• When you click the Shutdown Machine button above, the browser will re-direct to the snakeoil website after 5 seconds.
  

• Changed the button colour (to the snake oil drop colour)
  
• Changed all references of register to activate
  
• Make some cosmetic changes to the user interface
  
• For people who has activated their snakeoil machine, you now have the ability to adjust kernel boot up options.
  
  

• Model : shows '60' while my processor is an i5 4460T
  

• CPU MHz : Not sure if this has been done on purpose but this item  shows default amount of MHz instead of actual. I have clocked down my processor to 1200 MHz (fixed). However it shows 1900 MHz.
  

• Button 'Shut down machine' only seem to logoff but doesn't really shut down my machine like windows does.
  

• Priority:  would be nice to have some guidelines what processes may be adapted to get better performance.
  

• Boot options: would be nice to know what these options offer (as already stated by yourself this topic will be expanded on the help page later on).

First quick impression is that the setup also improved stability.

I am running Snakeoil entirely from RAM (incl. persistent) and was able to update the firmware without any problem on my usb stick.
It seems that the firmware automatically pre-selects the correct 'generic-usb'version of the bootkernel. As I am using an i5 processor and an USB DAC I assume this is indeed the best kernel for my configuration. However after restarting the 'Home' tab shows that my kernel is still "4.4.4-rt11-snakeoil". Does this mean the kernel has not been updated?

I will do that soon. Be careful with using them atm as some of the settings may crash the kernel. But all is recoverable if you connect a keyboard/monitor to the Snakeoil machine, I will write up on how to fix that if it happens.

 Thanks for your hard work!

If you can give me some guidance what I should do to to copy the kernel to the Snakeoil USB stick I might be able to do that myself. This will then also give me the opportunitiy to do this with future kernel updates as well. :-)

P.S. The 4.4.4-rt11 with USB is indeed the version I would like to have

I have spend some time testing the new snakeoil-0.1.4-pre-release-20160515 firmware running the OS from RAM.
As far as I could find the MPD player works correctly.
The Squeezelite player however stops playing after changing the playlist on my android device (using Squeezer). After it has stopped I cannot get it to work anymore although the server is still up (in a sense that the webpage can still be accessed). Has something been changed in the firmware that may cause this? I don't remember I had this problem before.

It is also not possible anymore to start the 'Web Remote Control' when 'Start Squeezelite + LMS' has been selected. The message stated 'No LMS detected on network'. However it is still possible to control the LMS using an android app like Squeezer or Squeezebox

The setting 'Fixed volume' now works correct and stays switched on after restarting!

(21-May-2016, 10:14 AM)agent_kith Wrote: Hmm. That seem to suggest LMS has crashed. Do you have enough free disk spare allocated on the USB drive?

SSH in, and go into /var/log/logitechmediaserver (I think that's the path, could also be squeezeboxserver), and look at the logs, did it show any errors?
