The instructions for "Scanner Box" say 1. To install Scanner Box you must have a Logitech Media Server up and running. So if Logitech is making changes, wondering if this would affect the function of the Scanner Box app. I stream an audio channel and use the Scanner Box app to monitor my stream. I have added two more Squeeze Boxes for other monitoring. Hopefully the change will only affect the commercial radio stations.

Is the Media Server access from Logitech going to affect my Broadcastify monitoring with a Squeeze Box and "Scanner Box" app?

"In January 2024 Logitech announced that they will close down their online server at mysqueezebox.com in February 2024"

use "cloud" based $#!+, expect it to go away at the whim of the "cloud" operator.

I'm not sure what "internet radio tuners" work without a cloud service, I usually build such appliances out of a Pi or NUC.

All three of my Logitech Squeeze boxes will not connect to wifi at all, just started yesterday.

Have you attempted to contact them through the forum?

I originally contacted them to blow off some steam, and see if they had better options than what they had two months ago. The posters there (volunteers) have been working on options to help. I’m surprised to say they I’ve actually improved my streaming experience using an Android-based version of their server applied to a phone I no longer use, and is also a player as my all-in-one solution. No more cloud, as it should be.
