Logitech Media Server (formerly SlimServer, SqueezeCenter and Squeezebox Server) was a streaming audio server supported by Logitech (formerly Slim Devices), developed in particular to support their Squeezebox range of digital audio receivers.
So before going further into this project, it should be explained what LMS exactly is.
#SQUEEZEBOX JIVELITE ANDROID#
I have previously experimented with using Android app SqueezePlayer on an old Android phone, and considered using this in place of an additional Pi module, but with the ease of piCorePlayer, and I have an older Pi collecting dust, it just seemed to be a better fit. The amps outputs will be bridged to provide up to 60W (4 ohms) to outdoor speakers setup around the outside perimeter. Outside - This Pi will reside in the garage area and during the warm months will be connected to the BSG amps that were used previously in my Xlobby multi-zoning project. This Pi has been updated with piCorePlayer 5 with Audio Enhancements Games Room - The Raspberry Pi in the games room will be connected to my good ol'NAD 304 integrated amp, driving a pair of Paradigm Titan speakers. The system will play out to a set of Signet fronts and center, Polk Audio R10's as surrounds and a JBL LFE Subwoofer. Theater Room - The theater room Raspberry Pi will be directly connected to the system receiver via HDMI.
This Pi is currently running piCorePlayer 5 now that the WIFI dongle can be easily recognized and installed.
#SQUEEZEBOX JIVELITE PORTABLE#
Kitchen/Living Room - Raspberry Pi connected to JBL Flip3 Bluetooth portable speaker system to keep a small area footprint. This receiver will drive to a pair of B&K speakers. Master Bedroom - Raspberry Pi connect to a Harmon Kardon HK385i stereo receiver. The expected equipment setup will be as follows:
Instead of running all the speaker wire, I have run multiple LAN drops to each location that go back to a centralized intranet system with NAS, so I figured this would be easier and cheaper in the long run. In setting up this new system, instead of dropping speakers into ceilings and bringing all the speaker wire back to a central point like I have done before, I'm keeping all the rooms/zones independent, and will be using Raspberry Pi's in their individual zone locations, hooked up to the localized equipment within that particular zone. The upper level is the Kitchen/Living room, and the top is the bedroom areas. The largest area is the ground floor consisting of the outdoors, Theater and Games rooms. Basically the house is split into three sections.
