Re: [slim] does anyone still use squeezelite anymore instead of chromecast audio and if so why?

2016-09-11 Thread cdmackay
There's a Squeeze–CC plugin isn't there? I see the thread, although I've yet to try it. Given that, I would rather use my CCs that way, with server software with which I am familiar, rather than start again with e.g. Plex. All depends on how good the Squeeze–CC hookup is.

I agree, the server would convert it back to FLAC anyway. With some FLAC files there are issues with the compression used but that would typically rather mean playback breaks off. Your LMS version is old, the first thing to do should be to try to update it. --- learn more about iPeng, the

I wanted to add that in LMS interface the playing showed "0:00" time left for the song, but it doesn't advance to the next song. Whereas in iPeng it played beyond the file's actual length and showed 4:30 when it's supposed to finish at 4:00. Appreciate feedback from this community. Than you.

Hello My main music collection died last night (on a WD USB hard drive - one drop too many !). I have a double back up of this (another USB HD & an external, AC-powered HD), but this has been done manually over the years so am uncertain as to how accurate the backups are. Is there an easy way
