Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Stream Windows PC Audio to Raspberry Pi LMS
There are numerous ways to do this but Ive not found one that doesnt introduce some lag into the equation. If we are talking Windows then Stream What You Hear is arguably the easiest to setup however I have opted for a generic solution that can stream everything that hits my HiFi ie Turntable, CD or input from something else which could be a PC. Raspberry Pi with a Behringer UCA202 as its input from the HiFi tape out. The Pi runs Liquidsoap and an instance of Icecast which generates a stream the LMS can play.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Stream Windows PC Audio to Raspberry Pi LMS
Yet another alternative to creating a http/MP3 stream for Win audio - if your system has a "Stereo Mix" or similar (may need to be enabled from Sound control panel) - then you can use VLC to create a http/MP3 stream from the "Stereo Mix" device. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116130 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

SWYH is in essence the same solution. It does not require LMS to be on the same system.

Thanks for that suggestion, Paul! Interestingly, my Windows 11 setup does have a "Loopback" function that was configured with the installation of my Focusrite Scartlett 18i8 audio interface that will, I think, take the place of the "Stereo Mix" feature found in older Windows versions. So, both the old WaveInput and StreamWhatYouHear plugins could be part of the setup. However, in my current situation, the source audio is on a Windows 11 laptop and the LMS server is actually on a Raspberry Pi device. The challenge is getting the Soundcard audio from Windows to LMS on RPi... I did (sort of) successfully pull it off last night by using Rocket Broadcaster to encode the soundcard output and Rocket Audio Streaming Audio Server to "serve it up" to a TCP port on my Windows Laptop. I used Winamp to generate a Playlist to the server instance and then saved the Playlist on LMS in it's Playlist directory so that I could choose it from various Squeeze Players throughout the house. It worked however there was about a 60 second ish delay in transmission. Not exactly a deal killer for my 5 year old... but not exactly what I'm looking for either. From what I could tell this 60 latency is echoed in other forums as well with folks trying similar software acrobatics. If I come across a better solution, I'll report it here.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Stream Windows PC Audio to Raspberry Pi LMS
I was challenged by my 5 year old to send the output of my Windows-based Audio PC running Ableton and capturing sounds from my synthesizers to our Raspberry Pi Logitech Media Server so that we could listen throughout the "whole house" I know about the "Line-in" plugin on LMS... But how can I, in an efficient/simple manner send an audio stream from Windows 11 to LMS on a RaspberryPi? My PC has a fancy USB Focusrite multiple output Audio interface... but I think sending the audio across the LAN in the house would be more elegant that draping a cable across the floor. I thought about setting up shoutcast/rocket streaming audio server/and OBS... but it seemed too complicated for my short attention span mind at this moment. Anyone have any recommendations?
