Today I connected to XSqueeze from LMS 7.9 running inside a docker container - and it works perfect :-)
I really love XSqueeze Smile

@newan - where did you need the delay then in the end? Did you pinpoint the actual issue then? Weird it fires up on mine so easily...

@oyvindo - glad ti works well for you

newan · 2016-06-21, 07:08

No Problem, i explain my solution on:

https://github.com/bossanova808/reposito...8/issues/6

is it the right spot for that?

**bossanova808** · 2016-06-21, 07:19

Thanks, let's take it there from now on...

Hi folks

I wonder if it can work without local LMS but only via mysqueexebox.com

I own an original hardware radio by Logitech and use it without any local LMS. Instead I have an account at mysqueexebox.com and the radio works very well for me.
Now I would like to setup a second radio on OpenELEC Raspberry Pi 2 and installed that fantastic client XSqueeze...

However its configuration screen requires IP address of ILM server, the ports for HTTP and CLI... all that things make me suspicious that I am in trouble with my idea to use only cloud mysqueexebox.com

Please make me believe that it possible.
Any feedback would be much appreciated!

**bossanova808** · 2016-06-23, 01:20

@shkaff - yeah out of the box that's not going to work.

XSqueeze use the LMS CLI for basically everything - it doesn't really do much with the player other than connect to it - even all the playback controls send simulated button presses via the CLI if I recall correctly.

It's be a pretty big re-write to change - the whole thing was/is very much a hack really and based on the older (and what i think of as better) approach/hardware from the Slim era more so than the Logitech era

Hi

Could someone help me change the MAC address of the squeezelite? Where do I have to put in the command?
I am running OSMC Kodi 16.x on a RPI 2. LMS 7.9 installed and xSqueeze. But I can't connect to mysqueezebox.com with the player.

Regards

**bossanova808** · 2016-07-16, 09:07

@Bergowitz - you can change it in XSqueeze's settings - you just need to enter a valid mac. If you use the MAC for your network card, that should work fine.

Hi bossanova808,

First off, what a great job with the addon to Kodi! Smile

Thanks a lot for it!

Now I've gotten everything to work but just like another user (I searched the thread before posting this) I experience stutters and noise when I play music on the Raspberry Pi Kodi (OpenELEC latest version). If I put my ear towards the speakers I can hear how it drops frames (is that what's called in music too?) of the tune, it feels as if parts of the sound falls off and never gets played.

So I read through this thread and applied a few tips and tricks, here is what I've done so far.

I've tried using squeezeslave, but no go. I can't get sound through on the Raspberry Pi. But squeezelite works after adding the snd_bcm2835 ALSA module as per the wiki instructions.
I've tried with both local music files, VBR as well as WAV and FLAC - also tried with Internet Radio and Spotify, same kind of fall off.

I tried to apply the -y200 as an argument but that doesn't work at all. It results in Squeezelite not showing up as a player in LMS. Removing it solves that problem. Any idea why?

My last attempt is through SSH to populate a log for you.

Also, I made this debug log as well, not sure if it provides you anything as it looks the same as the above but with a much higher attention to logging every millisecond.

Any idea how the stuttering/fall-off/noise can be fixed? I mean everything else is working absolutely fine and I'm loving it!

Thanks!

**bossanova808** · 2016-08-02, 03:33

@Mamborio - best thing to do is get it working from the command line in terms of playback smoothness - maybe much about with buffer/priority settings etc?

All the command line options are here:
https://github.com/ralph-irving/squeezelite

Once you have it working via the commandline, just copy the settings back to xsqueeze.

Grinsekatze · (This post was last modified: 2016-10-09, 20:44 by Grinsekatze.)

Ok, I installed the plugin today and came accross two Problems:
- Where / how can I define a user Name for the squezebox instance (SqueezePlay for example I can navigate inside the configuration and Chose a custm Name for Squezelite 3).
- I use Bello Skin with Kodi Jarvis. The Squeezebox Window places the informations wrong (ex. tracks are overlayed over the cover art). How to solve this / which files do I have to modify?

Besides These Problems I like the Plugin. Now I finnaly can sync my Audio inside the whole house - nice effect on House Partys.

**bossanova808** · 2016-10-10, 00:42

@Grinsekatze

Change the player name in the LMS web interface
In the addon folder, look for the .xml files basically - XSqueezeNowPlaying.xml IIRC.

TWART016 · 2016-11-14, 02:02

Hello,

i installed the bossanova808 and activated it. But from install from repo I can't see the xSqueeze Addon.

I use Kodi 15.2 (Openelec 6.0.3)

Greetings
TWART016

**bossanova808** · 2016-11-14, 02:42

@TWART016 That's probably because the min python version in the repo has changed and I can't be bothered with supporting old xbmc versions.

You could manually change it back to 2.1.0 I guess....but probably better if you just upgrade to (at least) Jarvis already Smile

TWART016 · 2016-11-15, 00:21

@bossanova808 Where can I download the Jarvis version for Raspberry Pi / Linux?

I can't find a link.
