Mistakingly trying to play locally... about squeezelite HOT 5 OPEN

@forbesmyester when running squeezelite inside a docker container,
you'll need:
chmod -R a+rw /dev/snd/
or start your container, mapping your local audio group:

-u nobody:$(getent group audio | awk -F: '{print $3}')

from squeezelite.

Is there a way to skip this if?

Do you have the localplayer plugin installed in LMS? It's needed to support reading the files directly.

To skip that line you could use IP address of the ethernet adapter in the squeezelite settings instead of the lo interface.

Hi Ralph,

Thanks for your response.

I did have localplayer installed, but given that LMS was running in a docker container (I don't think) it had access to the soundcard / pulseaudio etc.

I tried using the -s flag but it didn't seem to have any effect and the stream_file:538 can't open errors still occurred (which is not what I was expecting).

I wonder if having had localplayer installed (during, but then previously) caused the issue?

@jpmenil good tip, and worth knowing, but as /dev is a virtual filesystem there'd (likely) be work to make those changes persist etc... Was really just trying to pull the music over the overlay / virtual network, which seems like an easier option.
