I am not sure what you are trying to accomplish with these batch files? Could we still manage things as we used to by web browser in settings, or these .bat's are must because you sized those options?
Were is this program coming from SQ12E0~1.EXE, there is nothing in bin that starts with SQ12. Do we need to download it from somewhere?
I am little confused here.

I think I got now, I went back to older version, so I could see how my KS device is named like, but I still do not understand where that "look up" program is.

there was a problem in the batch file change to -b 1000:2000 or your own values -b 0:2000 doesn't work

it's just the way windows shortens the path

use C:\ProgramData\Squeezebox\Cache\InstalledPlugins\Plugins\LocalPlayer\Bin\squeezelite-win.exe instead

the batch file allows other things to be run eg lms could be run first then pause then run squeezelite

with the new versions you won't be able to use web setup to change the settings

Ok so everything works as normal except for local player settings which we can adjust in the bat file

at least there's progress was getting worried

uploaded v18 of squeezelite, optimised streaming code, improved memory allocation and copying, removed logging and fade/crossfade. left pause, skip in, but they could be removed as well for best sq. Also removing dsd sections where I think it'll make a difference, so dsd won't play.

sounds better for that, quite a bit more insight into the music.

after listening a bit more it is very good, hearing things I haven't heard before and my test tracks for bright digital music are transformed into masterpieces. this in MQn would sound even better ie unbelievably good.

here you can check the actual KS device name (options also):

Code: Select all

c:\ProgramData\Squeezebox\prefs\plugin\localplayer.prefs
But I can't get through the batch file... I think it might be the LMS syntax issue because sometimes device name is quoted and sometimes not. I
I need to switch devices badly.

here is mine that works

C:\ProgramData\Squeezebox\Cache\InstalledPlugins\Plugins\LocalPlayer\Bin\squeezelite-win.exe -o "SPDIF Out (Amanero Technologies Streaming) [Windows WDM-KS]" -a 10 -b 100000:2000000


the latest squeezelite doesn't seem to output anything for listing devices so rename an old version of squeezelite to squeezelite-list.exe

and use a batch file with

C:\ProgramData\Squeezebox\Cache\InstalledPlugins\Plugins\LocalPlayer\Bin\squeezelite-list.exe -l

in it, beware that <> brackets in the cmd window may be ()

Tried every possible combination - still nothing.

can you post what your bat file looks like ?

are you still not getting anything out of the -l option, squeezelite will have to be stopped before you run -l

if I was you I would switch on logging on a version that works and select output and debug, switch off squeezelite and look at the squeezebox log directory for squeezelite and you'll see an entry for squeezelite starting with the devce name, use that with quotes round it.
