I was thinking about a very basic integration to start with. This is from a discussion I'm having on another thread. I'm bridging my Squeezebox system with my Sonos by a hardware bridge between an SB3 and a Sonos Play:5. This is brute force but it works well. As far as SB is concerned, all the Sonos speakers are seen as a single "player" so I switch on/off sync/unsync individual Sonos speakers using the Sonos app, but for all the rest, LMS is still my interface, as long as I play to that SB3 "bridge". I've been using that for about 2 years. Not perfect from a UI point of view, but what works 100% well is synchrnisation (amazing). Then during that discussion, I was thinking that a software bridge could be developped instead of my HW goofy bridge. At least, to do the very same basic. No real "management" of the Sonos environment, but as least piping the sound to it. I saw then that Sonos has an API to add streaming server application, so I was wondering if a PC running SqueezeLite could then be that bridge and create a stream that Sonos would then understand and replay. I was even wondering if named pipes could work for a test (not pretty, just a test) where Squeezelite would output to a named pipe that would be played as a file by the Sonos player. I guess there will be some issue with file format as the pipe will probably not represent something meaninfull to Sonos, but I was just wondering ... otherwise, implementing a proper Squeezelite to Sonos stream would probably work So, as you see this is far from a complete integration where iPeng, for example, could control the Sonos devices, but at least that would be an interesting building block. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ philippe_44's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17261 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102134 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
