If you haven't done-so already.... Try using the .cue sheet method along with some 'big' audio files on a USB connected HDD/flash driveThanks. Oppo 105D.
I’m using JRiver, so UPNP/DLNA.

Out of interest...My Oppo is a BDP83 and I cannot get it to play FLAC files in my efforts. I have been able to output Stereo FLAC to DAC through the Pi, but what I'd like to find is a reasonably priced DAC that has multichannel outputs so that I can run analog to my 4300. So far have not been able to find it. Closest I have seen is a MiniDSP UDAC-8 but looks like they stopped making it.
Can you set up another server that only looks at your surround library?Using this interface would be a very easy way to select tracks as compared to maneuvering through the Oppo menu.
I'm reluctant, though, to add my surround folders to the library and slow it down.
Yes! As soon as I can get a chance I am going to try that.Can you set up another server that only looks at your surround library?
I don't recall an LMS webGUI, is it new-ish? My LMS server hardware died a few months before covid and I haven't replaced it. I can't face having a server to maintain again, instead I bought an Oppo 203 and am in the process of putting my music library on an SSD for the 203... and I was able to use the LMS webGUI to access the surround directory!
As far as I know, the WebGUI has been in operation when the software was initiated. Access is obtained by the URL of the server with :9000 added,I don't recall an LMS webGUI, is it new-ish?

I was also put off returning to LMS since the iPeng control app appears to no longer maintained, and the LMS maintenance appears to rely on a very small number of people donating their free time given it is public domain. I'm concerned about how much life there is left in it.
That's interesting. I consider sync one of the most important features of LMS and in fact am listening to music that way right now.I never used multiple squeezeboxes synced (tried it and found the sync worked terribly)
My favorite is probably not that interesting to anyone else, but I use it all the time: A Dynamic Playlist to randomly play albums that haven't yet been played.Now if there's some killer feature I've overlooked that LMS provides please say so.
I was trying to sync my Duet Receiver on the hifi with either a Boom or SqueezePlay on my laptop. One end or the other would drop samples in a pretty obvious way every few minutes and it was quite obnoxious. All wired ethernet apart from the Boom.That's interesting.

Mostly I've found it works great for me, but there were two past situations when it didn't: 1. When one of the players was a Wandboard and 2. When one of the players was an old Android phone.
I remember having issues with SqueezePlay as well, even without syncing.I was trying to sync my Duet Receiver on the hifi with either a Boom or SqueezePlay on my laptop.

The important one for me was the Boom, and that wouldn't sync nicely with the Receiver. I needed wireless to the kitchen, couldn't get wires to it. In the end I solved that with the Dynaudio Xeo 3 wireless speakers, which are much more expensive than a Boom (more than I really wanted to spend) but they sound fantastic and work reliably. Indeed I liked the Xeo 3s so much I bought a second pair for my study, which is where I had been trying to use SqueezePlay.I remember having issues with SqueezePlay as well, even without syncing.
SqueezeLite on a Pi has been solid, though. Even when synced.
I wonder if the Receiver was actually the culprit. I've never owned a Duet/Receiver/Controller, but when I first got into that ecosystem long ago I read the forums religiously. It seemed to me that there were a LOT of complaints about the Duet. It's really too bad because it seemed like an excellent idea.The important one for me was the Boom, and that wouldn't sync nicely with the Receiver.
