You are right, if I use the DLNA client in my TV the caching is much longer.

Using the DLNA server does not help with clients that don't have a display and does not work with the Squeezebox Remote or the server side web interface, and that is exactly why I like the LMS so much in the first place... I think I have to write a plugin that acts as a DLNA Media Controller. It should do the following: - Search for DMR in the network - Add a Slim::Player instance for each (cofigurable) DMR - Play and control the replay of the music titles provided by the UPnP/DLNA plugin on the DMR (not sure if syncing is possible) I found a very nice perl script (https://github.com/amgorb/simple-DLNA-remote-controller/blob/master/start_tvshow.pl) that does all this (not completely, but already close) and if somebody could help me to integrate this into the LMS or point me to some howtos how to integrate it into a plugin I would be very happy. At least on the DMR I tested it is already possible to control the volume I think also feedback about the position (timecode) within the played file is possible. I think I will start with modifying the DMC script and see if it is possible to control the DMRs and have a closer look on one of the example plugins. I am sure I will come back to ask for more information. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ HellG's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=59682 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98602 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
