OK lets get started first you need to download SqueezeLite for use with OpenElec. As the Logitech Media Server software supports playing zones in sync this is ideal.

And I wanted to be able to play the same music in the living room in sync with the kitchen room.

The reason I wanted SqueezeLite to run as a background service on the OpenElec HTPC, was because I also have a Squeezebox in my kitchen connected to a pair of stereo speakers mounted above my kitchen cabinets. SqueezeLite is still being actively developed and is the one you should be using. SqueezeLite if you don’t know is a Squeezebox software emulator, like SqueezeSlave and SqueezePlay etc. I have a 5.1 speaker setup on the AVR in my living room. Some background, my HTPC is connected to my Denon AVR amplifier via the HDMI cable. (See the update at the end of this post). If you try this and it works on Gotham please let me know. Note: I have only tested this on OpenElec Frodo V12.2 and not on Gotham, as I haven’t upgraded to Gotham yet. Not too much to ask for you would think and this is a ten minute setup in Windows however in Linux its taken me much longer to figure it all out.

Its taken me along time to work out how to do this and I finally have it setup and working today! So I thought I would write about it here on my blog, so I don’t forget how I did it.īasically I wanted to run SqueezeLite as a background service on OpenElec and for SqueezeLite and XBMC to use / share the same HDMI audio output device. I have re-tested the SqueezeLite player playback with the following types of audio files and I was able to play them all OK. Basically you need to update SqueezeLite to a later version it seems. I have updated the article below with the new download links and information! I seem to have mp3 playback working again, you can see how I did this here.
