I just had cause to use this and came up with a few hurdles I had to workaround - posting in case this helps anyone.
So, the reason I needed to use it was because I wanted to set up "bridging" on my Receiver. The Receiver is on the WiFi but I have an Ethernet-only device (Raspberry Pi) I wanted to hang off it. This can be done but only if you can switch on the bridging. My first attempt was to use the compiled program found at http://slim2lirc.myown.mailcan.com/udap_shell_1_0_0.exe. However, this doesn't work - it gives lots of errors when run. I managed to track down what I think is the problem: it uses ipconfig on Windows to find the local IP Address. However, the program assumes it is called "IP Address" whereas for some time now (since Vista I think!) it is actually now called "IPv4 Address" so that doesn't work. So I think you have to use the source Perl version. I got that down but I had a lot of trouble installing the correct Perl pre-requisites on my Windows machine. I could get ActiveState Perl but getting the additional modules didn't seem to work for me. I think this is because the cpan command assumes you have gmake and gcc installed and maybe other things too. There might be a way to get that all to work but I gave up. Instead I ran it on a Linux box and that was much easier. Essentially all I had to was this: Code: -------------------- sudo apt install build-essential sudo cpan install Log::StdLog Term::Shell Class::Accessor IO::Interface::Simple git clone https://github.com/robinbowes/net-udap.git cd net-udap ./scripts/udap_shell.pl -------------------- There was still some further confusion, however. I have an SB3, the SBR, and also a Radio. All three seem to behave differently and the Radio in particular seems to cause errors. The SBR seems to be only contactable when it is in init mode (red flashing slowly) and in that mode it seems like it is no longer on the house wifi so it's no longer accessible. I think in that mode you need to use the Ethernet (or it's own special direct wifi). The SB3 by contrast is easy to discover and access - but that's also not needed since it is configurable via the remote. The answer for me, anyway, was to connect the SBR directly to the PC via Ethernet and then I could get the config working and with no chance of confusion with the other Squeezies on the network. Hope this is helpful to someone.
