Hi,

this tool sounds exactly what I'm looking for.
Unfortunately it can't get it to work. I have a RPi3 with Max2Play (LMS Server and Squeezelite Player), a PC with Softsqueeze, and a RPi with Kodi (Libreelec 8.0.1).

The Max2Play Server/Player and Softsqueeze on PC are working fine but Squeezelite on Kodi is just not working. When start Squeezebox for Kodi I see only 3 dots. In the LMS Web Interface the Squeezelite Player on Kodi is not found. The Media Tools add-on is installed. I tried to set the IP manually. Nothing happened.

Any Idea what else could be the problem? How can I check that squeezelite is started? Maybe i should try to set the path for squeezelite manually? Where can I find it?
I also made a new and clean setup of Max2Play and Libreelec. And by the way, with KODI on PC it is also not working :-(.

Thanks for your help!

If you want to use this on a machine which is already running an instance of squeezelite, you will have to tell the add-on to not launch squeezelite and instead you enter the mac address of the existing player you want to control. You can do all that in the plugin settings.

By default, the add-on tries to launch it's own instance of squeezelite so it acts as both a player and a control.
In your case this might fail because there's already a player running. Please check your logfiles if you spot any errors.

I'm a bit busy atm but I will make the plugin a bit more robust and add some informational dialogs so users better understand what's happening.

I was first interested if there was a use case for this. I really like it myself but I don't know about others.
