I have corrected all of my problems. --- I went back to a previous
release of LMS for Synology to
LogitechMediaServer-x86_64-7.9.1-166.0007.spk

I was on LogitechMediaServer-x86_64-7.9.2-168.0011.spk


Not sure whether it was a problem with the release or my install of it.

But I started CC Bridge and it worked perfectly the first time. I can
stream from My NAS, Tidal, Radio Stations. It's fast and responsive

So, thanks for all of your help !!  --

It should not be sluggish like that at all, unless you overuse your wifi

OK, this is weird. While waiting for another idea. I tried out the
player again, and it started working. This was about 1/2 hour of doing
nothing at all. I was able to stream Tidal, Radio Stations with the
Artwork showing up on my TV... Pretty Cool!

I was NOT able to stream music from my NAS However. I could access it
and sometimes add it to the Play Queue, but if I tried to Play the
track, it just ignored me.

OK, thanks. Some Progress. I can now see my CC Player. And I was able to
add some Music to the LMS Queue... Very Erratic, Sluggish and Sporatic.
Nothing will show playing however, despite my trying.

That is after I started running LMS on a Raspberry Pi temporarily.  I
could not get to the Settings Screen when running LMS on the Synology.

Thanks for your reply!

Yes, I can see the Device and can Cast to my TV 

I just disabled the C.B. Plugin again and re-started LMS... Enabled C.B.
again and then re-started LMS again.
Then I clicked on 'Settings' next to the Pluggin and nothing happens.

I still do not see the device in LMS in my list of Players.

Thanks for your Reply!

I never was able to see it listed under Players in LMS.

First I was not even sure where I should plug in the Chromecast. I
plugged it into my TV, as this was the only place on my network with an
HDMI Port.
Is this Correct or do I need to plug it in somewhere else?

When I first enabled the Chromecast Bridge (C.B.),  I was able to get
another Screen by clicking on the 'Settings' next to the Plugin.
However on subsequent attempts, by enabling the C.B. and disabling it,
clicking on the Settings did not bring up this screen again.

So, I am not sure of the steps I need to follow, Hardware and Software
on this.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Turn Chromecast Dongle into a Squeezelite Player? --- Possible ?

2018-08-11 Thread Cut-Throat


So, I see this Chromecast Bridge Plugin and I have this 4 years old
Chromecast Dongle, with an HDMI plug. Is it possible to turn this device
into a Squeezelite Player? -- I tried by enabling the plugin, and
failed. But maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree?
