Does anyone who’s a serious HQPlayer user want to help me with testing? Just started on this, but it’s very fun and simple vs other options out there. Lightweight docker deploy, allows you to manually configure or discover your HQPlayer instance, pick filters, modulator, and change mode/rate. I personally have gotten really tired of the core desktop controller that was shipped and the various iOS versions folks have released paid. Mine’ll be MIT open source fo sho. ![Screenshot 2026-10-02 at 2.03.37 PM](https://roon-community-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/original/4X/4/d/d/4dd55e85aa8fe757c3e787bbbc5742e1dc00a5ec.png) As with everything these days where you use Claude Code, it was, um fast. But I think it’s simple enough that even a non-dev like me can make it reasonably secure for an “only on your network” app. And dear lord why would you allow access for something like this off your network if you only listen to HQPlayer music while you’re by definition on your physical network. I think. Anyhoo, let me know if interested in playing with it - I’m not a dev, so not sure what I haven’t thought of! Haven’t added music browsing / services etc yet - because I don’t use them, I use Roon, or the phenomenal MusicD. But it obviously wouldn’t be hard. ![Screenshot 2026-10-02 at 2.09.38 PM](https://roon-community-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/original/4X/4/0/a/40a86a37163749447a2a99a91d899559ba38a6a4.png) ---

Hi Johnny If it works with Desktop V5 then i am happy to give it a go and do some testing and feedback. I have been helping @MusicD test his various Music tools and also with Simon test his LMS → HQPlayer Bridge so I enjoy a bit of playing around ---

Awesome! Let me make this deployable and I’ll get you a copy. This is fun! ---

I have had a lot of project testing on the go at the moment and I have been really enjoying it, this I think will be another fun project
