Squeezebox and the Kefs make excellent partners set up that way - it couldn't be much more convenient.

I'm not sure whether it will help, but I've copied the file upnpbridge.xml below (I've starred out a couple of identifying numbers in the device section at the end). As far as I can remember, the only changes I've made from the default settings are:- - Set "Transcode" to PCM, and tick the "Flow" box and set it to "plain 24 bits". According to the documentation, this causes the plugin to send data to the speakers as a continuous stream rather than one track at a time, and I did it to improve reliability at moving from one track to the next which used to fail occasionally.

Anything with built in Airplay or Chromecast can be seen as players if you instal the relevant plugins on LMS. Add the material skin plug-in too and you can easily control them via your phones (as well as tablets and computers of course).

You can also use some pi4 or clones (I think the radxa zero is 5GHz as well) or at least use some squeezelite-esp32 based device to use 802.11n which is still 2.4 but still much better.

Re: [slim] 5g wifi speakers? sick of 2g squeezebox issues but still want to continue using LMS..
I use the UPnP/DLNA bridge plugin which allows me to play direct to my Kef LSX speakers - I'm listening to them now, as it happens. I assume the same would be possible with Kef's LS50 Wireless speakers, which are bigger. The LSXs also work with the Airplay plugin, but I think I'm right in saying the DLNA plugin allows a higher bitrate. In earler versions of the DLNA plugin I had problems with playback not moving on to the next track reliably, but there is a plugin setting to force the player to move on which seems to do the trick with the current version. The LSXs can be temperamental to set up (some people will say that's an understatement), but once they are working they sound very good for a small speaker. stevebaggs's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=62476 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115333 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] 5g wifi speakers? sick of 2g squeezebox issues but still want to continue using LMS..
So I would like to start adding on to my squeezebox environment. I'm sick of dealing with wifi issues and rebuffering and the speakers being somewhat outdated now that I'd like to start thinking of how to slowly sift out of the squeezebox hardware. I still see myself using the radios and touch until the screens die as the weather and functionality is great, even if the sound quality is awful(it was good in its day). I'm looking for speakers where I can Bluetooth stream from my phone if I want, as well as see these speakers on LMS to be able to play right from LMS to the speakers. Audioengine and various others make Bluetooth speakers, but what I'm looking for as well is for the same speakers to show up on LMS without an actual LMS client. Are there are there any out there other than having to add a squeezebox client, is there a way through a dlna supported speaker to see it on LMS? kllngtme's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=30198 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115333 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
