Re: [slim] does anyone still use squeezelite anymore instead of chromecast audio and if so why?
There's a SqueezeCC plugin isn't there? I see the thread, although I've yet to try it. Given that, I would rather use my CCs that way, with server software with which I am familiar, rather than start again with e.g. Plex. All depends on how good the SqueezeCC hookup is. cdmackay's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=24816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106113 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] does anyone still use squeezelite anymore instead of chromecast audio and if so why?
hey guys, for several years I was running RPI2s with hifiberry cards in them for syncd multi room using squeezelite primarily with Triodes Spotify plugin - the sync was never that great. Fro the last 4 months I've been running 9 x Chromecast audio - they work brilliantly and the integration into android is slick (along with the setup) and audio quality is brilliant. The sync over wifi is 100%, and it's trivial to group/re group audio zones etc, there are no audio drop outs at all. I must say I haven't looked back at all and even my family can operate the Chromecast audios so WAF is good (and CCs are cheap). With things like Plex (for local music libraries) supporting audio cast, what is the use case for the squeezebox ecosystem any more (just checking before I sell all my RPIs in case I've missed something). any thoughts? ashleyw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58923 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106113 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Spotify and Synchronization - testers needed
I'm running LMS on Max2play on my Pi. This functions as a player and server for my whole house audio system which consists of 3 Raspberry Pi players using Max2play, 5 Logitech Receivers, 1 Logitech Boom and, 1 Logitech Radio. I'm using the Spotify family plugin with a family account for Spotify and I have had no real issues with syncing all these players together in various combinations. The only real complaint is that I wish this Spotify plugin had a menu more similar to the official Spotify plugin. But as far as synchronization I have had no real issues it.

Re: [slim] Playing beyond tracks
I agree, the server would convert it back to FLAC anyway. With some FLAC files there are issues with the compression used but that would typically rather mean playback breaks off. Your LMS version is old, the first thing to do should be to try to update it. --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 9, the Universal App for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch* pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106111 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I seriously doubt your suggestions work, as it was a FLAC file, even if I convert to a WAV file it won't make a difference. It'll play and advance to the next track, coz when I rewind the same track, it'll advance to the next track. lightning888's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66034 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106111 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I wanted to add that in LMS interface the playing showed "0:00" time left for the song, but it doesn't advance to the next song. Whereas in iPeng it played beyond the file's actual length and showed 4:30 when it's supposed to finish at 4:00. Appreciate feedback from this community.

[slim] Cross referencing 2 large music collections ?
Hello My main music collection died last night (on a WD USB hard drive - one drop too many !). I have a double back up of this (another USB HD & an external, AC-powered HD), but this has been done manually over the years so am uncertain as to how accurate the backups are. Is there an easy way to cross reference these collections, to ensure the maximum number of folders/files are restored to the new drive (hopefully without any missing) ? e.g. to find which files (if any) are absent from either drive that are present on the other...
