Under no circumstances may the USB interface be extended with a USB hub.
•
We recommend that you do not use more than two USB sticks with a capacity of 16 GB each.
•
As soon as a USB stick is connected, the Logitech Media Server requires several minutes to
scan it. The duration of the scanning process depends not only on whether you have
connected one or two USB sticks, but also on the storage capacity of the individual USB
stick, what format the audio files have (wave or mp3) and how many playlists are stored on
the stick. A cover has a crucial influence on this duration. If each audio file in each folder
has its own cover, this will prolong the scanning process significantly. If there are two USB
sticks with a capacity of 16 GB each, the scanning process will take 20 minutes on average.
•
The storage location for the playlist shall not be modified!
•
As soon as a USB stick has been removed the audio files can no longer be played and must
be rescanned the next time the stick is connected.
To ascertain how far the scanning process has progressed, click on “Settings” in the Logitech Media
Server web interface (low-righ on the webpage).
Now click on the last tab, “Information”

Please do not play any music files during the scanning process, as this could overload the CPU and
cause the scan to start again from the beginning.
Once the LMS has scanned all the audio files they can be played back.
