Volumio's site has no information regarding this, as far as I could see, although didn't check on their forum. So is there a way to get the Volumio server core running and fulfill all the dependencies, as in get Volumio running on my setup without going through with flashing SD card and all ? BUT almost everywhere it's being done by flashing the debian based image of Volumio on to a SD card and then setting things up from there.Īs you can see from above I cannot do that with my current setup. Now 'general wisdom on the Internet' is to go with Volumio.

I want to add to it audio streaming to it's job role, specifically Spotify. Currently it's running PiHole, Plex, Samba NAS, Deluge seedbox. All the other HW can easily be reproduced in a DIY fashion.I have Raspbian running on my Pi 4B (4GB RAM). Sure you could do a similar DIY but to get it as nice looking(wife approved) and battery powered would be tough. I have one in the kitchen that if I want the music on the deck I just unplug it and carry it with me. With a battery those little players have decent sound quality and make great bedside players or one to quickly unplug and take outside on the deck. I have always just used iPeng iOS app to control my network of squeezeboxes which is very nicely done but having a nicer web UI is always good.įYI - While I have 2 Pi players, the one logitech HW player I will miss with they die is the Radio (have 3 of them).

The one thing the original creator of Squeezebox did right was made the server software open source and as such even with logitech screwing it up the platform has remained alive.īUT my main reason for posting is I did not know about the Material Skin and this made me aware THANK YOU. Actually it did not support FLAC but supported WAV and the server transcoded it so the Slimp3 support FLAC too just not in a lossless format. I did not have the original Slimp3 player but had the first squeezebox (one made just after) since it supported FLAC and the Slimp3 did not. I have been using LMS well before the L screwed it up. Thanks for all your help, and hopefully you can all point the 'Sonos like home audio' questions to this or that thread for a while.

Then slapped Squeezelite on the Pi3b alongside room assistant, and disabled all the Mopidy, Snapcast, Raspotify stuff as there's no need anymore. LMS runs better on my Pi4 SSD with HA running alongside it (HA is in Docker) than on the Pi3b SD card on as pCP.

Then I downloaded the Deb for LMS onto my phone and transferred it to my HA pi with this app and fired up the old SSH to install it. Then I prodded Squeezelite (sudo apt install Squeezelite) because I had no sound, until I stumbled upon the linked thread above and got it working. What I actually did was install PiCorePlayer on another SD and prodded it to work it out, got that working. Then you just need to bang that into an iframe in HA (with icon: mdi:music so you have an icon) and it'll show up in your sidebar. You can then try each of them in the config with that extra line at the bottom, until you get sound.įrom there you should hopefully get to where I am with a fully working LMS server that'll connect to your Chromecast devices and your Pi's (I put Squeezelite on my second pi and got sound using the same method outlined above, which my server found immediately). If you type 'squeezelite -l' in your terminal it gives all your outputs. I installed Logitech media server and Squeezelite on my HA Pi following one of the many guides out there, installed Spotty plugin (for Spotify) and a Material Theme to look nice, and the Chromecast bridge.įor my Squeezelite instance this thread was the final piece to get sound on my Pi's which basically amounted to adding an extra line to the bottom of the Squeezelite config '-C -a :::0' which I have no clue what it is or what it does, but it works. I have managed to get it all up and running with some minor synchronization issues which I'll tweak over time. I'll just post my third edit to that post here to explain because I'm lazy: The Quest had been a long one, which ended with this cry for help in this sub.Īfter battling with Logitech Media Server, piCorePlayer and Squeezelite all weekend I finally got sound from my Pi's. I recently posted about my Quest to get Whole Home Audio with the hardware I have.
