Benno, thanks again for providing the basic script. I am sharing back my own version in case anyone is interested by running Squeezelite. 'Adapting multiple zone squeezeslave script' (http://minixsqueeze.blogspot.com/2013/03/adapting-multi-zone-squeezeslave-script.html) Here is what my server/player looks like with 2 zones: '[image: http://i.imgur.com/Ehd0x8yl.jpg]' (http://imgur.com/Ehd0x8y) It provides the following features as of now - Runs logitech media server v7.7.2 - Provides multi-zone support (3 simultaneous tested so far) when using USB dacs - Uses SqueezeLite as software player, which supports switching to different servers - Built-in Wifi & DHCP Server for when there is no ethernet network around - Plug it on a network using an external ethernet adapter ($6), and enjoy built-in server or connect to other server on the network - Built-in Network file server with share to fill up the SD card with tunes from a computer - Auto-update script that syncs new music files from a network location every day - Appears as an Airplay audio sink - Native Analog out - Crappy but works - Digital out through HDMI - Now playing screen when HDMI connected - Very compact Here is the current BOM - Allwinner A10 based Android box (~$40), running linaro linux distribution at its core. - USB Dac ($2 for cheap analog, $17 for SPDIF, $$$ for better quality) - Micro-SD card (4gb for OS ~$4, or bigger to carry part of your collection, or Hard drive for lossless libraries) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sle118's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35009 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96210 _______________________________________________ diy mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/diy
