Jivelite controling remote squeezelite? #16

Hi Ralph,

I just want to see if Jivelite will address my use case. (Sorry if Git Issues isn't the place to ask. If there's a more suitable place, please let me know where, Thanks)

I have my music served from LMS on a Synology NAS on my wired network. In my bathroom, I have ceiling speakers linked to a Pi Zero W, running PiCorePlayer & Squeezelite with a JustBoom Amp Zero - This is mounted well away from water, in a cupboard. I can control this well, using Squeezer on my Android phone to play music from the NAS LMS.

I would prefer to control it from my Pi 3B with a Pimoroni TFT 60fps 80x51mm touchscreen, in a waterproof mounting, near the bath.

My main concerns are: a) will Jivelite be able to drive this screen? and b) can Jivelite on the Pi 3B control a non-local instance of Squeezelite (ie, the one on the Pi Zero W)?

Thanks, Greg

Yes, jivelite can control a remote squeezelite instance. Depending on what OS you choose to run on the rpi and the screen resolution it could work. Please join the slimdevices forums at https://forums.slimdevices.com There's a plethora of information on using touch screens on the rpi and jivelite.
