If you could replace your cvs checkout with a clone of the git repository and build a *3.9.1* macos *SoftSqueeze* installer package without mp3plugin-1.0.jar for the community that would be greatly appreciated. What's the limitation of running Softsqueeze without mp3plugin? -- Michael

Squeezelite can run a script directly, based on the Power Status of the player. Look at the -S option...or -G if you want to use direct control of the rpi gpio. piCorePlayer a small player for the Raspberry Pi in RAM. Homepage: https://www.picoreplayer.org Please 'donate'
