@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.
