Listening to collection on other devices? - RomanM - 05-Oct-2022

Hi all,

Again, have read the FAQ, searched and browsed the threads here. Nothing obvious on what I gonna ask. It must be a FAQ, just point me to some guide please?

Snakeoil is installed in the living room, connected to DAC and Amp, etc. All works beautifully there! However, I am in the bedroom with an Ubuntu laptop. Can I install some player on the laptop, connect to LMS on the SO machine, and listen through laptop speakers/headphones? I am comfortable with controlling LMS via it's web interface on the laptop or mobile phone, Material skin is great! So LMS would be "pushing" content down lan/wifi to the player. Right? What's that player software called?

Thanks!
Roman

Looks like SqueezeLite is the answer. Seems to bind to the server and play, on Windows right now. Imagine the same on Linux. Problem (self)solved.
