Just got an Amazon Echo, and wanted to post how I got it to control the squeezeboxen. It's a little hairy and requires a bit of a work around to get it to do specific commands (for instance, playing a specific station or genre requires you to program each genre individually), but it's worth while

If you can't fix it you might consider a Google Chromecast Audio as a low-cost (~$35) and fairly easy to set up replacement. See these threads: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?104614 http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?104383

No issue mixing wired & WiFi, if your network is decent. When playing local files what format is being used? MP3? FLAC? WAV? I'd suggest ripping one album to WAV, set LMS to stream WAV native (no transcoding), see if the players stutter. Full WAV's would be a pretty good stress test,

Try pressing & holding the Brightness button. When plugged in is the optical port red? Try wiggling the power connection on the player. Long shotes: try a different outlet, open player & remove the WiFi board (requires a Torx T10 driver)

Why did you add a switch ? It sounds like you added something else to the network and this could be clogging the network. Some users found SmartTV (i.e. uPNP enabled) can cause an LMS which has uPNP enabled to start generate packet storms which clog the network.

Is it just me or did the app break after some update to 1.1.4 (which Android tends to happily execute on its own)? Both my Nexus 9 and Samsung S6 Edge act the same ways as one starts the app - it hangs in the "Free Your Music" screen. And yes, I have cleared data and cache in the app manager.

I've added replaygain in the dev repository. This only works if the audio samples sent by LMS are uncompressed (pcm or aif codecs). For mp3 files, as LMS does not by default allows transcoding from mp3 to pcm, you must add a rule in custom-convert.conf. Be aware that it means that more network
