One thing you need to be aware of is that if you do this, you can not control it through the web interface or Squeezebox controller Apps anymore, at least for the ickStream services. ickStream is NOT going to be another Squeezebox server, it has it's own control protocol. Since Squeezeboxes can't run on their own but is controlled through a server (remote control Apps don't talk to the player, but the server) and since we can't get our services in MySqueezebox.com, the only way to have ickStream integrated into a Squeezebox-style system is through LMS. Just building a complete replacement for MySqueezebox.com doesn't make sense. It would require support of _two_ different protocols (the player and the UI protocol) both of which are stateful so they scale very, very badly. It would be extremely expensive, to begin with, to operate all this, AFAIK Logitech literally runs thousands of server instances to operate all these Squeezeboxes directly connected to MySB. --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 8, the Universal App for iOS 7 and iOS 8* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102497 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
