Command Line Options for Squeezelite

Command Line Options for Squeezelite

Here you can see the different opportunities for the „Squeezelite Command Line Options“ in a ordered list.

 

 

Command Line Input Description
-s <server>[:<port>] Connect to specified server, otherwise uses autodiscovery to find server
-o <output device> Specify output device, default „default“, – = output to stdout
-l List output devices
-a <b>:<p>:<f>:<m> Specify ALSA params to open output device, b = buffer time in ms or size in bytes, p = period count or size in bytes, f sample format (16|24|24_3|32), m = use mmap (0|1)
-a <f> Specify sample format (16|24|32) of output file when using -o – to output samples to stdout (interleaved little endian only)
-b <stream>:<output> Specify internal Stream and Output buffer sizes in Kbytes
-c <codec1>,<codec2> Restrict codecs to those specified, otherwise load all available codecs; known codecs: flac,pcm,mp3,ogg,aac,wma,alac,dsd (mad,mpg for specific mp3 codec)
-C <timeout> Close output device when idle after timeout seconds, default is to keep it open while player is ‚on‘
-d <log>=<level> Set logging level, logs: all|slimproto|stream|decode|output|ir, level: info|debug|sdebug
-G <Rpi GPIO#>:<H/L> Specify the BCM GPIO# to use for Amp Power Relay and if the output should be Active High or Low
-e <codec1>,<codec2> Explicitly exclude native support of one or more codecs; known codecs: flac,pcm,mp3,ogg,aac,wma,alac,dsd (mad,mpg for specific mp3 codec)
-f <logfile> Write debug to logfile
-i [<filename>] Enable lirc remote control support (lirc config file ~/.lircrc used if filename not specified)
-m <mac addr> Set mac address, format: ab:cd:ef:12:34:56
-M <modelname> Set the squeezelite player model name sent to the server (default: SqueezeLite)
-n <name> Set the player name
-N <filename> Store player name in filename to allow server defined name changes to be shared between servers (not supported with -n)
-W Read wave and aiff format from header, ignore server parameters
-p <priority> Set real time priority of output thread (1-99)
-P <filename> Store the process id (PID) in filename
-r <rates>[:<delay>] Sample rates supported, allows output to be off when squeezelite is started; rates = <maxrate>|<minrate>-<maxrate>|<rate1>,<rate2>,<rate3>; delay = optional delay switching rates in ms
-S <Power Script> Absolute path to script to launch on power commands from LMS
-R -u [params] Resample, params = <recipe>:<flags>:<attenuation>:<precision>:<passband_end>:<stopband_start>:<phase_response>,
recipe = (v|h|m|l|q)(L|I|M)(s) [E|X], E = exception – resample only if native rate not supported, X = async – resample to max rate for device, otherwise to max sync rate
flags = num in hex,
attenuation = attenuation in dB to apply (default is -1db if not explicitly set),
precision = number of bits precision (NB. HQ = 20. VHQ = 28),
passband_end = number in percent (0dB pt. bandwidth to preserve. nyquist = 100%),
stopband_start = number in percent (Aliasing/imaging control. > passband_end),
phase_response = 0-100 (0 = minimum / 50 = linear / 100 = maximum)
-D[delay] Output device supports DSD over PCM (DoP), delay = optional delay switching between PCM and DoP in ms
-v Visualiser support
-L List volume controls for output device
-U <control> Unmute ALSA control and set to full volume (not supported with -V)
-V <control> Use ALSA control for volume adjustment, otherwise use software volume adjustment
-Q Sync local ALSA volume changes with Squeezebox Server Volume when using -V option
-X <gpio_button> Use a GPIO Button to switch between Play and Pause – works well with rotary encoders (Volume control) with integrated button for Play/Pause
-B Use to set PowerOn/Off Player on status of connected Bluetooth-Speakers (only for Pulse Audiooutput)
Attention: Does not work with „-C“ parameter.
-I <port> Squeezebox Server CLI Port (optional). Default 9090
-z Daemonize
-z <rate> Report rate to server in helo as the maximum sample rate we can support
-t License terms
