Lyrion Music Server is a server and, to play music, you need a client that acts as a player. To explain how to set up a new player on your Lyrion Music Server, I will use Winamp as an external player that is installed on my Windows 11 PC. You can also use VLC or other players. Open Winamp, then right click on it. A new pop up window will open. Click Play, then URL. Follow the instructions in the image below.

šŸ†˜TROUBLESHOOTING

Note: If you want to run the Lyrion Music Server container over HTTPS, check out How to Run Docker Containers Over HTTPS on Your UGREEN NAS. āš ļøRemember: if you want to use the player to play music, you need to port forward ports 3483 (TCP/UDP), 9090 (TCP), 9002 (TCP) in your router pointing to your local UGREEN NAS IP. It’s also mandatory to change the address at STEP 17 from http://yournasIP:9002/stream.mp3 to https://lyrion.ddns.net/stream.mp3
