Roon Streaming to LMS Support

Feedback Feature Suggestions

Hi,
you think it’s possible to LMS support in the future?
you can send streaming to logitech media center?
NO Squeezebox.

You don’t stream to LMS, it’s a server. LMS streams to endpoints just like Roon.

yeah sure, I expressed myself badly.
I intended to spend the playlist at LMS and this stream to squeezelite.
There are many users out there using squeezelite as a player.
With LMS it is also now possible to PCM conversion> DSD via C-3PO plug-in.
But surely it LMS as musicLibrary is not comparable to Roon, why my question.

4

Roon already supports LMS players.

5

I do not think this is possible:
roon> LMS> squeezelite
what I think is possible is:
Roon> squeezebox

and are not the same thing

6

Roon> LMS> SqueezeLite … NO
Roon> SqueezeBox …YES

7

Yes, that was clear, but my question is: in the future will be possible to have Roon> LMS> Squeezelite?

Or is something that does not interest the authors of Roon?

9

I don’t see that ever happening.
However I will move your topic to the Feature Request section of the forum.

Not Roon > LMS >Squeezelite

but I’ve definitely had Roon > Squeezelite working with the compatibility in Roon.

I don’t know why you would want a, redundant, LMS in the chain.

I would assume he needs to stream outside of his local network. LMS will do that with a couple open ports on his router.

12

That’s what’s got me confused too. Whilst Squeezelite isn’ officially supported it works perfectly well as a Squeezebox endpoint within Roon.

Let’s find out what the OP is trying to achieve here?

14

The situation is this:
Pc1 (player) linux + squeezelite (NO squeezebox)
Pc2 (server) LMS (makes converting pcm> dsd by C-3PO plugin) + Roon (audiolibrary only)

15

and what are you looking to do in/via Roon?

16

roon should only send the playlist to lms

17

Roon can stream to the squeezelite and can convert to DSD using the DSP if the end point supports it.

I still don’t understand why you want LMS in there

18

If you’re trying to stream from one PC to the other here’s what I would do (assuming there are no other devices on your network)

I would use Roon for library and streaming (it can also upsample to DSD)

As you have a linux desktop i’d install Roon Bridge (replace squeezelite) on that and you will be only limited in what it can output by the soundcard/DAC that’s attached to that PC.

19

It is what I want to do.

I am very well with squeezelite.

Wow, I thought there would be a legitimate reason like different networks but the reason is a real head shaker considering how well roonbridge works and how finicky and terrible squeezelite can be.

Better give roonbridge a try, there 0% chance of your request being implemented.

What we are struggling with here is why you want to keep LMS when Roon performs the majority of functions that LMS does and a whole lot more.

Roon will work with Squeezelite, so that’s not the reason. I was offering Roon bridge as an alternative as it is more fully featured but Squeezelite still works.

So the question is what does LMS do that Roon doesn’t.
