A further word on the above. Today, for unknown reasons, I have a stable squeezelite on HA. It’s visible from the LMS server, I can play anything from my system and watch prgress of track and album cover. There’s only one problem - there’s no sound whatsoever from either the USB DAC or the RasPi analogue sound out. Is it playing to HMDI? I can’t test this since I don’t have an HDMI to ausio out adapter.
I’m guessing that the problems arise from the linux implementation in the HA package - I’ve never had any problems like this on Ubuntu, Raspian or the piCorePlayer systems on Raspberry Pi’s 1-4.
I am using this addon with Music Assistant 2.0 (still in beta) acting as LMS. It found two squeezelite players. One is my Raspberry Pi4 from which i get music (also if the volume is really too low). How to know which is the second player?
And more, is there a good amplifier to use with Rpi running HAOS?
I forgot about this little plugin made 3 years ago
Do not use it anymore (went for Sonos), but a tip is to wait some time.
In my HA it came up after 5 minutes:
ah thank you, get it to work and was seen by LMS server now. there is “home assistant squeezelite” in player list now.
one more problem is I can’t hear any sound or music play from device.
I run HAOS on mini PC and just want the connect audio out to the speaker to play music. (I checked sound both from HDMI TV and Audio Jack but no sound)
what I have done.
VLC lan telnet, can play song but no sound.
Music Assistant not work on new HAOS update
mopidy not work as well
squeezelite client, I believe it’d work. ( I have tried manually install squeezelite client on RP 1b and it works with LMS but not for my mini PC that run HAOS on.
Hey,
I can see that “Home Assistant Community Add-on: Squeezelite player standalone” is tagged as “maintained no!”, but until now it has being working perfect on my system.
But maybe somebody can help me…
I run it on a rpi4, and it is not playing the music anymore, it plays a 1/4 of a second of music, and then no sound in 5 second, and then again 1/4 of a second of music. And so on.
I have tested the output of rpi with Spotify connect addon and that is working fine.
I have also tested with spotify via spotty, and I have tested with local music from the squeezebox server.
Anyone have any clue to my problem?
I have not tested the Squeezeslave for several years now, but it did work on first try, running Squeezebox server 8.4.0. HA and SB server running on Intel Nuc i3 machine.
In the squeezelite setup you have an ip for the squeezebox server, try to connect to it using a browser on http://ip:9000/ to see if there are any updates available. It could be something like that or the server needs to be rebooted.
Other plugins like Spotify Connect connects directly to Spotify servers and are a better option if you only use Spotify. Spotty will do the same as Spotify Connect, but with the SB server as proxy.
I recommend looking into the logs tab in squeezelite too, it could show you something.
nice to hear it still works, then I just need to get mine working…
i have tested the reboot no luck.
With Spotify Connect I can conclude that it is not the hardware and speaker not working.
The SB server is working fine with the others players (Radios and booms). But it is only a 8.2 server.
the log do not show any errors in SqueezeLite logs, but i’m not 100% master in reading it’s logfile.
I have also tried to reinstall the addon, but no luck there.
