I'm afraid this will not work with firefox, only Chrome.

Thank you for this useful tip!

I checked this out and created the same "shortcut" in Mac OSx

1. First open Apple script editor
2. create a script with content "do shell script "/Applications/Google\\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\\ Chrome --app=http://linuxserver:9000"
3. save script
4. export script as program
5. open and enjoy your app ;-)

Can do the same on Ubuntu as follows...

Right click on Desktop and 'Create Launcher'

Type: Application
Name: Open LMS
Command: chromium-browser --app=http://192.168.1.110:9000
Description: Open LMS as Web App

Click on icon and change to, for example...

/usr/share/icons/matefaenza/apps/64/soundconverter.png

Beta Web App Wrapper

Hi All,

This thread has prompted me to develop a little VB.Net application to do what is being asked here. It uses the dotNET framework's WebBrowser control to render the pages using whichever version of Internet Explorer that happens to be installed on your system. It appears to work ok using the recently release stable v7.9.0 version of LMS until you go onto the View Albums page when all hell breaks loose (usually but not always). I don't see this behaviour when using IE11, only when using the embedded WebBrowser control. A second gotcha is that clicking the 'close' button at the bottom of the settings screen causes things to lock up so you have to close it the "normal" way by using the red X in the title bar.

If you want to give it a go to see if you have better luck than me then the binary is downloadable from here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3F...ew?usp=sharing

To use it, just run it with a command line argument that specifies the url. There is also a a second, optional argument to hide the status bar:

usage: WebAppWrapper.exe url [NOTSTATUS]

eg:  WebAppWrapper.exe "http://127.0.0.1:9000"
or:  WebAppWrapper.exe "http://127.0.0.1:9000" NOSTATUS

If anyone wants to see if they can work out why it crashes when viewing albums then the source code is available on request (pm me for it) but there isn't much to it really. I suspect the problem is with the WebBrowser control's internal rendering engine (which should be the same as ie11 in my case but obviously isn't!).

When you use the built in Windows web browser, you need to control which version of IE it emulates by creating a registry setting for your app. Otherwise, it will default to a very old emulation (IE 7).
So you would need to create a registry entry for your app at :

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inte rnet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULA TION



Create an entry [yourapp.exe] REG_DWORD 0x00002711.

Then it will run using IE11 emulation. That should solve your problem.

Googling FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION will give you more detail.

Mine is a variation upon that, using the Epic web browser (based off of Chrome) and substituted Automator to create both a Finder Service as well as an application from shell script. The picture shows the Automator flow settings.

/Applications/Epic.app/Contents/MacOS/Epic --app=http://192.168.1.101:9002 &> /dev/null 2>&1 &

I have LMS running on a Synology NAS located at a fixed IP in my LAN ... (LMS is at 9002 for me.)

In my experience, testing/running the flow within Automator will not reveal the actual environment experience. When I first did this I did not include " &> /dev/null 2>&1 &" and everything seemed fine until I tried to run the application I'd made or the Service. Automator's gear icon in the menubar would not stop, because the script was waiting in eternity for something to happen next.

 &> /dev/null 2>&1 &

Including that code at the end allows the script's output and any errors to be shunted and so the script ceases upon execution (successful or not?). It also allows the resulting target (Epic web browser) to stay running if/when Automator is quit.

And that's the entirely of what I know about scripting!

I know this is an older post/thread, but figured I'd post something more 2018 for folks that stumble in here...

As nice as this all is, the newly released Squeezelite-X is great, and is probably what you're looking for nowadays - in the Windows world at least.

Having said that, I would highly recommend looking into devices. I use both of these excellent apps - iPeng & Squeeze Ctrl (Angry Goat Software).

Since iPeng is for Apple DEVICES only, I would also recommend looking at Squeeze Ctrl/Control (Angry Goat Software), which is available in the Windows 10 app store (24hr trial/$4.49 to purchase).

I run Squeeze Ctrl on my Amazon Fire 7" tablets I got at Christmas time (3-pack 7" $75!, 8" $120!).
Both of these will obviously work with any player, I also bought their 'SB Player' because it 'auto-launches' with the app.

This solution results in a complete, portable tablet controller/player solution for a pretty damn cheap price!

I do wish iPeng would come out with an implementation for Android, because it is my 'first love' of these apps, but the Android infrastructure is just to damn inexpensive to ignore anymore.

Just my 2 cents...

In Ubuntu 18.04 (and probably beyond), the correct command is now:

google-chrome --app=http://192.168.1.110:9000 (change the IP address to yours).
