Logitech Media Server (Squeezebox) - Multiroom Wlan Speaker System

Re: logitech media server (Squeezebox)
hi all,
i want to highlight this again.I am not able to create a module because i suck in programming, therefore i request it ;)
I only can do a little HTML, and basic PHP.
With JavaScript from MM i really can’t do anything with that.I am building currently a Multiroom Wlan Speaker System with Raspberrys and Hifiberry soundcards
(like the very expensive Sonos or Raumfeld systems)The audio streams can play in each room another song or can be syncronized to all play the same.
Very impressive system.
The main server which handles all the stuff is the good old Logitech Squeeze Server which is now open source and runs
( in this case) on one of the Raspis.I would like to have a little module which shows
which song is currentyl playing on which speaker/room.Since there are already some node modules available (please see examples in the old thread), i guess it should not so complicated anymore to build a small MMM- package of it.
I just want to see on the Mirror whats currently playing and nothing more (control not yet necessary)
Anyone can help me with that?
-
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

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.

@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-aarch64Move it to the usr directory, and make it executable:
sudo mv squeezelite-aarch64 /usr/bin sudo chmod a+x /usr/bin/squeezelite-aarch64With 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=0I 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.
