Just got hold of an Android device not long ago... I've setup an OpenVPN config file and installed the OpenVPN connect app, installed Orange Squeeze and Squeezeplayer, also installed Squeeze Ctrl and SB Player. I have both the remote control of Squeezboxes and playback working so far and they're all really nice. But, I am having a problem connecting to LMS when going thru the VPN. It seems Orange Squeeze and Squeeze Ctrl can't find/connect to the server. My OpenVPN connection says it's connected. I'm using another cell phone's wifi hotspot feature to connect my Android device to 'net, then turning on OVPN. Maybe once or twice OrangeSqueeze connected, but when I try browsing my albums, etc, it just says 'Loading' for so long I give up waiting. Playback, etc with iPeng continues to work pretty well thru the VPN. Any one use and Android device and OpenVPN while also getting remote playback working? Thanks! I want NBC's *-Ed-* on DVD/Blu-ray! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 808htfan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1298 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102819 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
