Is there a way to discover via network LMS Server CLI Port ID

[rgdawson]

I'm trying to write some code to auto-discover and configure my client software (Squeezelite-X) for connecting to LMS. I can discover servers on my network and that protocol provides the server name and Json(Http) port ID. Can I use Json to ask the server what its CLI port number is configured to?

Not that I'm aware of. What are you doing that you can't do via the jsonrpc interface?

The telnet interface allows me to subscribe/listen to server events, like new song events, player name changes, player status changes asynchronously. It was the easiest solution. I would like to not use telnet, so I guess I am going to have to learn CometD and use that. I did not think there was a way to discover Telnet/CLI port, but thought I'd check.

I'm not sure it's worth the effort, in particular on Windows: IIRC the
Tray icon is hard coded to use port 9090. And I've hardly ever seen a
complaint about it.

Yah, just thought I'd check.

You can add ‘CLIP’ in the discovery packet request and it will return the cli port

My discovery broadcast request is eVERS\0JSON\0CLIP

Hehe... it's always good to know there are people out there who actually
understand this stuff :-D

That was just one time

Wish I knew that years ago, didn’t realize that a plug-in could add a discovery method.

Perl is incredibly hard to follow sometimes with all of its overrides.

It’s not a plugin addition in that case, it’s native in LMS
