I currently have the following configuration: Server: Buffalo Terastation 1TB Live running Twonkyvision Clients: Roku Soundbridge M2000 & PS3 Audio: Meridian Audio G68 Processor Network: 100Mbps LAN using Solwise 200Mbps Homeplugs Music: I have a huge collection of CDs to rip and want to use a lossless compression such as .flac or .wma lossless.
In my early days of playing (and paying! for Twonky), I have discovered that it doesnt quite fit the bill and this has left me with a few questions which I cant find specific answers to on the forum search. Im looking for an alternative server solution and have had Slimserver recommended to me. Perhaps you guys can help? 1) Firstly, can Slimserver (SS) be installed on a Buffalo NAS Terastation Live (ARM processor)? Are there any compiled install routines for ARM builds as Im a bit of a Linux newbie, but have a good technical grasp of command lines. 2) Do people use SS with Roku clients and is the display on the Roku used effectively. i.e. the display isnt truncated by SS, with SS thinking that its a SS hardware device and the Roku searching is retained? 3) I have discovered that the PS3 cannot playback .flac. It might be possible in a future firmware release if Sony pull their fingers out. Is it possible for SS to transcode .flac to a suitable PS3 codec, whilst retaining the ability to play pure .flac to the Roku client? E.g. a client list set up by IP address with different configs applied to each client. Thanks in advance for any advice given.
