Hello,

I urgently would need the option
-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

But when I set it for my max2play squeezelite player in the options settings, the service is not starting anymore.
I only get the Error message

Versucht zu starten … NICHT Erfolgreich Hier klicken für weitere Informationen

Option error: -G

Squeezelite v1.8.3-718, Copyright 2012-2015 Adrian Smith, 2015-2016 Ralph Irving. See -t for license terms

What can I do to use this parameter=?

Thnaks Erich

Hi Erich,

Your info in the yellow text should be more detailed.

The parameter should look like this (if you want to mute the output of AMP2):
-G 4:L

After saving, check the yellow text if it says „Error in GPIO Pin assignment.“

the error message was only like I wrote – see screenshot

But when updating max2play as well as the Player, now I can save the -G Option & start the Service 🙂

So solved – thX

edit – When starting the Player, the GPIO gets like expected „High“ – but when pausing, it doesn`t get „Low“ 🙁
Only when turning the Player off, also the Pin gets Low.

Is there a way to auto turn off the Player when pressing pause=?
Or is there a plugin available to run a script on pause? – if not how could I write a hook?

Hi eriche,

The parameter -C <seconds> automatically disengages the output device after playback is paused for a few seconds.
