OK so I did yum erase squeezeboxserver and yum ==enable-repo squeezecenter-release install logitechmediaserver
This worked (server is now 7.7.1) but the server is VERY unstable now, keeps crashing. The weird thing that the application is still called squeezeboxserver as is the service. I realised this when I tried to set the chown on the directories I have created.
Not sure what to look for wrt the unstable server.
