    Do I need SqueezeServer + Client

    I have never used squeezebox or squeezeserver.

    If I install squeezeserver on a PC outputting to my receiver, can I use this plugin for HS to control squeezeserver on that PC or will I need to purchase a Logitech Squeeze client which pulls music from my squeezeserver?

    You will need a client, but you can use the free SoftSqueeze client to output the sound on the computer sound card. I assume you intend to use the signal from the sound card to feed the receiver.

        I don't think Logitech sponsors the SoftSqueeze. I suspect it's a hold over from the slimdevices days.

          As Mike said, you will need a client to play any songs. As far as software players you can use SoftSqueeze, SqueezeSlave or SqueezePlay. If you installed the LMS Server, SoftSqueeze is accessible from the Extras menu from the LMS web interface (assuming it is enabled in Settings > Plugins).

            Can 1 PC provide multiple different streams of softsqueeze by using multiple soundcards or is it 1 PC per stream?

              Yes one PC can run multiple instances of softsqueeze using different sound cards. Check this forum; different users posted information abut such a setup.

                HI Big,


                To do this you need to use squeezeslave and set the sound card outputs.
                I run a .bat file to set this on pc startup.
