Squeezelite LMS power off behaviour

[agriff79]

Recently bought an Ultra to use with LMS. It’s mostly working as expected but getting some strange behaviour with powering off.

If I power off the client from the LMS interface, the WiiM stops playing and goes into standby, which seems sensible behaviour to me. But if I power off the WiiM using the red button on the remote it pauses the LMS client but does not turn it off. This has the effect of pausing all other players in the LMS group. It also means that when I start the group playing again on another client it powers the WiiM back on.

Doesn’t seem like intuitive behaviour to me, or am I missing something?

Could it be because the remote "red button" do not power off the WiiM, just makes it enter standby immediately?
Else it goes to standby, if no signal, after a while.

Someone with deeper LMS(Lyrion) knowledge will need to confirm/refute , but my understanding is that when you power off a device in your player list in the LMS interface it is not physically communicating with the player device. Its just a virtual power off making it unavailable as a player to LMS.
e.g. my Yamaha receiver is avalable as two distinct players in my set up as Airplay and UPnP.

"powering off" in LMS has no impact on the physical power state of my Yamaha



Ther are some specific LMS plugins for some 3rd party hardware control e.g. Denon

That's not the case, in my experience. I have several original squeezbox models and all will go into standby mode when the power switch is toggled on the LMS UI. Which is exactly what the Ultra is mimicing.

My issue is when I am putting the Ulta into standby via the remote. Performing the equivelent action on, for example, a Squeezebox Boom would inform LMS the client was switched off. Instead WiiM is pausing the playlist but continuing to report the client as active.

Regards your Yamaha, if you're using Airplay or UPnP then that behaviour may well be different to when using the native SlimProto.
