Updating Logitech Media Server to 7.9

It looks like the version of Logitech Media Server (LMS) that installs from the dashboard is several versions old (7.7.2). Does anyone know if it’s possible to update LMS to 7.9 by using the “install an app manually” and installing one of the packages at LMS 7.9? If so, which package would be appropriate for the PR2100/PR4100?

I couldn’t find a changelog that included dates, but it appears that the lastest stable version is 7.7.6 (quite a bit has changed since 7.7.2), however the preview branch (7.9.x) has progressed even further (so many name changes!)

Unfortunately, none of the builds linked are for WD products. However, you aren’t without hope. @Tfl is spearheading a conversion of SynoCommunity packages, which is currently building the latest version, 7.9.2. If there is enough requests/interest in having the latest version as a native app, that might bump up its priority.

You can also download/install the latest Docker package from this forum and then run a container such as larsks/logitech-media-server. Running Docker is great because if there is software that you are thinking about running, then there is a good chance someone has precompiled an image.
