Have there been any reports of anyone running squeezeslave on the Chumby (or in my case the Infocast 3.5)?
I tried both the precompiled arm binaries listed in this thread and they both fail to find any sound devices. I tried compiling from the source listed in this thread also but without success. The alsa build dies early with a call to patch. The oss build goes much further but ultimately dies. I know none of this info is detailed enough to be any help but my question really is - is it possible to get squeezeslave working on the Chumby or is there something fundamental that I'm missing? I've been mucking around with network audio players since the Netgear MP101. My kingdom for a low cost "dumb" client that just boots and connects to a server for direction. The infocast chumby is the cheapest thing I've found that provides wifi and integrated audio. I know there's other kludges out there using wireless routers with usb audio devices but the infocast is small and could be gutted and hidden fairly easily into a nice set of powered speakers. I don't care about an interface at the speaker end, a laptop or smartphone to control playback would be preferred. I got my wife a SB radio for Christmas. After years of upnp servers and clients the squeezebox approach was a nice change. Unfortunately the squeezebox line up doesn't really include an *affordable* dumb client with no local interface. The duet receiver (without remote) is the closest but it's been out of stock on the website for a while and now is not even listed so it appears that logitech doesn't plan on making it available. That leaves a gaping hole in the squeezebox line in my opinion. Sorry for the long post. Am I the only one that just wants a set of speakers with a damn IP address??? -- sodface ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sodface's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19057 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83362 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
