I installed WINE version 4.0.2 on my laptop, following the directions here, for Ubuntu 16.04: https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu Assuming I am in the folder where Squeezelite-X has been placed, I start the Windows version of Squeezelite using the command: WINE ./SQUEEZELITE-WIN.EXE -S 192.168.XXX.XXX -O 2 -N SQUEEZELITE-X I start SqueezeliteX.exe separately. If I try to enable the local player via SqueezeliteX, then the player aborts on startup. For a reason I don't understand, when SLX tries to start the player, it does not understand the output device I have specified, but on the command line - it works fine. Strange. I can see a list of audio output devices using Squeezelite-wine.exe -l, and I get: Output devices: 2 - Wine Sound Mapper - Output [MME] 3 - Pulseaudio [MME] 6 - Primary Sound Driver [Windows DirectSound] 7 - Pulseaudio [Windows DirectSound] 9 - Pulseaudio [Windows WASAPI] In the past I worked on a Win32 application, a Network Management System GUI, which came with the equipment my company manufactured. It was about 75,000 lines of multi-threaded C++, and I found while doing development, that the best way to debug it, was to run the whole thing in WINE on Linux! If it worked there, then it just worked, and looked exactly correct, in Win 7, 8.???, 10, etc. If I didn't do that, then weird differences would begin creeping in between the different versions of Windows, that the MS Win Manager would not tell me about. WINE does not permit the rules to be broken, or bent very far. Ironic - I found it to be one of my best tools doing Win32 development:) -Ron *Living Room:* SB Touch + DIY PSU > CI Audio VDA.2 DAC + VAC.1 PSU > VRX.1 cables > Emotiva XSP-1 Gen 2 preamp + XPA-DR2 amp > Blue Jeans cables > B&W 804 speakers *Laptop:* System76 Galago + Ubuntu 16.04 + Squeezelite + Material Skin > ifi USB iSilencer > Audirect Beam DAC > Senn IE 80 earbuds *Bedroom:* Android Phone + SB Player + Squeeze Ctrl > Bluetooth > Bose SoundLink Revolve *Server:* Puget Systems Serenity + Ubuntu 18.04 + LMS 7.9.2 *Music:* Personal FLAC, Radio Paradise FLAC, Qobuz, Spotify ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ron F.'s Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5616 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109624 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
