Roon Bridge on Linux Desktop, working

Hi Georg,

You can use squeezelite instead of roon bridge. By default, it uses the system sound. You can enable squeezebox support in roon and try it out

squeezelite -z

On fedora I use this systemd script for startup in the user session. So, disable squeezelite as system daemon and enable it in your user session, uninstall roon bridge.

systemctl --user --now enable squeezelite
me@fedora:~$ cat ~/.config/systemd/user/squeezelite.service
[Unit]
Description=Squeezelite headless streaming music client
Documentation=man:squeezelite.service(7)
Wants=sound.target

Type=exec
ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/mkdir -p .local/share/squeezelite
ExecStart=/usr/bin/squeezelite -N .local/share/squeezelite/player-name
