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

1. Even now that my old NAS hosting DLNA is decommissioned, I still sometimes find my WiiM disappears from Lyrion as a player. This is fixed by rebooting the WiiM. I still haven't worked out exactly what causes it, as it seems inconsistent.

I had the same issue with my WiiM. In my case I isolated it to streaming certain FLAC radio stations (Radio Calico, I think was one) when one song changed to the next Squeezelite would crash, it would disappear from LMS and only a power cycle of the WiiM would bring it back.

Yup IIRC some FLAC streams with embedded metadata cause the WiiM version of Squeezelite to crash.
