Hi @jussi_laako one of the old Roon community members here (CrystalGipsy) moved on from Roon to LMS and has been developing some excellent LMS extensions over the last few months. His latest extension is called HQPlayer Bridge and creates an endpoint in LMS that allows direct playback to HQPlayer.
It works really well as I have been helping beta test for a while and now it is available as a standard extension, so it is available for anyone to use. It also has a nice live player view showing what is happening in the extension
Not sure if it is something you want to add to your web site as an additional control point, but as both a Roon and LMS user, I have found that I have been using LMS to play to HQP more recently than Roon so thought it worth mentioning here.
If anyone uses LMS you can find his extensions within the normal plugin sections just by typing CrystalGipsy in the search box
Thanks for agreeing to put that up, it will give it a bit more visibility and hopefully find more users and maybe entice some LMS users over to HQP as well. It has certainly increased my listening time with HQP over the last couple of months.
With an Eversolo T10 coming for delivery soon to feed the Gustard R30 I imagine I will do most of my listening with HQP and need to look at upgrading to V6 and maybe Embedded.
Thanks Dan I have read the posts and I am hopeful that it does not impact me as my R30 has been working fine with both 44.1 and 48 based playback with both internal streamer and Pi. At worst I have the R30 NAA and Raspberry Pi if needed and use the T10 for all my non HQP playback (though that feels like I would be missing out on features).
I do hope that Eversolo do push out updates to fix these issues though, as when you spend that much money you want reliable and updated software.
I’m loving this bridge Big thanks to the creator. I originally discovered Lyrion through this forum, and now having it integrated with HQPlayer like this is seriously awesome.
It’s my own custom UI called Rabbit Hole. I built it as a front end for music discovery and playback control, and I’ve recently added LMS/Lyrion alongside my existing Roon integration. The interface lets me switch between Roon and Lyrion, browse/search sources like TIDAL, SoundCloud, SiriusXM, Bandcamp, etc., manage playback, and still send everything through HQPlayer. The UI in the screenshot is Rabbit Hole, not an LMS skin or plugin.
@Darthspader that Rabbit Hole screenshot sold me. I’ve got the public RoonAI repo running in Docker on Linux next to Roon and LMS. Any chance you’ll publish the Lyrion playback piece? I’d be glad to test it, and I opened an issue on the repo with details.
Awesome, much appreciated! Also, made some GUI chnages, hid some tabs I don’t use, like the Visualizer. Also, reported a couple of issues/fixes on GH, hope you don’t mind.
