I have two unrelated questions about remote streaming. 1) If you want to access a remote SlimServer that has a changing IP address with a Physical SqueezeBox (not with softsqueeze - I know how to do that), is it possible to enter a Dynamic DNS host name (as against an IP address) onto the device? Or alternatively can one of the plugins on slimserver (such as Michael Herger's ServerSwitcher be configured to do a DNS lookup and then allow switching to that remote server via the remote (or the controller) interface?
2) I currently have my flacs transcoding to 192 kbps mp3s for remote streaming, which is fine. But I was wondering if there is a way to dynamically adjust the encoding bitrate in real time in response to the available bandwidth? i.e. something like the Slingbox does - I have seen it scale from 8mbps down to 96 kbps depending on what was available. Which codecs support this feature? wma? hd-aac? open source? -- Nikhil ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nikhil's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=993 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42812 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
