Hello,

I've got an Raspberry Pi 4 with a DAC/AMP HAT that works when using Local Playback or Radio streams.

But the Squeezelite Settings are activated yet not reconized by LMS.
I do have a proper connection from the player to the server, that should not be the problem.

Quote:Haldi@player:~ $ nmap -p 3483 192.168.1.2
Starting Nmap 7.80 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2023-11-02 21:52 CET
Nmap scan report for NAS.lan (192.168.1.2)
Host is up (0.0016s latency).

PORT STATE SERVICE
3483/tcp open slim-devices

Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.14 seconds
Haldi@player:~ $

Using the Squeezelite-X app on Windows and using some Squeezelite-ESP32 boards do work fine. so i think it's not an issue from my server.
I've tried to restart Server and Player multiple times. No difference.

Sadly i'm not very well versed in linux troubleshooting.
So i'm looking forward to tips on what to try.

The symptoms suggest something external to moOde software for example a network issue, etc. I ran a quick test and it plays fine on my end with latest LMS 8.3.1 installed on MacOS Ventura 13.1

All moOde does is launch squeezelight. Everything else that happens is between squeezelite and LMS. To see if squeezelite has crashed run the command below. It returns 1 if its running and 0 if it's not.

Code:
pi@moode:~ $ pgrep -c squeezelite

1

FYI, I get the same results as @Tim Curtis reports. I ran my test with LMS 8.3.1 installed on a Linux Mint box.

Kent

Database Version: DBD::SQLite 1.58 (sqlite 3.22.0)

It seems like it "should" work. but just doesn't show up.

Wait a bit... is it me not understanding, or the two networks have nothing to do with each-other?
192.168.1.2 vs 172.17.0.9

From earlier post your config showed the Pi on 192.168.1.120 but server is on 172.17.0.9. Traffic can't pass between these two networks unless a route is explicitly defined.

I'm not sure the autodiscovery process works across net/subnet boundaries even if an explicit route between them is established.

However, if the route exists, then the squeezelite -s option may help

Code:
pi@moode:~ $ squeezelite -h

Option error: -h

Squeezelite v1.9.8-1317, Copyright 2012-2015 Adrian Smith, 2015-2021 Ralph Irving. See -t for license terms

Usage: squeezelite [options]

  -s <server>[:<port>]    Connect to specified server, otherwise uses autodiscovery to find server

...

Haven't tried it.

Just my 2-cents worth.

Kent

Nah thats just Docker!
The LMS is easily reachable from all other devices, including my PC via 192.168.1.2 (NAS) on port 9000 and 3483

as succesfully testet in my first post:

Code:
Haldi@player:~ $ nmap -p 3483 192.168.1.2

Starting Nmap 7.80 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2023-11-02 21:52 CET

Nmap scan report for NAS.lan (192.168.1.2)

Host is up (0.0016s latency).

PORT     STATE SERVICE

3483/tcp open  slim-devices

Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.14 seconds

Haldi@player:~ $

player is the Moodeaudio device on 192.168.1.120

so the two devices ARE capable of communication with each other.
It just doesnt show up in LMS.

That sounds like a great idea! If it's only the auto discovery that's not working then this should help.

Code:
Default: -W -D 500 -R E -S /var/local/www/commandw/slpower.sh

Already has the -S command with the shell script so i assume that stuff is Case sensitive?

it is!

Code:
-W -D 500 -R E -s 192.168.1.2:3483 -S /var/local/www/commandw/slpower.sh

so it was a discovery issue.

@tim Curtis
i Propose adding another explanation line with the -s command for direct connection to servers.
