No, I should have qualified my response. The stream is sent using the SlimProto TCP Protocol. See here: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?SlimProtoTCPProtocol SlimServer generates the SlimProto packets and the SB has an interpreter to decode them. If you had a program that could generate SlimProto packets, then you could replace SlimServer. I'm currently unaware of a program that replaces SlimServer entirely. The alternate servers here still use the SlimServer CLI to generate packets: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?PluginRemoteControls There's only one SlimProto player listed here: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?PluginPlayers and that's SoftSqueeze, although there's a simple command-line version called squeezeslave available at the SoftSqueeze SourceForge site in the Files section. The other players listed in the wiki are for the older SLIMP3 Client protocol. BTW you can try out both SlimServer and SoftSqueeze right now as they are both free. In fact, it's a good idea to install SlimServer before you get a Squeezebox so you can get a feel for it. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25654 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
