LMS should work with yamaha musicast if the Yamaha has upnp/DLNA features. It works with my yamaha wxad 10. You need to install the upnp bridge plugin. castalla's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15624 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115467 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

As you're using Win 10, I'd go for Squeezellite-X. https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/p/squeezelite-x/9pbhmtnp9037?activetab=pivot:overviewtab This is a player and controller, will control all your future Squeezebox players. :):cool: *Server - LMS 8.3.0 *Pi4B 4GB/Argon one case/pCP 8.0.0 - 75K library, playlists & LMS cache on SSD (ntfs) *Study -* Pi4/pCP 8.0.0/Topping E30 DAC/Ruark MR1 Mk2 *Lounge* - Pi2/pCP 8.0.0 > HiFiBerry DIGI+ > AudioEngine DAC1 > AVI DM5 *Dining Room* - Pi3B/pCP/Bluetooth/Echo Show 8 *Garage* - DAC32 > Edifier speakers *Spares* - 2xTouch, 1xSB Radio. 1xSB3, 6xRPi kidstypike's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10436 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115467 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] How to get started on Windows?
Newbie here. Please be gentle. The LMS family of media streaming was suggested to me by someone with years of experience with it. However, he is unable to help. There have been so many new or discontinued products in this arena and there is so much "jargon" that I can't seem to get out of a circular loop. My experience is with Windows, (and before that DOS from V2 to V6). No experience with 'nix variants except for some highly scripted and overlayed products such as routers or firewalls. I ran the LMS installer on Windows 10 and followed up with soft-squeeze which would not connect. The instructions to edit some variables did not seem to apply to Windows 10 as I could not find the referenced files in Users\user-name\etc. Then I saw this in the help: SoftSqueeze emulates Squeezebox and Transporter on Windows, Mac OSX and Unix Computers. Since Server 7.4 SoftSqueeze is replaced by SqueezePlay Meanwhile SqueezePlay isn't shipped the the standard installation anymore. There are some Squeeze Software Emulations out there eg. the ones that Ralph Irving maintains. Name: Description:Link to our Forum: JiveliteGraphical Frontend without Playerfunctionality. Link Squeezelite Commandline Player without Frontend.Link SqueezePlay Graphical Frontend with Playerfunctionality.Windows which seems to say that soft-squeeze will not work with the current version download. Is there anywhere I can go to find a step by step to make LMS work with just the standard speakers on the pc it is installed on as a first step? Then further instructions on how to make it work over the network to speakers on other systems, and finally to make it work on such as Yamaha Music-cast. Thanks for any assistance. flyfishing's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=72309 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115467 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
