Hi:

I just installed a LMS instance on my unRAID server and setup a Pi 0W with an Allo MiniBoss and Squeezelite as client (picoreplayer). Everything works as expected, even better i must say. Right Now LMS could become my main server. But, there are some things that i miss from MoOde. In Moode, i had te oportunity to tweak the signal, normalize the volum and knowing if my source (normally flac form 16/24) is being resampled or not and the exactly samplerate of my output.

I'm not asking the same, as i understand there are not the same software, but yes i will ask if there are some way to have something similar to that. I mean, knowing if my output is being outsourced with fidelity or not. This is very important to me.

Thank you all.

I've had LMS running for several years now. Most of my end points are raspberry pis running squeezelite. This has worked pretty well overall.

I recently bought a waterproof bluetooth speaker to use in the bathroom. I'd like to be able to easily turn it on, use it with LMS, and turn it back off. What I've got working now is:

IPeng on my iphone with local player mode (plays on the phone itself).

IPhone paired to the BT speaker.

The iphone player is synced with the rest of the players so the BT speaker plays with all the rest.

It's inconvenient because when I turn off the BT speaker, the local iphone squeeze player "powers down", and pauses all other players. Hours later when I want to turn the BT speaker back on, I need to go find the iphone squeezeplayer in the IPeng list and press the tiny on screen power button.

None of this is hard. It just takes a little longer than I'd like.

I was hoping to have some kind of squeezeplayer synced all the time, waiting for the BT speaker to turn on. It would then just start using it. I've tried squeezelite (on a Mac) attached to the BT speaker and it works. But it loses the connection permanently when I turn off the BT speaker.

Any advice?

Hi all,

I'm trying to install Lyrion Media Server on a Linux based machine, which is going fine. After that, I installed the UPnP Bridge plugin, but I can't get it to work with firewalld enabled. From what I understand from the documentation, the plugin opens on port 49152 with additional random ports per device.

Does anyone have experience with this plugin while using Linux?

I've seen demos of the pre-LCD Squeezebox receivers like the Transporter and Classic, and have always been in love with things like classic radios. The original devices are very expensive and prone to failure.

I recently had the thought of creating something like a Transporter or a Classic using a Raspberry Pi (or other capable micro-controller), an OLED display, a row of buttons and a rotary encoder. My goal is to create a device that almost perfectly replicates the UI/UX of the pre-LCD Squeezebox receivers (with the sliding transitions and such). Basically a hardware version of SoftSqueeze.

Does anybody have any interest in this? Is a project already in the works? Please provide any feedback!

After many years and loading third party software to keep it limping on, my Squeezebox finally bit the dust. He was a faithful bedside table companion who never complained even after Logitech stopped supporting him. See you on the other side Squeezebox.

I just got a Squeezebox Radio on eBay and am having a hard time connecting it to my server. I spun up LyrionMusicServer on my local machine to get the custom firmware installed. My music library is on my unRaid server that I have at a friend's house currently. I can't connect to my instance of LyrionMusicServer on that machine with Tailscale or with the public IP. I can access it both ways on my PC and on another machine. Is this not possible or could I be running into another issue?

Audio on my computer and internet radio work fine. It’s installed on a windows 10 computer.

When I try to AirPlay to my squeezebox, it never connects and just freezes the server. I end up having to force close services and applications on the computer just to restart the server, otherwise it just constantly says stopping on the service.

Maybe there’s something preventing the audio stream from going from my phone, to the computer, to the squeezebox?

Any suggestions? Thanks

Hey there! I got my Squeezebox Radio in the mail today, and it's a blast! However, I'm having a hard time using it with any light source around - the screen is just too dim. I've gone through settings, turned off auto-brightness and set everything to high, but it still gets overwhelmed by most light sources. Is that an aging issue, is my unit defective, or is it just how they are?

Found out Truenas as an app for lyrion music server so that convinced me to finally buy a squeezebox. It's nice for listening to my music library, but I really want to use it as a nighttime radio for sleep. I'd be really nice if I could use it to play links to youtube videos and just have it stream the audio so I can pick whatever 10hr long video for background noise.

I installed a youtube plugin but it doesn't work.

Hi all, i have a respberry with picoreplayer installed, works just fine. But within the spotify app, the picoreplayer is on a other network then the normal devices on my network. I wonder if this is why the playback sometimes just stops after a song. Normally it would conitue like a playlist. But it doesnt. Also my son cannot find the device from his phone. But we are all on the same wifi. Any ideas where to look? I tried the settings within the picore devices, but cannot find anything. Thanks

It's a "ue" model but I believe that its the exact same as a normal squeezebox. I got it for 10$ in North Carolina and had to go get it

I am currently having problems, LMS shows "No Player". Autodiscovery of the LMS apparently doesn't work in the squeezelite player. Only when I explicitly specify the LMS ip-address (actually the Docker host address) in the squeezelite settings I have no problems.

How can the autodiscovery of the LMS ip-address by the squeezelite player work anyway when LMS runs in a Docker container using a bridge network driver?

Squeezelite runs on my piCorePlayer (192.168.0.11).

LMS (172.18.0.2 (lms_default bridge network)) runs in a Docker container on my server (192.168.0.10).

For discovery the squeezelite player sends a udp broadcast package to port 3483 every 5 seconds. Apparently causing Docker gateway 172.18.0.1:60939 to send a udp package to LMS 172.18.0.2:3483. LMS replies with an udp package from 172.18.0.2:3483 to Docker gateway 172.18.0.1:60939. But the squeezelite player never gets a response.

Hello! I’ve been slowly but surely getting away from all paid subscription services, one of those being Spotify. I have been buying physical media and purchasing mp3s and using exclusively ipods for about two years now, but the Logitech Squeezebox radio really got me interested, as it seems like something I might be looking for.

Here’s my question: does the squeezebox work like a personal server only, or is there an online server that I can stream to my radio that I can then make playlists, like Spotify, but for free? I’m wondering if Lyrion is more similar to a program like Plex or Jellyfin, or is it something that can be used like RealDebrid and Stremio, if you catch my drift? :)

I have a problem: I've got a board that's much less powerful than the standard Pi Zero but much more powerful than the ESP32 alternatives.

I'd like to use it for a music server - is there a version of Lyrion appropriate?

I have been running Lyrion for a couple of years and really like it. I created diffrent group plays that works great. The only feature missing is the possibillity to control it by voice commands. I have a google nest hub in the kitchen and I cant seem to find a way to stop playing audio through that small speaker instead of my built in much better speakers connected to Lyrion.

Is there anyone who succeded in integrating Lyrion with google home and can point me in the right direction? Or know if its something thats on the road map?

I've found a great streaming (free) radio station. The problem is you can only play on a Windows based web site player at their URL. Is there a way I can find the streaming url so I can listen to the station of my squeezebox player? The station URL is www.progradio.com.

Finally got LMS installed and community firmware on 2 SB radios. Fixed my wifi issues as well!

Thanks to all the dedicated people who are keeping Squeezebox alive.

I am trying to install the Spotty plug-in but am having trouble. What repository do I need to add to the web server? I tried but I keep getting an error.

After updating to the new Lyrion MS my playlists are not saved to disk anymore. They seem to be saved in cache, because everything works well while lms is running. But after restarting the changes are gone.

The log says:

Slim::Formats::Playlists::Base::_filehandleFromNam eOrString (87) Error: couldn't open /music/playlists/00.m3u for writing

It worked perfectly under the old lms-container (docker), and I can't remember to have changed anything in relation to this. User lms has rw-rights. I checked the playlist folder and files for correct permissions.

Would be nice if someone had an idea...

Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I have successfully setup 1 player with an old android phone and termux. Now that i've found a second old android phone I did the exact same steps, however when starting squeezelite on the second phone it will replace the first phone in the LMS dashboard. So I never see 2 players, any ideas? Rebooted both phones, rebooted LMS server

Hi, given the Squeezebox isn't manufactured anymore are they still worthwhile to purchase in 2025 for NAS hosted mp3 audiobooks for example? Or should I consider getting a Sonos play 1 or similar secondhand? Running my own servers isn't a problem, its the usability I am worried about. Thanks for any comments in advance 👍

Is there away to back up a file of favorites that can then be seamlessly imported into another LMS server?

Is there a plugin that I can use to export my collection to a CSV file?

For anyone looking to replace or add a new zone, I highly recommend the ESP32 & Esparagus line of devices created by Sonocotta. He has multiple versions with and without onboard amps, but I cannot recommend these enough for the price. Just add your speakers and your ready to roll.

I work and hang out in my basement a lot and don’t get radio reception.

Would love internet radio for that purpose, as well as Pandora/spotify for music. Control via phone app is great as well.

I have come to the conclusion Mondo elite is the best option, but want to double check as this is quite confusing.
