Did you uncheck the Autostart with Server in the settings of LocalPlayer plugin?
If not, it will start the Squeezelite with its parameters from the settings at the LocalPlayer plugin and not the settings used in the start batch.

Yes, I uncheck it, then I stop LMS, and I kill squeezelite-win.exe by task manager. I start LMS and finally I run start batch file to run squeezelite. If I want to go back, I check it back in LocalPlayer, then I shot down LMS, then I kill squeezelite-win, and I start LMS.
I may do some extra steps, but that is my sequence.

I'll look into that - thanks Aleg.
I have v19 loaded on the dedicated machine in my main system. Maybe a little bright, but I think its sounding very good, dynamic and detail-rich.
One oddity though, if I close the cmd window where I run the batch file from to start Squeezelite it stops the player. Running the bat again starts it again, on my main system (running W8.1). On my study PC, still running W8, I can close the CMD window and the Squeezelite instance remains active. I don't have any particular advanced parameters set on either machine.

On my machine squeezelite will be killed when closing the command window.
I prefer it that way, earlier I had to kill the squeezlite.exe from within taskmanager.
Now it is just easier to leave the window open, alongside the LMS control panel, and use a remote device to control the player.
See Lekt has just nicked my idea of disconnecting the console, he even uses the same code in the batch file to close down the process without acknowledgement, that's just bad form.
Must admit when I started trying to get people interested in the effect of software on SQ it was so that ideas could be shared not so that some scrote could mirror my every move and call it his own. I assume the Lekt KS lms player will appear shortly.
Got to ask why do I do this, I don't need to, there is no gain and now people are just taking the michael.

Yes, bad form on Lekt's behalf
Wait until JULF produces his version :)

For Digital Audio playback that delivers WHERE the performers are on stage but more importantly WHY they are there.

If he produces a linux version then that might be useful. Would need a damascene conversion for that to happen, which is a shame as he seems very knowledgeable about linux.

Gordon,
I don't know what to say here. I was probably most excited among all of us here, at the beginning, considering all the features of SL. But I learnt couple of things through this second episode.
First of all that MQn still rules (up until now), and second of all that I actually listen to the music with MQn vs jumping from track to track or from album to album, either on my phone or my remote web browser controller. MQn feels like a good old school, turn table and records. I wouldn't be disappointed at all if you finished 24 version of it, and from there you may want to try to make it to run on KS, or either a Linux version of it. I could live with it for long time.
It's up to you what you're going to do, but I wouldn't be discouraged by people like lekt or julf.
Thanks for your hard work!

uploaded squeezelite 19b, had the coinitialize in the wrong place, found 19 was quite soft sounding, this version has more detail and no softness.
must admit I love the sound of ks, that's why I'm persisting with it. It's a long time since I listened to MQn, but I just remember a constant battle to remove the digital noise, which I think was due to the wasapi wrapper. I really find ks to be more musical.
I would say 19b has some of the excitement of MQn.
Good glad you said that. Nigel helped me to get it working this evening and my first impressions compared to 2.71 was chalk and cheese. Jlp was as you describe it soft mellow,easy to listen to but not special like MQn. Went straight back to 2.71. Will try this new version and see how that sounds
