Squeezelite can't find lyrion

[r5yk5]

One of my Pro plus wiims can't find LMS. I've rebooted, factory reset and all the usual stuff. My other pro plus and ultra see it just fine. Obviously I'll raise a ticket.

I have the upnp bridge running anyway (for the minis) and I only use lyrion as a backup/messing about music source. It's not my main/daily music server. It plays my ibroadcast library only, no local music, no radio, no qobuz/tidal/Spotify, no music artist info etc, etc. It runs on a mini pc with debian server and plenty of spare oomph. Basically I just use it to play ibroadcast without chromecast occasionally.

My question is - for my use case is there any real advantage using squeezelite at all, or should I just use the upnp bridge?

Cheers

That's the relevant bit I guess, so the answer is, for my use case, since I have the bridge for my minis, I may as well use it for all of them.

If you group all your devices in the WHA and play to the group through Lyrion using the UPnP Bridge, all devices should stay in sync.

I have a WiiM Pro and Audio Pro A10kii (non WiiM) and find this approach only works if I group them with the Audio Pro as the lead device.
If WiiM is the lead, LMS plays only to the WiiM.
If anything I'd have expected it to be the other way round, it's odd. I don't know if a WiiM mini would have the same issue.

Are you using upnpbridge only with the audio pro, and relying on the Pro’s Squeezelite client? That would explain it as I seem to recall having similar issues trying to play to a WiiM group when the lead device was using Squeezelite

I’m sure @d6jg will correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t there issues with group sync using the upnpbridge plugin and native Squeezelite clients? Having said that, I seldom group my WiiM devices and am very happy with using upnpbridge for my WiiM Mini.

Correct. Don’t even try to sync a player using the UPnPBridge. It’s explicitly stated by the author as not possible.
