He has done the first part of this brilliantly, taking the stream from LMS such that it can be controlled by the usual LMS browser. He has also done the probably much harder part of getting squeezelite to output to myriad audio devices of varying qualities and specifications, and everyone loves it. I was hoping that streaming via http/UPnP would be relatively simple, but I am no doubt being naive.
I am no salesman, as is no doubt apparent. Having started programming 43 years ago, but pretty well stopped around 20 years ago (when the IT world was an awful lot simpler than it is now and you could control almost all of it should you so wish), I doubt I could learn enough myself now. LMS 7.9 on VortexBox Midi running Xubuntu 14.04, FLACs 16->24 bit, 44.1->192kbps. Wired Touch + EDO, coax to Musical Fidelity M1 CLiC. Wireless Xubuntu 14.04 laptop controls LMS via Chromium. Meridian Explorer USB DAC to listen via Squeezelite on Vortexbox & other PCs as required. Spare Touch in loft. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PasTim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41642 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101622 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
