1. Login to your VortexBox.

2. Remove current version of LMS. Enter

rpm -e --nodeps logitechmediaserver logitechmediaserver-CPAN logitechmediaserver-vendor logitechmediaserver-firmware-ip3k

3. Restore the LMS server.prefs file:

cp -a /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/prefs/server.prefs.rpmsave /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/prefs/server.prefs 

4. Install LMS 7.9 from Slim Devices nightly repository. Enter

yum install http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/7.9/sc/3f6bce4/logitechmediaserver-7.9.0-0.1.1466542684.noarch.rpm 

This is the currently nightly version as of June 21, 2016. If you install on a later date, pick up the current RedHat RPM package from http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/?ver=7.9. Copy and paste link to RedHat RPM in above “yum install” command.

5. Restart LMS:

systemctl start squeezeboxserver 

6. Check LMS status:

systemctl -l status squeezeboxserver 

7. If LMS is up and running, go to http:<vortexbox-ip>:9000 in your browser to get the LMS web page. 8. This version of LMS should have the “Don't Stop the Music” option on the LMS>Settings>Player pages. NOTE: If MusicIP plugin isn't working, just select it on the Settings→Plugins page, restart LMS and do a rescan so that it picks up the songs. Hat Tips to Forum Members Ron Olsen for Code and Treble101 for testing and finding MusicIP solution.
