SqueezeCenter CLI
Port 9090 is primarily used for Logitech Media Server's Command Line Interface (CLI), previously known as SqueezeCenter. This service allows external applications and scripts to communicate with and control media streaming, playback, and library management tasks. While unofficial, it's widely adopted for remote server management due to its flexible command structure..
Port 9090 is utilized by the Logitech Media Server (formerly SqueezeCenter or SlimServer) for its dedicated CLI used in controlling media playback, managing playlists, and interfacing with player devices. Communication over this port typically involves plain-text command strings and responses, enabling automation and integration with third-party applications or scripts.
The CLI on port 9090 provides a comprehensive set of instructions to manipulate the media server, including browsing the media library, controlling individual zone players, and retrieving system or playback status. Since it only supports text-based commands over TCP, it is easy to implement clients in virtually any programming language.
Unlike the web interface served on port 9000, port 9090 is optimized for programmatic access, making it suitable for remote control via home automation systems or customized remote apps. It typically operates on the local network but can be exposed externally for advanced use cases, with caution.
