Thanks for clarifying. This begs the question if you have LMS running on a piCorePlayer should you disable the installed Squeezelite and replace it with the Local Player plugin?

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS + Squeezelite on same computer - workflow
With the Local Player plugin installed it allows Squeezelite local players to open the file directly from disk. When Squeezelite is directly connected it will advertise 'loc' as a format indicating local playback is possible, which the Local Player plugin provides the protocol handler.

There is no difference in the handling of the contents of the file or the performance in playing the file. IIRC LocalPlayer was sort of aimed at low power standalone systems (e.g. Pi1) - minimise network traffic. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116943 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS + Squeezelite on same computer - workflow
AFAICT from source code. If squeezelite command line logging for "stream" is enabled to INFO (-d stream=info) - it should generate log message when local files are being opened. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116943 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

SB_SERVER_IP needs an IP address - "file://" is an URL not an IP address so I suspect something else make it work. The URL "file://127.0.0.1:3483" is for internal use ONLY by LMS by the LocalPLayer plugin and the special "loc" audio type created by the LocalPlayer plugin - it is not for use WITHOUT the LocalPlayer plugin. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116943 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS + Squeezelite on same computer - workflow
Try pulling the Ethernet cable (or disabling WiFi) after everything is up and running. If the music continues (after buffer empties) then it shows that external network connection is not needed. If it stops ... then it doesn't really prove much because there could be all sorts of things that make it fail with no network.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS + Squeezelite on same computer - workflow
Thanks guys. I've updated my squeezelite config to: SB_SERVER_IP="file://127.0.0.1:3483/" Which works, as in music playback seems fine. I also tried: SB_SERVER_IP="127.0.0.1" and that works as well. I guess to really verify, I should take a look at a network monitor to see if my computer is sending data out and then also receiving data when playback starts. -Jim Jdubs's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4224 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116943 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS + Squeezelite on same computer - workflow
IIRC (tbc) The LocalPlayer plugin enables a feature that means a squeezelite on same system as LMS will play audio files from the files itself (i.e. using file path) and not use a network connection. If you install LocalPlayer you should update the version of squeezelite that is bundled with it as I think it is very old. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116943 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS + Squeezelite on same computer - workflow
It does go through the network stack on the computer. however, if you tell Squeezelite to attach to LMS via 127.0.0.1 (localhost) then it will not leave the computer. I suspect it does not leave the machine if you are using the 192 (or whatever) address of the machine but not 100% sure.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS + Squeezelite on same computer - workflow
Hey all I have LMS and Squeezelite installed on a computer. A question I have is, how is local music played? Does it actually go through my router with LMS "sending" it there (first) and then routed to my Squeezelite player which also happens to be on the same computer?
