Original problem: on QNAP running LMS v8.3, all my nice wireless Chromecast Speakers disappeared after months of working perfectly. Network was fine. Same Chromecast speakers worked from my iPhone using VLC on the same network. After mistakenly --> [ERASE] the config file in the Chromecast Bridge plugin GUI, could not restore the missing Chromecast Bridge config file = castbridge.xml on the QNAP LMS server and the plugin's [GENERATE] button did not create a new castbridge.xml file either. Hoped by installing the newest dev version of Chromecast Bridge over older version v1.82(?) I would be able to recreate the castbridge.xml file correctly. Established the new repository to dev version of Chromecast Bridge plugin ..... [x] check ! Installed the new dev Chromecast Bridge plugin (v2.0.6.3) ..... [x] check ! LMS was running with Chromecast Bridge config settings page visible in GUI interface .... [x] check ! Still no castbridge.xml file visible when --> [VIEW] button, throws error message "missing config file" ...dang. Still no castbridge.xml file created when --> [GENERATE] button. SSH into /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/LogitechMediaServer/SlimServer/prefs confirms castbridge.xml file is missing. Decided to manually create the castbridge.xml file as a pure text file from the Chromecast Bridge Help file example of a castbridge.xml file. Result my Chromecast Bridge plugin is broken and not displaying the settings config page at all. All these steps listed also included multiple LMS server restarts, [APPLY] buttons, rebooting the QNAP NAS ..etc. Nothing restores the Chromecast Bridge functionally ... dang. Do not know how to downgrade Chromecast Bridge plugin from the dev v2.0.6.3 back to v1.82-ish ??? Have using the LMS Settings Plugins GUI to remove plugin, but it only installs non-functioning (for me) new dev version and I lack the LMS experience to force reinstall of the older plugin version. Hope this information helps another user with a similar missing Chromecast Bridge "castbridge.xml" config file and they toss me a life preserver, because I am stuck on this island with no LMS-server access to my Chromecast wireless speakers. -- thanks for any suggestions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mark-in-seattle's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12034 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104614 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
