Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Windows clients opinions
Just a thought here... You can use any controller to control any player. For instance if you have a Pie player hooked up to the stereo you can control it from a web browser on a PC or an app on your phone like Orange Squeeze. For some reason I'm getting the impression you think you must use a controller on the device you're playing music from. Any/all controller can control any player device. For instance in the web interface click on the dropdown and you can select the player you want to play from. +---+ |Filename: 2019-08-24 14_04_10-Clipboard.jpg| |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=28045| +---+ Main system - Rock Solid with LMS 7.9.1 Official on WHS 2011 - 2 Duets and Squeeseslave Cabin system - Rock solid with LMS 7.9.1 Official on Win10 Pro - 1 RPi 3 Model B/Hifiberry DAC+ Pro/PiCorePlayer and Squeezeslave w3wilkes's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22973 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110887 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Windows clients opinions
The bad part about NSSM (I use NSSM for Squeezelite and it's perfect) is it works so well I'd forgotten how I always had my laptop show up as a player and I couldn't remember how I'd implemented it until I started reading this thread.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Windows clients opinions
I run Material plugin in a Chrome app and an instance of Squeezeplay (minimised) when I (rarely) want a player on the PC. This is essentially what Squeezelie-X does (except itÂ’s Squeezeplay instead of Squeezelite) but you can leave the Chrome app window open full screen if you wish. It works with a Touchscreen.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Windows clients opinions
Hi All, I have been an happy user for LMS for more than an year now, have built a few devices with Raspberry Pi 3 and Zero and squeezelite (some piCorePlayer based, some DietPi based, some with no display, some with LCD display, some with 7'' touch display) and mostly used them with Squeezer. Totally satisfied by the software and also used SqueezePlay on a PC with a cheap DAC+headphone amp. Now kids are turning into teens and along with my wife they wish to use the LMS library from a PC as well and things are getting hairy, not from a technical perspective, but from a user experience point of view: kids find SqueezePlay Interface counterintuitive and would prefer a more Windows 10 style interface (both kids have a convertible laptop with touchscreen), wife might use use it but she also find it awkward on a PC. Have tried Squeezelite-X but with little success: it often hangs or has problems and it is evident that it is a web browser in disguise in many way, so the experience isn't the best on a convertible. Are these the only two options for playing music on a PC from LMS (browing the library and sharing playlists, not just streaming)? Does anybody know of any other client or plugin for well known music players available. I have tried using LMS from Windows Media Player as a DLNA source (with DLNA plugin installed on LMS) but it is very slow and rarely show all the library. Anyone using DLNA players for PC with LMS who is satisfied by the user experience? What player? Thanx for any information you might share.
