Squeezebox

Setup with no display

• Plug in the ethernet cable and pull out the power plug.
• Do a factory reset. Point the remote at the display while pressing the ADD ("+") button. Plug in the power plug and count to 7, then release the ADD button on the remote.
• Welcome to Squeezebox. Wait 15 seconds and it will push right by itself.
• Language selection. Press right-arrow to select English.
• Set up networking. Press right-arrow.
• Choose wireless or ethernet. Press down-arrow once, then right-arrow for ethernet.
• IP address. Press right-arrow to choose DHCP.
• Wait 30 seconds. Press right-arrow to select your SqueezeCenter server that (hopefully) it will have found.

The timing isn't really critical. For the factory setup you have to hold the button pressed for (I'm guessing) at least 5 seconds, but if you hold it too long you end up forcing another factory reset after it reboots. The 15 seconds just means wait at least 15 seconds. DHCP negotiation usually takes only a few seconds, but I've sometimes seen it take 10-20 seconds on my network.

Factory reset, right, right, down, right, right, right.

stopping squeezelight and running the following works:

   bluealsa-aplay -d plughw:CARD=sndrpijustboomd,DEV=0 00:00:00:00:00:00

using the following radio url doesn't work:
