Hey Folks,
What's the best forum to ask for feature requests to Squeezelite? Short request: I'd like the ability to specify the "Device ID" in the HELO packet sent to the server on startup. Looks like Squeezelite always passes 12. It was a straightforward change for me to make... in addition to passing a new ID, I needed to install dummy handlers for visu, stat, visg, grfe, and grfb to keep warning messages to a minimum. I was able to build and run with it, but it's quite the process to get all of the dependent libs built (never figured out the ALAC lib so I don't have support for it) and it would be nice to have it as part of the official build. Long Story: I'm probably the only person in the world that does this, but I have a Russound whole audio system that I have connected to a Squeezebox. I listen (via a serial connection) to keypresses from the Russound keypads and redirect them to the Squeezebox, and listen to Squeezebox UI changes and send that text to the Russound keypads (I send keystrokes and receive Squeezebox UI changes via the CLI). This has been working pretty well for the past 10-15 years. However, in an effort to consolidate hardware (and make it a bit more reliable especially during power outages) I'm doing away with the actual Squeezebox device and want to use a software-based player instead. I was playing with SoftSqueeze for a bit, but having to run Java and the resource overhead for an unneeded UX is a bit of a pain. Squeezelite seems like a perfect alternative, but SlimServer does not seem to support navigations on a Squeezelite player (presumably because it's headless). However, I found that if I change Squeezelite to report itself as an actual Squeezebox, I can perform navigations and get text change notifications. Make sense? :) Thanks!
