There is also " squeezeos" Logitech have a very good controll on exactly what's going on in thier Linux distro and also the drivers for the chips , this makes things much more deterministic . SqueePlay on pc does not sync very well in all possible hardware combinations re sound hardware and OS quirks ? But you probably can get the Pi+Linux+squeezplay combo fairly deterministic too if you controll all parts , possible problems may be the pi's audio hardware who knows if it can be deterministic re delays/lag with any driver or OS ? If you "lock" such a combo as "sync ready" you may still need to tweak some LMS code to make it work . Looks like a challenge for some third party dev :) not impossible but some work . It may get easier if you only use said raspberry PI player and no other kind of player ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96213 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
