The newest version of squeezelite-win.exe (1.9.7-1259) now has 32-bit and 64-bit versions and other improvements, but does not support the Windows Media format. This is not an issue if your LMS server is configured to play WMA files (e.g. hosting LMS on Windows or using bps's Play WMA plugin), at least as I understand it. ralphy (squeezelite-win author) is telling me that version 1.9.6-1210 is all there will be going forward for WMA support in squeezelite due to old code issues, since he has upgraded his development system and libraries.
As for me, configuring my LMS server running on a Max2Play R-Pi using bpa's plugin has been a failure. bpa's Play WMA plugin requires mplayer-nogui to be installed on the R-Pi and I am unable to do that. ralphy suggested I install ffmpeg on the pi and then use a custom .conf file to let ffmpeg convert, but I have been unable to get that to work either. So this appears hard in some cases. (My windows server works just fine, btw.) Since SLX is supposed to be "easy" and, after all, is a Windows Store app, playing WMA files should be easy. So what to do? I could just stay on 1.9.6-1210 forever. Or, I could integrate both 1.9.6-1210 and whatever the newest version is and let the operator select. 30665 Not sure I like this approach all that much, though I do have it working. Anyone have any better ideas?
