Re: [slim] How to get started on Windows?
Picking up on this again. LMS and Squeezelite-X are working to play music from the Windows Storage Server. I installed the Air Play plug-in as suggested and it "sees" the Yamaha RX-A3080 as well as the two multicast speakers, but the Yamaha devices receive no music or other indication that there is anything attempting to serve them .mp3s or other music formats. Is there anyone on this forum who has successfully connected LMS to a Yamaha Music Cast device? 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

In the words of an old time song... "I'm beginning to see the light." (Ella Fitzgerald and Duke Ellington.) I'll work on this and see what my next hurdle turns out to be.

Very helpful. On my network I have a third generation Windows Home Server, officially known as Windows Storage Server. It runs on an HP Microserver with a very light CPU (either a ARM or a Celeron), and 2 GB RAM. I also have my desktop and several older systems with i5 CPU's and SSD drives, and 8 GB RAM. I can run XP, 7 or 10 on these, or 8 if I must. The music files are stored on the Storage Server. I'm guessing all the music files need to be on the same box as the LMS or in a shared folder accessible to the LMS. If not like that, then how? If so, where does Squeezelite go? Or is there a better way, while staying in Windows? If I have files I don't want LMS to "see" or catalog, or list, such as all the non-music "music" like hip-hop/rap that children want to store, how can I isolate them, as it appears LMS will scan anything it can find. Or will it not bother with root shares which in windows are C$ etc. Thanks again 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
[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.
