I booted up a Pi and I think there is something else happening not just
the name quoting - possible the need to reload init.d after edits.
I can't do more until later today.

I appreciate what you're saying, and your help, but I have to work with
what I've got! I'm no techie so seeing where it's failing is beyond me!
Also ... which shell is it being run under when being initiated from the
startup process?

Picky but with well defined syntax. I'm surprised the backslash didn't
work. As it is picky, the best way to approach is NOT trial and error
but finding out the result of each

I'm trying different things out, trial and error, simply because - as
you say - it's picky.

The escaping mechanism can be picky - your 2nd example show you used

I can see what we're trying to achieve here. Sadly neither of these
works and squeezelite

Not exactly sure of shell syntax fo escaping but your quotation marks
are not escaped - either enclose by single quotes (my 1st example -

If you post the entire contents of /etc/init.d/squeezelite (put inside
code tags) then we can see what it does with it.

@ronnie, I think the player name defaults to the device name (hostname)
but you can override it with either specifying it in the SL_NAME
parameter or by using -n argument (as you have done) in the additional
args field.
I think the problem is with the parsing of the /etc/defaults/squeezelite
I have been playing with this, this morning
I think that changing the name at SL_NAME is not the correct way. I
tried it and had problems with restarting squeezelite
I googled the argument and got a man page I did not understand
:confused:, but think this line is referenced to the name of the
That would make sense.
Try putting the quotes into etc/init.d/squeezelite
I expect the same could apply to the device specification (although in
your case there are no spaces).

Thank you @bpa, I think I've found the problem. I think it's spaces in
the player name. Whilst this worked...
Code:
sudo squeezelite -n "The Player" -o sysdefault:CARD=Headphones -r 44100 -a
:::0
...this, in the /etc/default/squeezelite
Sorry I forgot to stop squeezelite before posting the file content
(time for a facepalm :))
Code:
/usr/bin/squeezelite -n raspberrypi -o sysdefault:CARD=Headphones -r 44100 -a
:::0 -d all=info -f /tmp/squeezelitelog.txt
[16:38:55.039147] stream_init:454 init
did you drop the necessary argument
SB_EXTRA_ARGS="-r 44100 -a :::0"
I think you need all of the args especially the "-a"
SB_EXTRA_ARGS="-r 44100 -a :::0 -d all=info -f /tmp/squeezelitelog.txt"

bothered with building a new image, not when I have a workaround, but if

I was already running squeezelite 1.9.9-1386 but I downloaded it again,
followed your instructions and tried to restart... no joy. Tbh, I'm not
familiar with the workings of init.d etc so am at a bit of loss to see

I asked this because I was going to suggest that you re-install
squeezelite.
However, not being certain of the correct command I managed to botch
things up before I foound the correct one :rolleyes:
Re-installing squeezelite

Looks like it is exiting immediately.

Thanks for the reply ronnie.
Yes, I did the restart after checking and saving the config. I got
Code:
[ ok ] Restarting squeezelite (via systemctl): squeezelite.service.
...but still no sound.
FYI,
Code:
sudo
I have just added
-r 44100
to a sinilar install and it plays OK
Did you do
Code:
sudo /etc/init.d/squeezelite restart
after saving the config file ?
Also, did you check alsamixer ?

Hello all, I've just installed LMS and squeezelite (1.9.9-1386) on a
RaspPi 3. LMS is working fine via a separate/standalone pCP player plus
2 Sonos speakers (using a plugin) However, I can't start a local player
(i.e. on the LMS pi) after following instructions. I'm sure I'm doing
something
