@mherger, do you know, whether Logitech/Slimdevices ever patented anything from their ideas?
I'm wondering, as I'm just reading about the currently filed lawsuite from Sonos against Google: https://www.businessinsider.de/international/sonos-sues-google-alleging-patent-infringement-2020-1/?r=US&IR=T For instance Sonos' syncing algorithm is described in the following patent: https://patents.google.com/patent/US9195258B2/en Interestingly its different from Logitechs one (i.e. they are 'tagging' the music frames with timing information, where LMS just provides the original stream and gives active 'commands' to boxes about playing faster to get into sync again). Wondering why the guys over at Google copied Sonos' algorithm and not just went on with Slimdevices' open sourced (yet obfuscated with perl ;) ) algorithm. Did you know: *'SqueezePlayer' (www.squeezeplayer.com)* will stream all your music to your Android device. Take your music everywhere! Remote Control + Streaming to your iPad? *'Squeezebox + iPad = SqueezePad ' (www.squeezepad.com)* Want to see a Weather Forecast on your Radio/Touch/Controller ? => why not try my 'Weather Forecast Applet' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73827) Want to use the Headphones with your Controller ? => why not try my 'Headphone Switcher Applet' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67139) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bluegaspode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31651 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111453 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
