I saw that, and had a play. I think it doesn't remove the player altogether - I can't recall clearly, but I think it still left the option to start the player from within Squeezeplay. If I'd seen that option before I started playing with Jivelite it probably would have been enough for me. Without any great expectation of success I had a go at building Squeezelite, and surprisingly it worked! I had to install some additional libraries to get the makefile to work (libflac-dev, libmad0-dev, libvorbis-dev, libmpg123-dev and libfaad-dev), but as soon as it compiled I ran it and I immediately had a new 'Squeezelite' player in LMS, first time. And when I started some music on that player it came out of the built-in speaker. I can't believe it was that easy! I copied over the executable to my internal version, together with the libraries it needs, and it only took an extra 11 MB in total. I set it running in the background, started Jivelite, and there it is in the list of players. So now I'm torn - do I find out how to get this instance of Squeezelite recognised by Jivelite as the 'local' player, or do I persevere with making Jivelite completely independent of a local player and just let this Squeezelite act as another player, equal in status to all the others? I think I favour the latter approach. I wonder how Jivelite knows which is the 'local' player, and will I have to do something special to prevent Squeezelite being identified as the local player?
