Squeezelite-X is available in the Microsoft Store for Windows 10
(Version 1607+).

Squeezelite-X is a Windows 10 application that makes running Squeezelite
on your PC easy. Squeezelite-X combines the excellent squeezelite
software player (by Adrian Smith and Ralph Irving) with a dedicated
imbedded web interface to your Logitech Media Server, all accessible
from the windows tray.

Additional features include: WOL to wake your server, interactively
change output devices, ability to specify advances squeezelite
parameters, customizable tray icon menu, sleep/idle auto off timers,
media key support for your keyboard, custom browser zoom. The
application is multi-monitor Dpi aware as well.

This started as a DIY project for me several months ago, and was
developed with advice and support from forum members over in the DIY
area. Special thanks to Wirruna, oyvindo, Jeff07971, drmatt, bobbertuk
and others for advice and suggestions and testing (and most importantly,
encouragement).

Special thanks to Adrian Smith and Ralph Irving for writing squeezelite,
to mherger for all his excellent work on LMS and Spotty, and to all who
keep this technology alive. This is my humble gift back to the
community that has given joy over the years.

Hi Greg,
I noted today that the local SL-X player name appears 3 times in the
"Choose Player" pulldown list (and also on the LMS settings page under
"Players). Each consecutive name has a trailing increasing number (2),
(3), (4) and so on.
I suspect that this is a result from sudden crashes I've had with SL-X
(as I mentioned earlier).
Question is; How do I clean this up?
Restarting LMS or SL-X does not help.

Squeezelite-X will generate a unique Player Name if it is about to start
squeezelite-win.exe and the LMS server says it already has a Player
connected using that name. This is so that if you are running multiple
instances, whether on multiple PCs, or multiple users on the same
machine and the PlayerName was not unique, it will make it unique.

However, If Squeezelite-X terminated abnormally it could have left an
instance of squeezelite-win.exe running in the background. So yes, this
could be a result of a crash. Version 1.2 added code that eliminated
the issue we (well at least I) was having with wifi. Are you running
Version 1.2? V1.2 is in the store now and you can update to that (even
though the store listing has not yet been updated by Microsoft to
indicate Version 1.2 yet, the v1.2 package is what is there).

I also noticed this happening (squeezelite-win.exe left running) once
when I was shutting down Windows and the shutdown process got aborted
due to another program. In that case Squeezelite-X was shutdown, but
squeezelite-win.exe was not. I have a fix for this coming.

A reboot of the PC should fix the issue because that will shut down any
squeezelite-win.exe instances that may be running, or you can go into
task manager and terminate the tasks there. (If you do Task Manager,
Exit Squeezelite-X first, so you can safely terminate all remaining
squeezelite-win.exe instances) BTW, if squeezelite-win.exe terminates
abnormally, it may take LMS several minutes to realize and "forget" the
player.

What version of Squeezelite-X are you running?

Yes, one of the nice things about Microsoft Store is that it
autoupdates. I don't know how it works, especially while/if
Squeezelite-X is running, but it will auto-update. Its a Microsoft
Store thing.

Perhaps with the exception of the fact that not all my keyboard
mediakeys do work as expected. But they used to - some time ago. Now,
only the Play/Pause/FastForward/Reverse works ok, but the volume keys
and mute doesn't. They used to work with SL-X as well, but now they only
control the local player, and not the browser selected player, no matter

Squeezelite-X should have no impact on volume/mute as it does not
intercept those keys. Pay/Pause, Stop, Prev, Next are the only ones
that Squeezelite-X responds to. I'll take a look, perhaps I introduced
a bug as to controlling the browser selected player.

I'm sorry - I was under the impression that you had implemented support
for all mediakeys.
Any particular reason why you decided not to support the volume keys
(Volume seems rather essential, doesn't it?)

The computer already responds to volume/mute keys to control the
computer's volume, so that should work just fine without any additional
SL-X action for the local player. (Your volume/mute keys should already
work.) If I have SqueezeLite-X respond to the volume keys also, then you
would have the computer adjusting its volume, and SqueezeLite-X
adjusting the player volume simultaneously. I want to keep those
activities separate and I don't want SqueezeLite-X to prevent the volume
keys from performing normally outside of the Squeezelite-X app. I may
want to turn down the player volume without turning down the computer
volume and vice versa.

That is my thinking, but I am open to suggestions and ideas. Maybe a
different key combination to control player volume, like Shift-Volume+/-
or something.

I should probably add code to not allow two instances to run by the same
user. Another curious thing about updates is that after an update,
Windows forgets if you have put the tray icon in the visible part of the
tray. So after an update, the tray icon will go back to the hidden part
of the tray. Since you are not expecting that, it is easy to think it
is not running and run another instance. I have done this to myself
before.

Hi Greg,

first thanks for your work, your program is something I waitet for! One
problem: fiddling around on two machines, win 10 and server 2016,
squeezelite crashes when I try to play a 24bit flac, on every availible
output device (ASIO, WASAPI, WDM-KS, MME, DirectSound, whatever).

Is it a simple question of the correct squeezelite parameters, or an
general problem with squeezelite? Flew over the SqueezePlay thread by
ralhpy (not allowed to post the link by board rules) but honestly, as a
noob, I don't get the point there.

Thanks for helping!

If anything is wrong, I'm sure I did it. :-) The most recent change I
made to Media Key Integration was to not have the media keys registered
to SLX if the setting is set to "off". Previously, SLX always
registered the media keys and then just ignored them if the setting was
"off". The change makes the media keys available to other apps if you
turn them off in SLX. I have not been able to reproduce your problem.
Check your settings to make sure media key integration is enabled, and
press "Apply" just for fun and see if that fixes it. I've check my
logic to make sure there is not some pathway that SLX could be failing
to register the media keys and I have not found any.

You can also see the application log and see if media key presses are
getting recognized. Bottom right of Settings Page is a link
"Application Log" clicking that will open a log window. Press a media
key and see if it is reflected in the log window.

Another minor GUI tweak I made was this. Before, SLX would immediately
refresh the browser screen when you pressed a media key. That would
give the operator a bit of immediate positive feedback, but the downside
was that if you were drilled down on the left browser pane, you would
lose your place. So I removed the browser refresh and just let the
browser update the play/pause or now playing graphic on its own update
cycle which takes about 1 second or two or three.

I'm wondering if the way Windows updates an app while it is running
caused your issue. When a running app is updated Windows will kill the
app and then install the new version. I considered that when the app is
terminated this way, it might fail to unregister the media keys and then
the new version could not register them. So I tested this, and I did
not see this issue. I could not reproduce it.

That said, I am thinking that when the store terminates the running app
something might not be happening in the correct order or at all and it
might be somewhat random order. I'm going to research this.

Squeezelite-X just runs the latest version of squeezelite-win.exe in the
background. I have not tried 24bit flac, but if squeezelite-win.exe can
do it Squeezelite-X should work too, so I am suspecting
squeezelite-win.exe or LMS. You could try getting the command line
version of squeezelite-win.exe and see if it can play your files outside
of SLX. I'll look into it.

Remember, the traditional installer does not make Squeezelite-X

I'm looking at telemetry info on Squeezelite-X from the Microsoft Store
that indicates occasional crashes are happening out there. I believe
something might be going wrong relating to the media key integration and
the keyboard hook I have implemented to capture media key presses even
when the application is running in the background.

Has anyone experienced any crashes lately? If you have, I'd sure like

My client PC (a Dell running Win 10) runs 24/7 and SL-X is connected to
my LMS which runs in a docker container on a QNAP NAS.
I haven't had any isolated SL-X "crashes" in a long time now, but
occasionally, music playback randomly just stops. Often in the middle of
a track.
I use "Don't Stop the music" on LMS, and this may just as well be
related to that plugin.

My theory is that it could be possible for the application termination
sequence to terminate such that the Media Key hook could get called by
the O/S after the application's callback routine is unloaded. (That is
my theory, I cannot reproduce it). The result is that the application
terminates anyway, so it goes unnoticed. So I have replaced the
Low-Level keyboard hook I was using, with a simpler, safer approach
using "RegisterHotKey" windows API method.

I have also improved a feature some might find useful, that is the
mini-player. In the main browser interface, you can open a mini-player
by pressing a little button just to the right of the On/Off button.
This opens a pop-up window that is the mini-player. Previously, I just
allowed the popup provided by the LMS. The size wrong, and I never
liked the standard big title bar and the fact that it was white when the
mini-player did not have focus. So now, I intercept this call and open
a custom version of the mini-browser, with a smaller title bar that
stays dark, and is automatically sized correctly. Another change is
that pressing "Help" or "Settings" from the browser interface now opens
Help and Settings in a regular browser window. I did this in order to
provide full browser functionality when working with help and settings,
particularly search. All this is in Version 1.2.7, which I submitted to

Currently, if your LMS Command Line Interface port id is configured as
anything other than the default 9090, Squeezelite-X will hang because it
is expecting 9090. I don't know if anyone has had issues with this, I'm
not aware of any. I'm guessing 99.9% of LMS instances are using the
default port ids.

But, I am making this configurable on the Squeezelite-X side. A version
that supports configuration of the CLI port id will be released next
week, after I run it through its paces.

Just got home after a month away.
Loaded Squeezelite-X 1.3.2. Works perfectly, saw the port config option,
available if you want it but if you don't then it stays hidden. Good way
of doing it as the screen stays uncluttered.

There was a plugin update notice at the bottom of the LMS screen, so I
updated the plugin, restarted LMS but the update notice was still there.
Couldn't remember how to refresh Squeezelite-X so just closed and
restarted.
Is there a way (apart from close / restart) of refreshing the LMS screen
?

I might have read your post too fast. If you update LMS while SLX is
running, what will happen is that the server will be stopped in order to
do the update. SLX will detect it is no longer connected and try to
reconnect about every 8 seconds. When the server is back on line, SQL
will successfully connect. That will also trigger a refresh of the
browser.

But re-reading your post you updated a plugin and I'm not sure if the
message is referring to a plugin update or an LMS update. But it should
work the same assuming you have to restart the server to take the
updated plugin, so the same thing should happen.

What do you mean by "screen all smeary"?

Version 1.3.3 is currently in the MS Store.

Recent Changes include:

You can now define both the Http port and the CLI port to match how you
have your Logitech Media Server configured. Typically 9000 is the http
port ID and 9090 is the CLI port ID. These are the defaults fro LMS and
those are the defaults for Squeezelite-X as well.

Media Key Integration was improved. The original approach used a
Low-Level Keyboard hook, which didn't work well with Fast User Switching
(e.g. having multiple users logged in each running an instance of
Squeezelite-X at the same time. The new method is per session, so
multiple instances logged into same machine to not interfere with each
other.

Squeezelite-X will now not allow you to run multiple instances by the
same user session. Different users can each have an instance running in
different sessions.

I fixed a potential crash that could happen if you clicked on the tray
icon before the browser thread had fully initialized (< ~1sec).

I updated the browser dlls to the latest Chromium Embedded Framework
version.

I updated the credits tab to fully and more elegantly give credit to
Open Source Software used to create Squeezelite-X.

That's about it. I think I'll leave it alone for awhile, as I don't
have anything else I can think of to do.

Enjoy,

As you say in the Microsoft Store Squeezelite-X is at v1.3.3 However my

Jeff, Microsoft Store Apps will usually update on their own, but if yous
does not, then open the Microsoft Store app. In upper right, to the
right of the search bar, there is a "..." button. That brings up a menu
and there click on "downloads and updates". There you should see any
apps that have updates available. If that does not work, I don't know
what to say other than uninstall/re-install from the store.

I edited the first post as you requested. The link to the traditional
installer is there at the bottom now. It should work on Windows 7 or
later (not XP). Also be advised that the traditional installer does not
make Squeezelite-X auto-start on login, you'll have to add it to your
startup folder manually.

Thanks Greg,

I tried that but there was not that option in the ...

I just uninstalled and reinstalled was no hardship at all really. When I
uninstalled I noticed one of the "Download" versions on my machine as
well (I removed both) so we'll see next update.

Thanks for all your hard work though Squeezelite-X has become my default
control app now.

You are on the right track. Yes, all the players, including
Squeezelite, communicate with the server via port 3483. Having port 3438
blocked by a firewall is a scenario I have not tested, but I know what
happens (Thanks for including the log windows data). Squeezelite-X,
waits for a signal from the server that the player is connected before
loading the browser window. The reason I do it this way is so that when
the browser interface is loaded, the player will already be in the
player list, and I did not consider a case where the squeezelite-win.exe
process succeeds in executing, but not in actually connecting to the
server. So in this case, Squeezelite-X never gets the signal the player
is connected, so never initialized the browser window. When you
disabled squeezelite player, then SLX initializes the browser without
waiting for the signal from the server that the player is connected
(since it is disabled). So that is why the browser window loaded in
that case. So the bottom line is that the player is not able to talk to
the server via port 3438. I should add some logic to SLX to detect this
scenario and provide a message to the operator. I don't know the
details for your configuration, but you may have to configure settings
on the client firewall and on the server firewall, and maybe setup your
home router port forwarding as well to forward port 3438 to your server
(assuming you are coming in from outside your home).

You are very welcome. During development I considered the possibility
of removable output devices, so I added a refresh button next to the
Output devices combo box, so that you could refresh the list of output
devices without having to exit and restart. I don't have any such
devices to test with. But my intent is that you do not have to restart
Squeezelite-X. Did you try the refresh button? I wonder if there is a
way to code and detect when you turn your DAC on. I'll have to look
into that. Does output device number of the DAC ever change or is it
always the same?

I don't know much about WASAPI, but WASAPI doesn't work for me either.
I have read that WASAPI has two modes (SHARED and EXCLUSIVE). I'm
wondering if something else is using WASAPI in exclusive mode. I don't
know.

Yes there's a whole subculture built up around using WASAPI in exclusive
mode for best sound quality. My other player apps are set to WASAPI
exclusive, but none were running when I tried that in Squeezelite-X.
When I launch them they grab that mode immediately, and would complain
if they found Squeezelite-X already owning it. So yes it's a can of
worms and maybe you don't want to go there, but I suspect you'll be
receiving more questions about this.

I'm afraid all you are gonna get is existing underlying functionality of
squeezelite-win.exe which SLX runs under the covers. I thought I saw it
working for me before. I see that it works for others. I still suspect
contention with other process. In any case I don't have any code that
directly addresses it, I'm just passing along your output device choice
to squeezelite-win.exe and it takes it from there.

I see in the Microsoft Store telemetry there are 529 installed devices
so far across 340 users for Squeezelite-X. I don't know if that count
includes all installs or just those from machines that report it based
on their privacy settings. That is still more than I ever expected. I
wonder how many people total are actually running their own LMS servers
these days. I am still amazed at all the functionality one can get with
a $40 Raspberry Pi and the Squeezebox ecosystem. I feared it would die,
but it will not die. This is all so much fun. Though my kids think I'm
crazy while they show me their Alexa and Google devices playing Spotify.
My son-in-law says I am the ONLY person he knows that plays actual
Blu-Ray disks!

Here are the demographics for Squeezelite-X:

Age Group:
Under 17: 0.6%
18-24: 2.4%
25-34: 11.8%
35-49: 25.5%
50 and over: 57.1%
Unknown: 1.8%

I fall in the 50+ category. So looks like I have developed an app for
my own age group (mostly), haha. Under 24? 3%, haha!

Gender:
Male: 36.8%
Female: 4.4%
Unknown: 58.8%

Interesting that 1.8% of people omit their age , but 58.8% omit their
gender. Anyway I'm guessing that 90% of Squeezelite-X users are male,
assuming the unknowns are distributed similarly as the known genders.

I haven't tested WASAPI in squeezelite for a long time as I don't use
the squeezelite windows builds anymore but there is a 'windows 10 WASAPI
fix to the portaudio library'
(https://assembla.com/code/portaudio/git/merge_requests/4995123).

I've uploaded 'a build with the WASAPI portaudio change'
(https://sourceforge.net/projects/lmsclients/files/squeezelite/windows/squeezelite-1.8.7-1052-win10wasapifix.zip/download)
to test. There are no squeezelite changes in this build only a newer
portaudio library.

I tried the new version of squeezelite-win with the portaudio library
update. I ran it standalone and WASAPI didn't work for me. Log says
device is invalid.

24667

So I am not sure what the issue is. In my case I have my audio going
through my DisplayPort interface to monitor. WASAPI doesn't work but
Windows DirectSound does work and it sounds great to me. I don't know
what is going on with WASAPI.

Thanks @ralphy @rgdawson and @Jeff07971, unless we see more requests
here perhaps this is not worth further time, though I'm sure we'd all
like to solve the mystery of why WASAPI works for some and not others.

I'm getting good results with my ASIO driver, which I installed for a
different DAC (not connected now so not shown in the list, and
defaulting instead to the first DAC it can find). ASIO provides similar
benefits over DirectSound, and it's actually a relief not to have to
fully exit Squeezelite-X when I open another player or even try to play
a YouTube vid, as I'd have to do with Squeezelite in WASAPI exclusive
mode. Shared mode is probably the best setting for an app that lives in
the systray.

The user base skews male and over 50, huh? :-) Situation normal, and
I've been recommending this app to other Old Guys on other forums.

The WASAPI device needs to have it's shared mode default sample format
set to 44100Hz on the control panel advanced properities tab for the
sound card. That's the format squeezelite first opens the device with
and in shared mode windows will not let an application change it.
Squeezelite has no code to allow opening a WASAPI device in exclusive
mode. You would need to use the squeezelite resample option to force
all output to 44100Hz otherwise when you try to play a song that has a
different sample rate it will not play. A WDM-KS device is a better
option than WASAPI IMHO.

Hi Greg,

I reboot my NUC every morning at 5am. Every few days Squeezelite-X opens
itself up on the config page with no settings and no device connection -
the tray icon is not showing up blue! I have to enter Host Name (IP),
Player Name and Output Device then apply. It then runs properly for a

bobertuk,

What version are you running and is it the store version or windows
installer version? The log you attached shows an instance where it was
apparently successful.

When SLX starts up, it looks in the registry to get the settings. If
either hostname or player name are not found it will automatically show
the settings screen. Your description indicates that occasionally, upon
reboot, SLX starts up and does not find anything in the registry. In
that case you would see something like the following in the log:

3/9/2018 8:21:28am Program Start
3/9/2018 8:21:28am CreateBrowser Called
3/9/2018 8:21:28am CEF browser creation complete

Now the fact that the tray links are always there is weird. Let me know
what version, whether Windows Installer or Store version and whether you
have both or have ever had both. I'll see what I can figure out.

I'm running only the Store version 1.3.3. Originally I used the Windows
Installer but deleted that and started to use the apx version you
provided on OneDrive. When I first started to use the apx version I
think I remember having installed it alongside the Installer version but
ended up with two running instances so deleted the Installer version -
but that was some months ago and this issue has only been evident over
the last two weeks. I haven't made any changes to my running Windows 10
or installed anything new - although there may have been some Windows 10
auto-updates.

OK that is the latest version. I'm on the case. Have you interacted
with the LMS Settings Page, Player tab (via a browser)? I'm looking at
code that is supposed to react to player name changes, when made
externally from the LMS Settings through a browser or from an external
device.

I am familiar with Settings/Player and always make any required changes
via a browser. Haven't made any changes there for some time though.

OK, just checking, since I found some code there that if you even looked
at the SLX player there and the player name had a space in it there
could be a problem but only that SLX would think the player name changed
to whatever preceded the space. (Not your issue.) Somehow ALL the
settings on the SLX settings page are getting replaced with blank. I
can't reproduce it but that does not deter me, haha, I always assume it
is my fault. :-) I'll look at all my termination code and see if there
is a way this can happen.

Hi,

First, thanks for this awesome app. Really appreciate the effort put in.

I`ve installed version 1.3.3 from the windows store, and whilst its
working fine as a standalone player, when its synced with my other
players (2 radios, a duet, and a Transporter) the playback is quite
badly out of sync. All other players (which are a mix of wired and
wireless) are perfectly in sync.

This issue shows up on local playback and also via spotty.

Is this something that can be addressed on the client side with
settings, or is it a bug?

Give me a shout if I can supply logs or other diagnostics which would
help.

Cheers!

Well that solved the WASAPI problem. I had share-mode default sample
format set to "DVD Quality", which is 48000Hz. Changed to "CD Quality"
(44100Hz) and not WASAPI works fine. Thanks for that tip.

Its probably a good idea to ask the question here:-
http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?97046-Announce-Squeezelite-a-small-headless-squeezeplay-emulator-for-linux-(alsa-only)&p=723623&viewfull=1#post723623

Its the thread for the player that SL-X uses.

BTW Have you tried the command line version of squeezelite for windows
to see if that works ? That may narrow the problem down

You can set startup delay parameters per-player in LMS. Unsurprisingly
it's only well calibrated out of the box for native hardware players and
for everything else it's implementation dependent. In the sense that
Greg's squeezelite launcher can't get it right for you.

Hi Greg,

Settings lost again this morning 4 days after my original post on the
issue - which is about the usual time period between losing settings.
The complete log content before attempting to restart is as follows...

Bob,

I just submitted a new version to the Store (Version 1.3.4), so you
should see it in a few days, usually takes about 3 days for it to get
through certification and publishing. I've been looking at/for this
issue since you raised it. I have made some changes in the startup code
that might fix the issue. Whatever the issue is, I think it is
occurring the day before, or in the previous run of the app that is
saving blanks to the registry. I couldn't actually reproduce it, but I
have made changes to eliminate a possibility of saving blank settings.

Version 1.3.4 completed certification step over night, so if you go to
MS Store that is the package you get, even though the text on the store
page will take another day to get updated. In other words, you can
update to 1.3.4 now.

Hi Greg,

I've been using v1.34 then v1.35 as soon as they were available on the
store. Hadn't reported back yet as the issue only happened every 4 or 5
days. So far no problems at all so i think it's resolved - if it does
show up again I'll report back but it all looks good.

Just saw and realized I had not put the 1.3.5 legacy installer in the

I can confirm with confidence now that v1.34/1.35 has resolved this
issue. SqueezeLite-X has been running for 12 days now without
recurrence.

Sorry if this sounds crazy Greg, but is there a way to get SLX to behave
like a normal windows app? You know, old school - when I launch the app
it opens a window, when I close the window it closes the app, etc. I
know I can do this from the tray, but just wondering.

If SLX terminates, the underlying squeezelite-win player will terminate
as well, is that what you want? Assuming so, then I would add an option
to disable tray behavior. If disabled, then then I would have the app
completely terminate when the window is closed. I could code this, but
I'd want to think about it a little. The settings page is already a
little to busy and complex for my own taste. Anyway, conceptually, I
see a way to do this. I'll experiment with the idea.

Thanks for thinking about it Greg. I typically dont leave squeezelite
running all the time. I treat it more like an app that I launch as
required. As an example, I launch Excel from the start menu, a windows
opens, I do what I need to do and then I click on the X in the top right
when I am done. It doesnt hang around in the background anywhere.

This will not be that hard. I actually have in running in a prototype,
so after some testing and beautifying, it will (probably) be in the next
version.

New version1.3.6 coming, just submitted to store.

Changes:
* Added option to allow/disallow running in background.
Background/tray operation is default, but if you de-select this option,
then there is no tray icon and Squeezelite-X runs like a regular app and
terminates when you close the main window, rather than staying alive in
the tray.
* Simplified the Settings screen. I removed the Sleep/Idle timers as I
don't think they were much value added and I wanted to simplify things.
* Newer version of CEF library (browser engine). Nothing should be
different, but I might as well keep it up to date.
* New build of squeezelite-win.exe. Same version but Ralphy re-built
it with updated libraries.

As usual, takes a few days to get through the certification and
publication process. The legacy installer for Windows 7 is available at
the link in the first post in this thread.

I have not confirmed this restriction exists for the Store version of
Squeezelite-X. (Did you try it?) I have read UWP apps have this sort
of restriction, but Squeezelite-X is not really a UWP app, but rather a
desktop bridge app, so I *think* you will be fine with either one. I
just have not confirmed one way or the other. But certainly there is no
such restriction with the legacy installer. If you are running Windows
10, I would recommend the Store version over the legacy installer. It
seems to initialize a little faster, and updates are easier.

I have the legacy version now running on my WHS 2011 server where I also
run LMS and it works just fine to play music. I set up a scheduled task
to start it on boot. This starts SLX with no tray icon. When I RDP to my
server I have no way to change settings without a tray icon. If I start
SLX it brings up a (2) version. But, it does play music from LMS on the
same OS instance.

I guess if I want to make any SLX changes I would have to kill the SLX
instance that is running under the system, bring up SLX running as the
current user, make changes, stop the user version and restart the system
version.

Whew! I had to read that twice to understand what you are doing. It
sounds like your intent is to have a player running on the server, sort
of as a service and that you are not really wanting the web interface
control features so much on the server. I have experimented with some
different scenarios here. Before I created Squeezelite-X, I just
configured squeezelite-win.exe (the underlying player that Squeezelite-X
uses) to run as a service on the server. I got that to work, but it was
a little complicated PITA and required some third-party helper software
that helps you configure just about any app to run as a service. Anyway
I discarded that approach. Instead I actually have some other software
that I need to run automatically on my server in a user account, in
order to be able to access their tray icons. I resorted to autologon.
When my WHS2011 boots up, it uses autologon to automatically logon the
administrator account. Then the app (Plex, I think, and maybe LMS) run
on user logon in the user account. Now I know that sounds scary to some
folks, but the session is still locked and you can't get into it without
a password anyway. In this way, when I remote desktop into the server I
have access to these apps and their tray icons. I never log out (That
would kill the apps), I simply disconnect. The same would work for
Squeezelite-X, and that is probably what I would do. I also have my
WHS2011 server configured to required two-factor authentication (I use
Duo). So even though I never logout of the administrator account, when
I RDP to the server, it sends a code to my cell phone (2nd factor) and I
have to OK the connection on the cell or it won't let me in. All works
fine and I think this is a more convenient approach.

I have a "portable" LMS on a Win10 laptop that I use the 3rd party
option to run SL-win as a service. My main reason was to get rid of the
taskbar icon. I think I'll try your SLX on that laptop and get rid of
the 3rd party software to run SL as a service. Having another icon in
the system tray for SLX is fine with me. I can set a scheduled task and
trigger it to bring up SLX when LMS starts.
