Configuration

Logitech Media Server Address

This is the IP address or host name of your Squeezebox Server.

Logitech Media Server Port

This is the TCP port of your Squeezebox Server. Optional, default value is 9090. The server must listen to telnet commands on this port (don't confuse this with the web (HTTP) port which will always be a different one).

Username (optional)

This is the username of your Squeezebox Server. By default this can be left empty. It is only needed if your server has password protection turned on.

Password (optional)

This is the password of your Squeezebox Server. By default this can be left empty. It is only needed if your server has password protection turned on.

Track time update interval (sec)

Every N seconds the elapsed time of playing tracks is updated. Leave this at 5 seconds if you are not using this for visualization. If you need more precision, set it to 2 or 1 seconds.

States

The adapter automatically connects to the configured Squeezebox Server and creates the following states for each player connected to the Squeezebox Server.

The names of the states are formatted like this: squeezebox.<instance>.<player>.<state>

  • <instance> is the ioBroker adapter instance index (usually "0")
  • <player> is the name you gave to the player when configuring it (spaces are replaced by underscores "_")
  • <state> is described in the following sections

squeezebox.<instance>.<player>.power

Boolean, read-write

  • true: player is powered on
  • false: plyer is on stand-by

squeezebox.<instance>.<player>.state

Enumeration, read-write

  • 0: Pause
  • 1: Play
  • 2: Stop

squeezebox.<instance>.<player>.volume

Integer (0...100), read-write

Playback volume from nothing (0) to maximum (100) Be careful when setting high values (>50) as this might hurt your ears (or your loved ones')!

squeezebox.<instance>.<player>.muting

Boolean, read-write

  • true: player is muted (playback continues, but loudspeaker is off)
  • false: player is in regular playback mode

squeezebox.<instance>.<player>.pathUrl

String, read-write

The URL of the currently playing (or paused) song or stream.

squeezebox.<instance>.<player>.currentTitle

String, read-only

The name of the currently playing (or paused) song or stream. Can be empty.

squeezebox.<instance>.<player>.currentAlbum

String, read-only

The name of the album of the currently playing (or paused) song or stream. Can be empty.

squeezebox.<instance>.<player>.currentArtist

String, read-only

The name of the artist of the currently playing (or paused) song or stream. Can be empty.

squeezebox.<instance>.<player>.currentArtwork

String (URL), read-only

The URL to an artwork for the currently playing (or paused) song or stream. Should never be empty. If a stream is played, its artwork URL is used (see CLI "songinfo" tag "K"). If there is no artwork URL available (e.g. for a regular MP3 from LMS), the generic "current player artwork" link is used. To the generic artwork link, the adapter adds a "random" number to make sure the URL changes whenever the song changes.

squeezebox.<instance>.<player>.currentDuration

Integer, read-only

The total length in seconds of the current song or stream.

squeezebox.<instance>.<player>.currentDurationText

String, read-only

The formatted total length of the current song or stream. (Format: "[hh:]mm:ss")

squeezebox.<instance>.<player>.elapsedTime

Integer, read-only

The number of seconds the current song or stream has been played already. This value is updated every "Track time update interval" (see Configuration above)

squeezebox.<instance>.<player>.elapsedTimeText

String, read-only

The formatted time the current song or stream has been played already. This value is updated every "Track time update interval" (see Configuration above)

squeezebox.<instance>.<player>.sleep

Integer, read-write

The number of seconds until the player goes to sleep. Set this state to fade out and turn off the player with the given number of seconds as a duration. If this value is zero, the player is either off or not going to sleep; otherwise this player is going to sleep.

squeezebox.<instance>.<player>.buttons.forward

Button, write-only

Jumps to the next track in the playlist.

squeezebox.<instance>.<player>.buttons.rewind
