This is a modified version of SqueezePlayAdmin plugin from Erland to control Line-in on Squeezebox Radio remotely. (and may be others like Squeezebox Boom but not tested)

How to install :

On LMS server :

add this plugin repository :

Then activate the plugin "SqueezePlay Admin Client + Line-In control Beta"

On Squeezebox Radio :

Settings -> Advanced -> Applet Installer -> unselect "Recommanded Applets Only" and then install "SqueezePlay Admin + Line-In control Beta"

How to use :

Then You can switch to line in with CLI with these commands (00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx is the mac address of the Squeezebox Radio) :

Reminder for the CLI : telnet IP_LMS_Server 9090

squeezeplayadmin enable_linein 00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

Have Squeezebox logs when executing applets functions :

activate remote admin on the squeezebox, SSH -> root/1234 , then to see logs : "tail -f /var/log/messages"

Path of the applet once installed on the squeezebox (use WinSCP with SCP protocol) :

/usr/share/jive/applets

Official documentation about applets :

https://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/SqueezePlay_Applets.html

Modify and test an applet : use Winscp to edit then to test it is faster to restart squeezeplay process than restarting the Squeezebox :

bash/etc/init.d/squeezeplay stopwdog && /etc/init.d/squeezeplay restart
