LMS is being hosted w/in a Vortexbox. How are you creating the stream on VLC ? Give the full command line. LMS will require either a suffix or a MIME type in the stream from VLC - just an URL ending with a port number will not work. IIRC (adn this was a few years ago) only VLC MP3 stream used to work - VLC couldn't put Flac in an acceptable transport protocol. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109256 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Accessing VLC music stream on LAN with Squeezebox
Hello - I am simply "buffaloed" as to how to get LMS to playback a VLC music stream, which is being hosted locally. I am sending the stream out from one computer on the home network. I can play the stream on another computer on the home network with VLC as client - no problems there, so URL etc are correct. ( http://10.209.162.139:8080 ) For some reason, I cannot access the stream from either Windows Media Player or Squeezebox via LMS using the same computer on the home network. I have tried entering the URL into the Tune In URL page in Squeezebox, and there is no error ... it seems to "play" for about 15 seconds (no sound), and then stop. LMS is being hosted w/in a Vortexbox. My server information : Logitech Media Server Version: 7.9.1 - 0.7.20180404git1522249619 @ Mon May 14 10:51:59 EDT 2018 Many thanks for any help/guidance you might provide ...
