And yes, of course Whitebear talks to LMS/SBS (it uses the "CLI" interface)

The Control Point sends UPnP/DLNA player commands to Whitebear, which in turn sends CLI commands to LMS/SBS, which in turn sends low level proprietray commands to the players. If the command is "play this Url" then the Squeezebox may contact the remote server and download and play that track.

Although UPnP advertisements are sent on all interfaces and there is no function to disable that. And UPnP/DLNA transcoding works by the server (Whitebear) "offerring" multiple formats, and the client selecting its preferred choice from those offers; so the configuration just determines which formats are offerred in which order. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ AndrewFG's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15838 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90842 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
