Problem solved, thanks to Ralphy and Find Any File. 

The following is posted as a courtesy to any who could use the info. 

The replacement squeezelite binary--or binaries considering I put in
more than one--went here:


Code:

~/Library/Caches/Squeezebox/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/LocalPlayer/Bin



They are much bigger than the 2014 binaries which were installed by
local player and don't include MP3 codec support. 

I had to change names to match what local player seems to expect.  And
there's a chance I bungled and mixed up the 64-bit with the 32-bit, but
here is how I changed the names to match:
-squeezelite-i386- became -squeezelite-osx-i386-
AND
-squeezelite-x86_64- became -squeezelite-osx-

Each about 2.5MB by the way.  A third binary, -squeezelite,-, 5MB I kept
-squeezelite-. 

And I'm pretty sure I didn't need to put in ALL those files, but I don't
care.  
I'm up and playing MP3s...and flac...and WAV, with Local Player on our
new/old Mac Pro with Sierra Server!

All hail open source and public forums like these!

This is fantastic!  would it be possible to give exact path for the
squeezelite-osx binary (as you did for the old lame in PreferencePanes)?
My Spotlight isn't finding it and it seems I'm easily confused, maybe
something to do with squeezelite vs squeezelite + local player...or
maybe it's within the same PreferencePanes path?

Many many thanks

Thanks!  I end up with a small unix-executable, "lame".  

I put it in this folder, 
~/Library/Caches/Squeezebox/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/LocalPlayer/Bin 

I did this because of what @triode wrote elsewhere, -"I'm being cautious
about mp3 codecs and not including them in the shipped binary - there
should be instructions in the zip of where to get the compatible decoder
library, just put it in the same place as the squeezelite binary." -

So now that lame executable  it sits next to libFLAC.8.dylib,
squeezelite-osx, and squeezelite-osx-i386.
It seems to have read-write-exec all enabled for everyone.

But when I restart LMS, and attempt to play an MP3 with localplayer, I
get the same error.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Spotty v1.9.0 - now with experimental Spotify Connect support!

2018-03-04 Thread radiowonderland

Hi, 

I've been looking on the relevant threads, but i'm still in the dark
about this.  

My LMS is 7.8.1 on OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on Mac Pro 2006 Mac
Dual-Core Intel Xeon 2.66GHz

Given the following, is there some clear info out there about
compatibility, for Mac, LMS version architecture, etc.?   Spotty does
indeed fail; more details on request of course! 

Many thanks:

-"I'm sorry, but your processor architecture or operating system most
likely is not compatible with Spotty. You can still give it a try. But
don't be surprised if it fails...

Operating system: Mac OS X Server 10.6.8 / x86_64

Helper Applications Folder:
Information is not avaialable. Please update Logitech Media Server to
7.7.6 or more recent."-
