Hi,
I'm no expert at this stuff, just a slightly persistent bodger. I also
haven't tried this again since earlier this year. So I've only a few
comments/suggestions.
1. Can you log in to your LMS server with ssh remotely?
2. Is it possible to try running LMS on port 9000 instead, however
briefly?
3. Are you able to get Squeezeplay to play music even if the control
side isn't working (eg using a separate laptop connected as suggested in
post #1)?
4. Can you run squeezelite instead as in post #1?
To clarify my somewhat broken up scripts, the client one is:
Code:
--------------------
# To connect via ssh, socat maps 127.0.0.1 (localhost) 3483 to 34831. Then
ssh using 9000 and 3483 and 34831 to LMS.
# 34831 is used to map 3483 udp to tcp and back since ssh doesn't support udp.
# So run this, then connect browser or squeezeplay (etc) to localhost:9000
(or 127.0.0.1 for squeezeplay)
killall socat
socat -T3600 udp4-recvfrom:3483,reuseaddr,fork tcp:localhost:34831 & ssh -L
9000:LMS-ip:9000 -L 3483:LMS-ip:3483 -L 34831:lms-ip:34831 LMS-DNS
/home/me/sshsocat.sh
--------------------
Where LMS-ip is the LMS ip address on the LMS network (eg like
192.168.1.5, or whatever), LMS-DNS is my dynamic DNS address (via
mynetgear in my case), and "/home/me/sshsocat.sh" is the file location
on the LMS server of sshsocat.sh, which contains:
Code:
--------------------
killall socat
socat tcp4-listen:34831,reuseaddr,fork UDP:localhost:3483 &
--------------------
I hope that helps.
