I'd like to render LMS mp3 streams to my Windows 10 desktop (from my Linux-based LMS server). I've tried Squeezelite but it prematurely skips to the next track all the time, and I gave up trying to fix it.
I've just read that it is possible to stream from LMS to a web browser using a local URL - e.g. http://192.168.1.*1:9000/stream.mp3
I've just tried this and there seems to be a very long lag (maybe 1 minute?) between requesting playback on the LMS web GUI and playback on the browser. I also can't get skip/pause controls to work that way either.
Can anyone recommend a good way of streaming to a Windows 10 renderer in a way which can be controlled fully from the LMS web GUI?

Squeezelite really should work.
What was the version number of the most recent that you tried?
Could you try via Squeezelite-X (it is still Squeezelite underneath but is a modern one) - available from Windows Store.
Otherwise you could try SqueezePlay

I agree with Paul that Squeezelite should work without skipping. What version of LMS are you using on your Linux server? I recommend to use the latest 8.1 nightly build which is at this moment in time 8.1.2, which can be downloaded from http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/?ver=8.1. Also are you using the latest version of squeezelite for Windows? Latest version can be downloaded from https://sourceforge.net/projects/lms...zelite/windows.

Thanks for your replies. I'm running LMS v7.9.2. I think I chose to stick with that release because it's been stable for me, and I had problems with a later release that I tried (I can't remember which release that was).
I just downloaded the latest version from that link: Originally Posted by CJS

When I unzipped and tried to run it I got this (and the it never completed startup):

stream.mp3 via a browser works but is very limited

So I just tried Squeezelite-X for the first time in a while and, after triggering alot of "Illegal memory access" type errors the first time I ran it, seems to be working OK now. Those errors didn't occur when I ran it subsequent times. Maybe the A/V software was trying to scan it at the time??

For what it is worth, I experience no problems with the combination of LMS 8.1.1 released (or LMS 8.1.2 nightly) on Lubuntu with squeezelite-1.9.8-1323-win64 running on Windows 10. Originally Posted by itm
I assume that you are still running LMS 7.9.2? The error messages that you show, are these generated by squeezelite in its command line window? When I start squeezelite on Windows 10 by double clicking the executable, I don't get any error messages.
As long as you only want to play local audio files it is probably OK to stick with LMS 7.9.2. But when you want to play audio from Online Music services like TIDAL or play https internet radio streams, you will need to update to LMS 8.1.1.| LMS 8.1.2 | Squeezebox Boom | RPi0W + pCP 6.1.0 + HiFiBerry DAC Zero | SqueezeAMP |

Yes I'm running LMS 7.9.2. on Lubuntu. I don't want to play music from online sources, so I guess 7.9.2. is all that I need. Originally Posted by CJS
