It seems to me that initial traffic sent by the LMS client is received by the LMS server, but that the traffic that is send back by the server is blocked by the firewall on the LMS client on Lubuntu. This would mean that the LMS server sends information from port 3483 to port 40162 of the LMS client, right? This is different from what you suggest, but it would explain why the LMS client on Lubuntu does not receive traffic from the LMS server, since port 40162 is blocked by the firewall on Lubuntu.ītw, UFW only logs traffic that is blocked. If I understand the UFW log file correctly, port 3483 on the LMS server is the source port (SRC=192.168.0.101, SPT=3483), and port 40162 on the Lubuntu client is the destination port (DST=192.168.0.100, DPT=40162). Squeezeplay for Windows connects to LMS on the Windows 7 server with ip address 192.168.0.101 without problem, indicating that ports 34 on the Windows 7 server are open.ītw, I am 100% sure about the ip adresses of server and client. I have Squeezeplay for Windows installed on the Windows partition of this PC, and Squeezeplay for Linux on the Lubuntu partition. Lubuntu is the source of connections so it will never received a 3483 or 9000 communication - it will make call from a random port number usually above 10000 to port 3483 or 9000Thanks for your help, but I don't understand.Īctually PC Athlon5050 with ip address 192.168.0.100 is a dual boot PC that can boot into Windows 7 or into Lubuntu. Windows will need port 3483 & 9000 open as it is Receiving requests - i.e. LMS is runnig on Windows so communication will be from Lubuntu to Windows. Suggestions on how to solve this firewall problem are welcome. After disabling ufw everything works fine again. The result is that Squeezeplay can't receive UDP traffic from the LMS server. UDP traffic on ports other than 3843 is blocked by the firewall on the LMS client. I noticed after retrying a few times that LMS actually sends UDP data to random ports on the LMS client.

Wrong interpretation: Even though incoming traffic on port 3483 is supposed to be allowed by the firewall rule, UFW still blocks UDP traffic on this port.Ĭorrected: The LMS server sends traffic from port 3483 (SPT) to port 40162 (DPT) on the client.

Please excuse me for this inconvenience, this is my first post on this forum)Įdit: The connection problem was caused by the firewall on the LMS client PC that runs Squeezeplay. (PS: Screenshots below are shown in reversed order. After this final screen there is no possibility to enter the IP address of the LMS server manually.Ĭan somebody help me with troubleshooting this connection problem with SqueezePlay on Linux? Since I did not get a chance to enter username and password for, I guess it is normal that SqueezePlay cannot connect to .įinally I get following screen that says "Problem Connecting". Maybe it does not see LMS and then tries to connect to ? Connecting to does not work. I would have expected that SqueezePlay first tries to connect to LMS running on a Windows 7 system in my network. After clicking Continue, for a second or so SqueezePlay shows "Connecting to ". After selecting the English language in the initial screen, Squeezeplay shows a Welcome screen that says "Let's get started by getting you connected to your network and music". The squeezeplay tarball is extracted to folder /opt/squeezeplay on my Lubuntu system, as instructed on the LMS linux clients page on SourceForge.Īfter starting squeezeplay.sh in folder /opt/squeezeplay/bin, SqueezePlay starts up. I can access the LMS web interface with Firefox on my Lubuntu system by entering the IP adress of the LMS server + port number 9000 in Firefox. Server: LMS 7.7.6, running on Windows 7 64-bit

Player: squeezeplay-pulse-7.8.0-1116-i386.tgz, downloaded from the LMS linux clients page on SourceForge (since this is my first post I am not allowed to insert an URL. I also installed SqueezePlay on a Windows PC in the same network, and in this case everything works fine. For an unknown reason SqueezePlay Linux does not connect to LMS (Logitech Media Server) that is running on a Windows PC in the same network. I am trying to get SqueezePlay on Linux (Lubuntu) working on my home network.
