LMS as a stream to Roon?

[Mike_Bullock]

As a way to get Spotify working with Roon, could we use LMS as a source? LMS has a good Spotify integration so if Roon could control LMS it could then control Spotify.

Look for mherger posts on threads on slimdevices forum on this issue.

I used the 5901 port because someone told me too. not sure why? Then rig…

Other have also being asking for this, which if implemented would help.

Roon as an output channel for other sources? Ugh, but maybe

@Danny What do you think of this crazy idea? So a friend emailed me some recordings, comparing his new upright bass with the old one. I wanted to listen through my quality headphones or the big speakers, so I started thinking of how I could feed that sound into Roon. I could RDP into the Windows NUC that runs Roon, and select the Meridian USB driver as the system output and start the mail program and play the audio – stupid idea in this particular case, I just saved the MP3 files onto disk on a…
