When I say manually I mean executing through ssh and cli

So it looks to me that it is identifying the correct card and that it is having an issue connecting to the LMS server.

The server is indeed online. The IP address and Port is correct. In Xsqueeze I had to change the CLI port but it is not the default but I think this addon doesn't connect to the CLI?

Also your addon works beautifully on my windows box without doing anything but installing.

[skarragallagher]

I thought I would also post this. Not sure if this is just because it didn't connect to the server or what but thought it might be useful.

Great thread with useful information. Thanks

I'll check again later this evening and look for the multi media tools... Is this in your repo?

Mediatools is a package provided by Libreelec, I'm not sure if it's also on Openelec...
On Libreelec: Addons --> Install from repository --> Libreelec repository --> Programs --> Multimedia tools

That will install a recent version of swueezelite and needed dependencies.

So it looks to me that it is identifying the correct card and that it is having an issue connecting to the LMS server.

It's connecting with a mac address of of only zeros. Did you manually set that mac addrss in the settings ?
If so, please revert to default. It should auto detect the mac address of your machine and use that.

[skarragallagher]

I need to set the Mac address because my home automation system looks for these virtual players and I have extensive events setup using players identified by virtual Mac address.

I will try removing this Mac address to see if it connects... Eventually I will need to specify a virtal Mac address

Since squeezelite runs fine when manually executed I don't think this is the issue

So I removed the checkbox to manually specify the Mac address. Unfortunately it has the same result.

After I start your add-on it never really connects and doesn't populate the menus

So here are the logs from the Opelec (rasberrypi3) with this add-on. As you can see it detects the sound card and the mac address however it throws an error trying to connect to the server, saying the server is offline. Now my two other windows instances, I am just using the addon to connect to a player that is already running in the background. Where as this one I am having it start squeezelite when the addon starts.

The server is not offline and is pingable. Do happen to use the CLI port? or is that moot?

[nickr]

weird because it discovered the server a couple of lines earlier.

[User 224999]

It sounds like a bug. I will look into it

[skarragallagher]

Sure, let me know of you need any other details

First, a huge THANK YOU for this. As others have commented, this plugin has me 99% to where I want to be with a multi-room, synchronized audio system + all the visual goodies of KODI. Great work. I have one current issue; when Squeezebox for Kodi starts squeezelite, I've lost my ability to stream Pandora to squeezelite/kodi. The Player app throws an error message "Problem: Unable to play file type for station-name" When I start squeezlite via xSqueeze, it works perfectly, no error and I've added no special parameters to the xSqueeze startup. Any ideas? Some kind of stream-type parameter needed?

Thanks in advance.
