I think I've reached a setup that seems to work well. I've ended up having the Bluetooth output defined as the primary instance of Squeezelite after all, because even though pCP might report that Squeezelite isn't running if the BT device isn't available when the Pi boots, I can: 1) still easily access the BT configuration page via the 'Card Control' option on the Squeezelite tab, so I can scan/pair/select via the web interface 2) restart the corresponding Squeezelite, if necessary, from the Main tab after setting up/selecting the BT speaker. My main DAC, and also occasionally a USB headphone amp/DAC that I'm playing with, are both started up via User Commands on the tweaks page. I can't easily tell from the pCP interface whether those Squeezelite processes have started successfully, but since they're highly reliable once configured properly that's not important - if the hardware is available at boot then the Squeezelite instances will start. And besides, I can easily see whether those players exist from the LMS interface. With this arrangement there's no need to reboot, and I don't have to SSH into the Pi at all - the ad hoc Bluetooth setup is all done via the pCP web pages. The only fly in the ointment is that Shairport-sync names its Airplay device after the primary Squeezelite instance. With the above setup my primary instance is called 'Bluetooth', so my Airplay device is confusingly called 'Bluetooth', regardless of the configured output device. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109404
