Hi bpbiszkopt
I'm sorry that I didn't know about Local Player 3rd party plugin, now
that I reread your questions (on previous page) I see you mention Local
Player at the beginning.

Hi bpbiszkopt
LMS is a server. You need a client (a music player).
LMS does not play music, it just collects music, and manages its stock
and access, and distributes them to the actual music players (the
renderers).
The client receives the music from LMS and sends it wherever you want
to,
Hi bpbiszkopt
Presumably, when running LMS in a Docker container, you have it
installed on a NAS (e.g. Synology, QNAP)
Are you trying to run LMS on a PC and stream music directly from LMS to
a USB port on the PC?
Not sure what EDO Player is, but I know that the Squeezebox Touch can be

It looks nice, but just to ensure that everybody reading this realizes
the obvious - the case is made of aluminium, so it shields from
radiowaves, i.e. you can't use wi-fi or bluetooth. Since the USB port is
there, you can plug in some external wi-fi or bluetooth device, if
needed.
