Apologies if this has already been reported. I did some cursory searches but didn't find any matches. I didn't read all 15 pages of replies.
My setup:
odroid C2 running dietpi with:
main logitech media server
a squeezelite player
generic X86 platform running ubuntu 20.4. display manager is lightdm; window manager seems to be gnome-session-binary
pulseaudio is handling audio; output is over hdmi
kodi is running here
squeezelite is currently running as a systemd user service.
I tried letting the plugin start/stop squeezelite but turned that off to take startup/shutdown out of the picture.
settings.xml =
<settings version="2">
<setting id="disable_auto_lms" default="true">false</setting>
<setting id="disable_auto_mac" default="true">false</setting>
<setting id="disable_auto_squeezelite">true</setting>
<setting id="lms_hostname">lr-dietpi</setting>
<setting id="lms_port">9000</setting>
<setting id="manual_mac">d0:50:99:5a:1f:00</setting>
<setting id="output_device" default="true"></setting>
<setting id="squeezelite_path" default="true"></setting>
</settings>
The user service is running with the same parameters as seen when the plugin was kicking it off:
/home/kodi/.kodi/addons/plugin.audio.squeezebox/resources/lib/bin/linux/squeezelite-i64 -s 192.168.5.17 -a 80 -C 1 -m "d0:50:99:5a:1f:00" -n "Kodi (br)" -M Kodi -o default
squeezelite runs perfectly as long as the kodi plugin is disabled or not installed.
The two issues I have are:
1) the plugin stops playback at the start of every track. Restarting playback works. This is a showstopper.
2) the plugin shows the current track information, but tries to show lyrics ad nauseum on instrumental tracks. I disabled the lyrics addon. With the lyrics addon gone, the squeezebox plugin switches to a blank screen after showing the track information for about 5 seconds. This is where it would try to display lyrics. Another show stopper: if I can't see the current track, what is the point of having the plugin?
