I used to use a second instance of LMS - one on the NAS, one on a linux box. It worked well, but you needed to split the squeezeboxes between servers, and then couldn't sync players across servers. It was also a bit buggy when changing a player from one server to the other.
I was playing with Docker for the second instance when Spotify changed the Family plan to allow 6 streams. This changed everything. It was then I looked into what Mika had done, creating a second instance on the same server. This has the benefit of having all the Squeezeboxes connected to the one server. This allows syncing between all players. It also allows playing tracks from various Spotify accounts. My kids can play a few tracks off one playlist, then a few off another playlist from another account. I packaged up multiple instances named for each member of my family to provide Squeezebox and Spotify bliss in our house. I then made this more generic and created 6 instance named SpotifyFamily1 through SpotifyFamily6 and hosted them on some spare web space I have for anyone to use. Currently only Linux, but looking into Windows and Mac now. https://richiezed.com/squeezefamily/ Hopefully it frees somebody else from tween music also! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ RichieZed's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=65814 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102671 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
