On Windows there's Squeezelite-X, or there's Squeezeplay for almost any 
desktop.

[slim] Playing music from a desktop computer?

2021-10-28 Thread Ruminator


I'm wondering if there is a way to play music from our LMS server on our
desktop computers?  I can reach LMS from all of our desktop computers,
but they only point to the players.  Is there a way that could make a
player out of the desktop?  

_Our_setup:_
SERVER:  
Linux Manjaro XFCE v21.1.5 running on an old Small Green Computer
(formerly a Vortex setup)
Connected to the ethernet

PLAYERS:
Squeezbox radio, baby.  Firmware v7.7.3, wifi
piCorePlayer SqueezeLite, Firmware v1.9.9, wifi

You can also use some pi4 or clones (I think the radxa zero is 5GHz as
well) or at least use some squeezelite-esp32 based device to use 802.11n
which is still 2.4 but still much better.

Re: [slim] 5g wifi speakers? sick of 2g squeezebox issues but still want to continue using LMS..

2021-10-28 Thread stevebaggs


I use the UPnP/DLNA bridge plugin which allows me to play direct to my
Kef LSX speakers - I'm listening to them now, as it happens. I assume
the same would be possible with Kef's LS50 Wireless speakers, which are
bigger. The LSXs also work with the Airplay plugin, but I think I'm
right in saying the DLNA plugin allows a higher bitrate. In earler
versions of the DLNA plugin I had problems with playback not moving on
to the next track reliably, but there is a plugin setting to force the
player to move on which seems to do the trick with the current version.

The LSXs can be temperamental to set up (some people will say that's an
understatement), but once they are working they sound very good for a
small speaker.

[slim] 5g wifi speakers? sick of 2g squeezebox issues but still want to continue using LMS..

2021-10-28 Thread kllngtme


So I would like to start adding on to my squeezebox environment. I'm
sick of dealing with wifi issues and rebuffering and the speakers being
somewhat outdated now that I'd like to start thinking of how to slowly
sift out of the squeezebox hardware.
I still see myself using the radios and touch until the screens die as
the weather and functionality is great, even if the sound quality is
awful(it was good in its day).

I'm looking for speakers where I can Bluetooth stream from my phone if I
want, as well as see these speakers on LMS to be able to play right from
LMS to the speakers.
Audioengine and various others make Bluetooth speakers, but what I'm
looking for as well is for the same speakers to show up on LMS without
an actual LMS client. Are there are there any out there other than
having to add a squeezebox client, is there a way through a dlna
supported speaker to see it on LMS?
