@ganymede:~# service logitechmediaserver restart\r\nRestarting squeezeboxserver.<\/pre>\n
If you want to stop Logitech Media Server for any reason then use stop<\/strong> instead of restart<\/strong> in the command above. To start the service again use start<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
