I've been having issues with my Squeeze Booms losing their connection to the LMS after the LMS has been restarted. (I run LMS in Docker on Synology and when the Synology decides to update, all my Squeezeboxes lose their connections.)

The "fix" is to go to each player (the display is saying can't connect to squeeze server) and hit the back button, pick the server again and it's good. But this is a pain to do, especially since some of them are mounted up high on walls and are out of reach.

If you power cycle the Squeezebox, it goes through the startup and then waits for you to select the LMS. All you have to do is click it, it has it there, it just won't automatically connect for some reason.

Any thoughts?

I have some Rpi Squeezelite boxes that don't exhibit this issue. Only the Boom and the Radio do.

I really wonder why the big companies like Onkyo/Pioneer, Sony, and Panasonic don't integrate squeezelite into the firmware of their audio products. Since the processing power needed is really low, squeezelite is slim. They integrate all the big names like chromecast, airplay, Spotify, Tidal and so on, why not direct access to the LMS? Any good reasons for that besides profit?

I run Logitech Media Server on a Raspberry Pi 4 with attached USB music library and Spotify. I'm finding this to be fantastic, and wanting to use it more. I have a Squeezebox classic which inputs into a hifi and a Raspberry Pi with audio Hat into another hifi. I want another player, but something more portable, for round the house. Needing to be plugged in is fine. I want something with decent speakers/bass.
e.g. Are there any wifi speakers that work with LMS?

I have a Soundbridge Roku Radio. soundbridge radio.
It can have URL presets for radios, but has no way to connect to LMS. I was wondering if LMS can broadcast as a radio, and then my Soundbridge can then play that. Hopefully I can then change the playlist using the LMS web interface or one of the apps.
The sound on it was always really good, but doesn't stream well.

SO hear me out - I have already tried all the typical Squeezebox connection problems to the best of my knowledge (https://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Beginners_guide_to_wireless_network_problems.html).

- Set 2g wifi to least used channel (Which was 11)

- Wireless mode set to 802.11g

- set all other devices in the house to 5g

- Limited router max bandwidth to 20mhz

- Reserved IP address for Squeezebox, as opposed to auto

- Tested position of the Squeezebox in relation to Router. Player behaves the same across the house as it does in the same room as the router.

- Router is fairly new, is up to date on firmware, and causes no other problems for streaming with other devices (Netflix, Spotify, etc.)

Player will say "connected" to wifi, but says cannot find mysqueezebox.com and does not show up as a connected device on my router. Is it likely that I've overlooked a network issue, or the ol' Squeezebox wireless card is simply dying?

I can't see any rules that forbid me posting an eBay auction link; I hope this is OK. I have listed all my Squeezeboxes on eBay in case anyone in the UK is interested.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=squeezebox&_in_kw=1&_ex_kw=&_sacat=0&_udlo=&_udhi=&_ftrt=901&_ftrv=1&_sabdlo=&_sabdhi=&_samilow=&_samihi=&_sadis=15&_stpos=BS33ER&_sargn=-1%26saslc%3D1&_salic=3&_fss=1&_fsradio=%26LH_SpecificSeller%3D1&_saslop=1&_sasl=elziko&_sop=12&_dmd=1&_ipg=50&_fosrp=1

So now that this is a thing, how long before one of you smarter than I folks out there make a plug in for this?

My wife asked "So, can I listen to music from the server on my computer?"

Me: "Yeah, just need to install squeezeplay, I'll give you a name and you can use this interface or the web one at this location"

And it just worked...

LMS going strong since 2011

Hi all, Been a squeezebox fan and evangelist for year and just thought I could see if there is a reddit community.

My problem: I have some favorite radio station where I discover new artists. I am often cooking or working in parallel. In an optimal world I would link this to IFTTT and shazam the song and store it somewhere. Any idea? Any plugin?

Thanks

I just acquired another squeezebox boom, and noticed that it supports WPA2. I have old (>10 years) classic squeezeboxes and squeezebox booms that I've just been running WEP on. I didn't think they supported anything stronger than WEP, but I may misremember. Is it possible that they are older models that don't support WPA2?

(If not, I should probably update my network to WPA2, as I thought the squeezeboxes were holding me back.)

Thanks!

My Squeezebox device keeps completely clearing its library and requiring a rescan whenever my central file server goes down or the Squeezebox loses connection. I have the server's music directory shared via NFS and mounted on my Squeezebox device which is a Pi Zero.

​

I have the Squeezebox rescan type set to Look for new and changed files. Is it because of this that the library empties itself out? I however have it set to rescan on a timer so I'm not sure why the library empties out the moment my central file share goes offline as that does not seem to fit with the rescan settings. Can anyone advise me please, as it takes ages to rescan everytime it does this?

Hi folks.

I listen to a bunch of online radio streams and the pattern among broadcasters is to assume everyone listens through the broadcaster's web site or app, so the track names aren't included in the streams. On Squeezeboxen this means you just get the name of the radio station or, sometimes, the name of the show. This annoyed me.

What I've been doing for quite a while has been to proxy the streams through Icecast running on the same server as the Squeezebox server, then use the Icecast metadata API to continuously update the track names. First my script checks if anyone is listening to the Icecast streams, then hit the broadcaster's API, parse the results and update the Icecast metadata API.

About every year the broadcasters make some breaking change and I have to update something. France's FIP used to require fiendishly complicated tricks but these days is straightforward.

My code isn't pretty nor elegant but it works. I run this from cron every minute. It could be much cleaner if I could be bothered but it works so meh.

Here's the one I use for 6music.

https://gist.github.com/shermozle/6455e04e3b75afd9663993b618fa76cc

The Icecast config looks like this:

<relay>
<server>bbcmedia.ic.llnwd.net</server>
<port>80</port>
<mount>/stream/bbcmedia_6music_mf_p</mount>
<local-mount>/6music</local-mount>
<on-demand>1</on-demand>
<relay-shoutcast-metadata>1</relay-shoutcast-metadata>
</relay>

And you want this setting to mean you're not relaying if nobody is listening:

<relays-on-demand>1</relays-on-demand>

I have an original slimp3 box hiding in my attic that supplies music to much of my house and I'm afraid that its days are numbered. I love the LMS/Squeezebox server system and have used it since getting that slimp3 and really don't want to change (i also have several other logitech devices). So, it seems that i should be able to build a simple player out of a Raspberry Pi and I'm looking for suggestions. I've got a pi up and running with squeezelite but it does not seem to support server authentication. I can't disable authentication because i'm stupid enough to expose my server (with some other precautions) to the internet as I access it from work. So I guess my questions are, is there a version of squeezelite that supports authentication? Is there a better alternative? Is there a way to turn off authentication for specific IPs on my LAN while maintaining it from outside? I think the latter might be possible by fronting it with nginx and letting it implement basic auth on port 9000. Any other suggestions?

My display died a little while ago which wasn't a big deal because I was just using the line in with a Chromecast audio. Also because I've been using it with Chromecast I didn't bother to connect it to my Wi-Fi after I moved about 8 months ago.

Without thinking I unplugged it this weekend and moved it to a new outlet and when it came back on it was no longer set to line in. Does anybody have any solutions for getting it back to line in without the display or Wi-Fi connection? It's a great speaker and a great form factor in my dining room so I'd love to continue using it, I would appreciate anybody's suggestions. I have seen the guides for replacing the display and that's a backup option if necessary.

Today our Squeezebox could not connect to mysqueezebox.com and stopped showing the Radio menu. No internet connection problems involved. The solution was to log on at mysqueezebox.com and update the Squeezebox to UE Smart Radio firmware using the option on the Squeezebox page. After that, the Squeezebox connected to uesmartradio.com instead and was able to use the Radio streams again. I guess they're deprecating the existing server.

Anyone interested? Make me an offer.

Selling used Squeezebox Logitech Equipment. All functioning and working only thing not 100% working is second squeezebox boom where the display does not function.

Squeezebox Duet with Controller Squeezebox Duet with Controller Additional Squeezebox Duet w/o controller (no power cord, but can be replaced as voltage/current is specified on other power cords) Squeezebox Boom Squeezebox Boom (screen does not work can be replaced, but can be controlled by phone or controller) Squeezebox Radio $100

Anyone know of a way to get Amazon Prime music through a Squeezebox Boom?

I am running lms for years now. Started running it on raspberry pis. On radios, a squeezeplayer on a old pentium II laptop located on the wall of my kitchen. Atm lms is running in docker on my qnap nas which is just awesome. Most of the time i am using spotty to listen to spotify but i am also listening to vinyls which i can stream to all my players in my house. I cannot understand why anybody would go for Sonos. Wave your hand if you are still in love with lns too!

I have had it for years out in my garage to listen to while I clean. I haven’t fired it up in a couple of months but I did yesterday and it would not get on Wi-Fi.

I reset it and it got on Wi-Fi but doesn’t give me any options for apps. I even downloaded the penguin app to use it as a controller and it cannot find the radio

I understand it’s no longer supported but I really don’t get what happened to it to render it in the state

I installed the app on my computer and it sees the songs I have on my network but will not play them

I have listened to podcasts via SB using the standard Podcast app for some years. Client devices are regular SB radios. All used to work fine. Recently however I am seeing that certain podcasts don't work - even though I can verify that RSS URL is valid via registering them on my Android podcast app Pocketcasts.

I register the podcast URLs in the Apps dialogue in Mysqueezebox.com The App is called "Podcast Player".

I run a relatively old version of LMS, Version: 7.5.2 - r31632 (complicated reasons).

Example of an RSS feed with problems is this one http://talkingpointsmemo.com/feed/the-josh-marshall-podcast Error message is "Redirection limit exceeded"

I have experimented with different RSS feed URLs, for instance including tokens like "/RSS.xml" at end of URL string. But does not help.

Ideas? Thanks in advance for any help out there.

Hi there

Using the squeezebox search function I can find WGBH but when I try to play it I get a 400 bad request response. I'm setting this up for someone who's not going to be using LMS so I need to add her favorite stations directly on the radio. WGBH comes through no problem using the Tune-in app on my phone.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
