Setting it up every time may be easier than you think. Termux has command history. When you open the Termux app, do you see an extension of the virtual keyboard? The top row should look like this: Code: ESC / - HOME ^ END PGUP (I used the caret in place of up arrow.) I do not recall if the added keys are shown by default, or if I had to change something in settings. In any case, if you have those added keys, tap on the up arrow. With each tap you cycle back through your command history, so after one or two taps, your squeezelite command should be back on the command line: Code: squeezelite -s -n Termux Tap the Enter key and squeezelite starts! I think sync is generally hit or miss when using Android devices. I usually use SB Player on Play-enabled devices, and sometimes it can stay in sync, but it often drifts. I think a lot depends on the specifics of the hardware. Some phones work better than others. Usually running latest beta LMS nightly on Raspberry Pi OS with virtual players (Squeezelite and Airplay bridge). Occasionally using SB Radio, Boom or Classic.

If you consider that too complicated, this solution is probably not for you. Good luck finding another way to use an Android device without Play Store access as a player! (Amazon apps might be an option.) But in case you decide to try it, F-Droid has exactly one app named "Termux". There are seven other apps named "Termux:" followed by some other word; these add extra features to the base Termux package, but they are not needed to use Squeezelite. So all you need to install is "Termux". Once its running, use its command line to run the following command: Code: pkg install squeezelite Once that's done, I use this command (again, at the Termux command line) to start Squeezelite: Code: squeezelite -s -n Termux The device shows up as "Termux" in the list of players on LMS.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Android Controllers and Players outside the Playstore
You're probably already aware of these options, but I hope there's some value in mentioning them here for people who find this thread in future uses. In the absence of a dedicated LMS player that you can install on an Android device, there are two options that may (or may not) be useful: 1. use any player capable of playing internet streams to play an mp3 stream from LMS. The process is described here (http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Remote_streaming). This was originally promoted as a way to listen to your home music library from other locations. This is strongly discouraged now, hence the dire warnings on that page. However, I am not aware of any reasons not to use this on your own network, as long as you do not open it up to outside access. And I trust that if I'm overlooking something, someone will point it out. 2. install the UPnP/DLNA bridge plugin, and install a client on your Android device. The only one I see on F-Droid is Yaacc. Others may be available elsewhere. Unfortunately, neither of these options will allow you to synchronize the Android device with other players. I hope this is helpful... to someone, some time!

Hi, I am aware of the multitude of Apps available through Google but I have not arrived at an App that I can install on a Google free Tablet. I guess you can simply create a shortcut on the desktop and point this to the IP-address of your LMS. But what about a player? Wasn't there once an official Logitech App? Where has it gone? It should be available through their homepage? dsm 6.2 (synology disk station 115) running lms 7.9.1 -- rpi with a hifiberry dac+ running picoreplayer (any old version?) -- nokia lumia running windows phone 8.1 and soundicity -- moto g peregrine xt1039 running cm 14 (android 7.1.2) -- zettaly avy running android 4.4.4 -- squeeze ctrl app streifenleopard's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=42019 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111420 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
