Have you tried out Felix's ShadowPlay plug-in http://www.gwendesign.com/slimserver/dev_software.htm ? It allows you to see/control a different Squeezebox without actually streaming the audio data. I have distributed audio thoughout my home from one receiver with multiple amps for the different rooms. I use one SB2 where the receiver is to stream the audio. I then have separate SB's in the different rooms that are linked via ShadowPlayP (the permanent version of the plug-in). This way I can see/control the source audio from any SB without any lag/streaming load. It really works quite well, especially now that I can use an IR emitter on the main SB2 to turn on the receiver/amps from the other rooms. -Greg -- GoCubs _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
