OK, got a regular (HDMI dongle) Chromecast and hooked it up to my
Synology NAS. Installed the plugin on LMS and it works great - I can
stream my music to the Chromecast and it essentially functions like a
Squeezebox Receiver would. Even many streaming Tunein stations will
work (but not all).
Wow! Connected an old mac mini to my big HD screen and wondered if I
could find a really big controller for my Touch. Jivelite is now running
in 1080p. Logitech Smarthub for the remote.
Thanks!

That was a great link, helped me to get it going. I could connect an
Using 'original' Chromecast dongle, connected to TV HDMI.
Installed and apparently working (after some oddities with LMS crashing,
and not restarting until full server reboot), however doesn't actually
play anything;
It does cause the TV to display a blank artwork, under which [LMS to

It's also clunky in that there is not a single DLNA controller that is a
patch on the LMS GUI or any of the 3rd party control apps.

I have had a Squeezebox Duet for a few years now. I mainly use it to
play music stored on my PC, and occasionally listen to Podcasts and
Internet radio. I have two Android devices I use to play music, in
addition to the Duet, but I never use while house audio.

I was listening for awhile, but that's over. You now must subscribe to
stream from Squeezebox devices. No working free account. Same as
Spotify.

I know this thread is old ... But your messages & support saved my SB
from trash!
I encountered the same issue: no display but the red light of the
optical output still working ...
I had an old PSU delivering 5V / 2A. I only had to change the connector
and my SB is now working fine.
So ...
