The ickStream protocol and backend itself allows making of players and controllers which only use the backend and no local server. Actually it's pretty much designed for that and we have customers using it this way. This can potentially work with Touch and Radio, too, since you can install Software on these devices.
For the older Squeezeboxes, including your Transporter, that's not an option, though. They have very little memory and a proprietary firmware that also needs a special development environment to develop for them at all. They are hard-coded to work with MySB and you can't switch them to something else (as backend, you can of course switch them to an instance of LMS). One option would be to run LMS on a cloud server for your Transporter but that would not really save a lot compared to the local machine. A server in a server farm, even a virtual machine, costs at least as much and eats at least as many resources as a raspberry pi or something like that which would make for a perfect LMS, too. --- 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=98467 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
