Hello, I've tried getting a Squeeze software player run without being visible - here is my guide:
Requirements: SqueezeCenter running on a server with static IP address A PC A sound card (perhaps not necessary, but it definately improves the functionality) A little bit of free RAM (Squeezeslave is a tiny program - no worries) Download: Hidden Start from http://www.ntwind.com/software/utilities/hstart.html Squeezeslave from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=105169&package_id=176494 Unpack all files into the same directory. Create a shortcut to hstart.exe. Edit properties of the shortcut. Add the following to whatever is in "destination" - including quotes: <space>/NO CONSOLE "squeezeslave.exe <ip-of-your-squeezeserver>" Mine looks like this: "C:\Program Files\Diverse\squeezeslave\hstart.exe" /NOCONSOLE "squeezeslave.exe 192.168.2.150" Test it - check your task manager to see if squeezeplay.exe is running (or use Squeeze Center). If it works, it might be a good idea to drag it to the start folder in the start menu to make it run automagically at startup. I have no idea what formats the squeezeslave supports, but at least it plays FLAC and MP3 fine, that's good enough for me, it's all I've got. Bonus is there are no hiccups or strange behaviour as (I have) in Softsqueeze and Squeezeplay :) It can be controlled through web interface or duet controller or whatever you use. If you, for some reason, need to restart it, you'll have to kill the process from the task manager... There might be smarter ways to do this, but in that case I don't know them. -- mowa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mowa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=30142 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=64562 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
