Manually point Squeezelite-esp32 to a different LMS network subnet?

[NonaSuomy]

Does anyone know how to point Logitech Media Server (docker) 10.42.42. at a different IP range (wifi) 10.13.37. where the squeezelite-esp32 exists?

Or Squeezelite-esp32 to where the LMS is?

Thank you.

I recommend you check either in the LMS forums, or that you ask the question to the owner of the docket image you are running. I am not using such image, so I can't help.

What do you use? The owner of the docker image is Logitech I believe https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver-platforms/tree/public/8.3/Docker

Is there anyway to tell squeezelite-esp32 where the LMS server is manually?

[daduke]

you mean like -s 192.168.0.1?

@daduke thanks for commenting. Where would you enter this into squeezelite-esp32 webui?

Found this on a random site with your nudge in the right direction. Not sure where the official documentation is for it:

-G <Rpi GPIO#>:<H/L> Specify the BCM GPIO# to use for Amp Power Relay and if the output should be Active High or Low

-f <logfile> Write debug to logfile
-i [<filename>] Enable lirc remote control support (lirc config file ~/.lircrc used if filename not specified)
-m <mac addr> Set mac address, format: ab:cd:ef:12:34:56
-M <modelname> Set the squeezelite player model name sent to the server (default: SqueezeLite)
-n <name> Set the player name
-N <filename> Store player name in filename to allow server defined name changes to be shared between servers (not supported with -n)
-W Read wave and aiff format from header, ignore server parameters
-p <priority> Set real time priority of output thread (1-99)
-P <filename> Store the process id (PID) in filename
-r <rates>[:<delay>] Sample rates supported, allows output to be off when squeezelite is started; rates = <maxrate>\|<minrate>-<maxrate>\|<rate1>,<rate2>,<rate3>; delay = optional delay switching rates in ms
-S <Power Script> Absolute path to script to launch on power commands from LMS

Under NVS Editor I put the IP:Port of the LMS server autoexec1:

squeezelite -b 500:2000 -d all=info -C 30 -W -n "squeezelite-face01" -o I2S -s 10.42.42.64:9000

It still didn't connect so I tried to edit these settings on the LMS server LMS-Server -> Server Settings -> Security -> Allowed IP Addresses: 10.42.42.64,10.13.37.*

[daduke]

yes autoexec1 is correct. If it still won't connect, something's iffy in your network.

[NonaSuomy]

Thank you for confirming that. Is the port correct? I noticed there are other ports listed what are they for?

LMS default is 9000, as for the others: https://superuser.com/questions/1442385/which-ports-must-be-open-on-the-server-to-use-logitech-media-server-lms-for-sq

[NonaSuomy]

So should I be pointing the player device at "3483 TCP: Physical Squeezebox" instead of "9000 TCP: Web GUI" or maybe just leave the port blank as it seems to notation that it's optional?

squeezelite -b 500:2000 -d all=info -C 30 -W -n "squeezelite-face01" -o I2S -s 10.42.42.64:3483

So after pointing it at 3483 it picked it up right away. Now I just have to understand why no sound is playing with the volume at max... n/m looks like it was just some of the radio stations are broken. Switched to another then it spouted to life. Also tested not adding a port and it still worked.

Thanks for your help @daduke

Thanks, adding -s ip helped with discovery in home assistant. It seems it's not needed for later usage. I noticed, it keeps dissapearing from the input box after reboot
