[ARCHIVED - WON'T UPDATE] XSqueeze - Squeezebox player for XBMC
You'll need to give the full path to the squeezelite binary included with the addon. I think it is something like

~/.xbmc/addons/xsqueeze(something)/resources/bin/squeezelite-ia64

on a normal system. On openelec it'll be somewhere in /storage/ (Sorry i am not at my system now)

Lounge:~/.xbmc/addons/script.xsqueeze/resources/bin/linux # ls
squeezelite-i386 squeezelite-i64 squeezeslave-i386 squeezeslave-i64
Lounge:~/.xbmc/addons/script.xsqueeze/resources/bin/linux # squeezeslave-i64 -ls
-sh: squeezeslave-i64: not found

This is so odd, i can see the file but it wont run

NickR can you run it on yours?
Are you ok OE??

Am not at home now, but it is not in the path so you need to give a path. As you are alread in the directory where the binary resides it is as simple as
Code:
./squeezeslave-i64 -ls

Note the ./ at the start of the line.

ok so now try and run

./squeezelite-i386 -o hdmi (or whichever device you want)

If squeezelite starts ok you won't see much - go to LMS web interface and play music on the device....do you get sound?

If do, add

Code:
-o hdmi

...into the xsqueeze settings for command line arguments for squeezelite

You're getting there!

Ideally, get playback working from the command line in total first, ignore xsqueeze. Once that is nutted out just add the same stuff into xsqueeze

Full squeezelite info (e.g. hot to get it to log etc):

You my friend are awesome. Worked like a charm, Many Many Thanks!!!!!!!!

Now u say squeezeslave syncs better in a multiroom environment right. Should I use Squeezeslave because its better.
Reply
Well you will need to do similar with squeezeslave to work out the switches.

If you're in individual rooms, squeezelite is fine and may even be the better syncer - certainly it's the better player in general (e.g. spotify support etc). squeezeslave is much older, but some say sync is better -- so try both and see how you go!

Ok squeezelite works well that is uNtil i exit. It seems to be hogging my audio out and cant restore it till after a reboot. Any ideas?
Reply
in xsqueeze or outside of it?

(if xsqueeze, do a debug log but I would think it's a timing thing - xsqueeze trying to resume XBMC's AE before lite releases the device...

Outside if u mean after exiting. I went into xbmc settings then to sysem audio and try to change outputs but its locked. I will get a log to u after work. I think i remember there being a ticket for this issue but thought it was fixed in newer xbmc installs.

If its a timing thing is there an option to add an extit delay or something.

Not currently but happy to add one
