Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [HOW TO] Squeezelite player on Windows 8 step by step
Just a little feedback; This works exactly as described on Windows 10 Creators Update. Used nssm (64bit prelease build 2.2.4-101) and a batch file (used latest libmpg123-0.dll, also works fine). Syncs perfectly.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [HOW TO] Squeezelite player on Windows 8 step by step
Thanks for this tutorial and Ralphy for pointing me here ;-) I successfully followed the steps described in post #1 to set up Squeezelite via the command line. In my case I installed Squeezelite on a WIN 8 notebook (LMS runs on my NAS) and chose the ASIO driver of my external USB DAC (LHL GO2ASE). All good so far... even dsf files are played smoothly and synching between Squeezelite and my other player (a Pi2 w. PicorePlayer) works like a charm, too. I also tried the batch file approach but wasn´t able to "get a sound" via Squeezelite (either using the win32 or win64 binaries) therefore I removed nssm and went back to the "cmd" approach. Just one question from my side: is my understanding correct that once i started Squeezelite via the corresponding command that the command line window has to stay open as long as I intend to play something via Squeezelite? Or in other words: once the command line window is closed Squeezelite will be shut down as a player in LMS, correct?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [HOW TO] Squeezelite player on Windows 8 step by step
Thanks for the great instructions. Worked well on my Win 7 system. Is is possible to update the first post with newer info? - The Google code gives a v1.5 archived program, but development seems to have been moved to Github. - A Github page provides v1.7. - Forum user Ralphy provides newer, more comprehensive builds in his mediafire page but I can't post a link (maybe the forum will let me edit this later) Ralph's build already contains mp3 support. For the other builds, I copied the later version of libmpg123 (v 1.22.0) and saw no problems.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [HOW TO] Squeezelite player on Windows 8 step by step
I decided to remove the manual install of Squeezelite and installed the 'Local Player' plug-in via LMS. Can't believe I didn't know that was an option. From the Settings page I can change drivers easily. That side of thing seems OK now but I still can't get MP3 or Spotify working using either the MME or ASIO driver. I know this issue has been flogged but haven't found a straight forward answer. I understood the Local Player plug-in had MP3 support built in? I have unpacked MAD MPEG decoder on the player machine but don't know whether it needs to sit in a certain directory. Perhaps I am better taking discussion 'here' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?97766-Announce-Local-Player-plugin-and-Squeezelite-for-Linux-Windows-OSX) seeing I will stick with the plug-in installation. adamg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=62284 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100893 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [HOW TO] Squeezelite player on Windows 8 step by step
Thanks for instructions @sp1976 I have installed Squeezelite on the Mini PC (MPC) I've been playing with and everything is working well except Spotify and MP3 files. Playback is from the MPC connected to a Wyred 4 Sound DAC-1 via USB using proprietary ASIO driver. Control is via iPeng. When synced to my SBT the screen shows an an error with the file type when attempting to play Spotify, or MP3s from my local library. I am using the 'Official' Spotify plug-in. I have extracted the MP3 playback support as recommended / instructed but had to manually copy the libmpg123-0.dll into the squeezelite-win folder to achieve the same file list as shown in original post. I would appreciate advice to get Spotify functioning. I am yet to try a different audio output as I would prefer to use ASIO. adamg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=62284 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100893 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

[SlimDevices: Plugins] [HOW TO] Squeezelite player on Windows 8 step by step
[HOW TO] Squeezelite player on Windows 8 step by step This is my first step by step, written to help non-techy people to setup squeezelite player (all kudos to Triode for this great little friend of our Squeezebox environment). Prequisitions: I. You have LMS already installed (either on the same machine or separate) II. This tutorial is based on Windows 8 environment III.You have basic knowledge about Squeezebox and LMS behavior 1. Download squeezelite for windows from here https://code.google.com/p/squeezelite/downloads/list 2. Unzip it squeezelite-win.zip to your final destination for example native Windows download folder. If you want you can rename this folder to Squeezelite and squeezelite-win.exe to squeezelite.exe as well (not mandatory). 3. Do not try to run squeezelite-win.exe stored in your unzipped folder. You need to run it via cmd.exe (command line). Ill show you how in next steps. 4. To add mp3 playback support, install either libmad-0.dll or libmpg123-0.dll in the same directory as this file. Suggested by Triode source: - download http://www.mpg123.de/download/win32/mpg123-1.14.4-x86.zip from MPG123 - extract mpg123-1.14.4-x86/libmpg123-0.dll into this directory (the file is approx ~282k when extracted). Now your Squeezelite folder should look like this: 15558 5. In the address toolbar write cmd (without quotes) and press enter 15559 6. Now Command Line should open 15560 7. Your first step now will be to determine your audio output. In the command line write: -squeezebox-win.exe l- TIP: if you want to copy commands and paste into command line dialog box just use your mouse: copy desired text and using your mouse right button choose from context menu Paste. This will list all your audio outputs and should look like this: 15561 8. Ok, now very important thing we have to determine what audio output is your squeezelite audio output. Write down the numbers of your audio outputs; well need it later. TIP: If you are going to use external DAC, especially USB DAC you have to connect it BEFORE running l command for listing your audio outputs. 9. The easiest way to find out which output to choose is to follow these steps: 9a. Run your Logitech Media Server and if you have another Squeezebox player play any music. This will tell us that we have audio signal coming from your LMS. Now go to next step. 10. Now you should understand basic squeezelite commands (all without quotes!!!): -o this command tells squeezelite what audio output to choose -n after this command you can specify name of your squeezelite player -s this is command for telling your squeezelite player whats your LMS ip 11. Now well write command to start squeezelite: squeezelite-win.exe -o 7 -n SqueezeliteWIN -s 192.168.0.122 where: 7 is my audio output (in my case these are speakers connected to headphones output) SqueezeliteWIN is my squeezelite player name 192.168.0.122 is my LMS IP address 12. After running this command go back to LMS, best way is to open it via web browser. Now you should see your newly started squeezelite player. 15562 Now you should sync your squeezebox players. If you can hear music form both of your players good for you. No? Dont panic. You have to choose different audio output. Close the command line dialog box, and open it again (just like in the step 5). Now type (or paste) this command: -squeezelite-win.exe -o 7 -n SqueezeliteWIN -s 192.168.0.122- but now change the audio output number after -o command. Repeat, until you here music from your squeezelte player. +---+ |Filename: LMS.JPG | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=15562| +---+ sp1976's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=50758 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100893 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [HOW TO] Squeezelite player on Windows 8 step by step
Now Ill show you how to start your squeezelite player as a service (no longer command line needed to start squeezelite). STEP 1: Create .bat file 1. Open new text file using your Text editor. 2. In your newly created text file we have to place the path to where your squeezelite player is stored and the parameters you already know if you have followed the steps in previous parts of my tutorial. My squeezelite player is stored in default windows download folder so I need to put in my text file the following line: C:\Users\sptak\Downloads\squeezelite-win\squeezelite-win.exe -o 7 -n SqueezeliteWIN -s 192.168.5.172 3. Now we will save this file as .bat file. 15563 Save as - All files - Squeezelite.bat IMPORTANT: Do not forget to name your bat file with .bat extension #61514; Now we have .bat file we will use in the next step STEP 2: Run squeezelite player as a service 1. Please download NSSM http://nssm.cc/download . This tool will help us to run squuezelite as a service. Download current NSSM version and unzip it. VERY IMPORTANT: You cannot move this folder after running squeezelite as a service. I strongly suggest to place this folder in the place where it can stay forever or to the next Windows reinstallation #61514; 2. Now copy the path to the right NSSM folder (win32 or win64 depending on your operating system). For me the path is: C:\Users\sptak\Downloads\nssm-2.21.1\win32 Write it down. 3. Now you have to open Command line with administrator privileges in the right folder. Here is how to do it: http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/2754-elevated-command-prompt-open-windows-8-a.html You should see something like this: 15564 4. Now write -nssm install- 5. New popup window will appear: 15565 6. Now choose in the Path line .bat file created in step above. Name your service (Squeezlite or other name of your choice) and click Install service. Thats it. To be sure restart windows and you should see in your LMS squeezelite running. +---+ |Filename: nssm2.JPG| |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=15565| +---+ sp1976's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=50758 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100893 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
