push.
Anyone can help and build somethin around this CLI of the Logitech Media Server?
Playername, Artist and Title would be nice. Artwork not needed

Noticed this topic is quite old, but I would also like a module for this.

The software might not be trendy like Sonos, but it has had a thriving community and active development for over 20 years.
It would be nice with a local network solution that simply shows what is playing on a perticular player.

Cheers!

I finally did it and KI helped me

for me it works. Maybe someone else still uses it .

Now the LMS is called Lyrion Music Server… just for the records

@barnosch

Thank you for this!

I’ve added it to my Mirror - works great! I will likely convert the language shown on my screen to English…

@Athlon
Very cool. I like that ! Then it already was worth it.
Yeah, feel free to edit the language part.

Maybe i’ll try to add a language feature.

@barnosch awesome. I am using LMS and it’s rocking cool.

With pCP one should be able to use the MM as a Squeezeplayer, too. That would be a pretty nice in combination with your module.

I am going to try that.

Best wishes,
Alex

@lxne cool bananas.

I really like it, that someone else still use it.
And that it works for you aswell.

I only use PiCorePlayers, but i have no idea why you would use ur MM as Player aswell.
Do you have touch?

@barnosch heart and stars in my eyes !!!

@barnosch I don’t have touch, but I can control lms/Squeezelite via my smartphone. I didn’t know that PiCorePlayers was a system, not just some application. So now I am using SqueezeLite on my MM and that works great. My MM is connected to an usb audio system. It now can play music from my lms and MM is displaying the title. Quite cool :)

This tutorial helped me getting SqueezeLite running on my MM (latest Bookworm 64bit).

Those were my steps for 64bit:

Create a squeezelite “work” directory and download squeezelite

cd
mkdir squeezelite
cd squeezelite
wget -O squeezelite.tar.gz https://sourceforge.net/projects/lmsclients/files/squeezelite/linux/squeezelite-2.0.0.1524-aarch64.tar.gz/download
# for newest version see: https://sourceforge.net/projects/lmsclients/files/squeezelite/linux
tar -zxvf squeezelite.tar.gz
rm squeezelite.tar.gz
mv squeezelite squeezelite-aarch64

Move it to the usr directory, and make it executable:

sudo mv squeezelite-aarch64 /usr/bin
sudo chmod a+x /usr/bin/squeezelite-aarch64

With my USB audio device the following commands works (there is more info in the tutorial on how to find the correct device)

sudo /usr/bin/squeezelite-aarch64 -n Pi4-MagicMirror -o front:CARD=MicroII,DEV=0

I don’t use it as a service yet (the steps in the tutorial didn’t work for me). So right now I have to manually start it after reboot.

@barnosch thanks for sharing, working fine for me on my “old” mm install with 2.18.0.

Kleiner Hinweis im repo ist für die Config Einbindung MMM-MMM-Lyrion statt MMM-Lyrion angegeben.
