yes basically it works. i cannot tell about speed because lossless i only tested with the pi on ethernet. but with good wifi... maybe. but to let the pi give itself an ip you need to aim a bit at a range, so it is not used by dhcp. of course you can autodetect free ips, but can be tricky in different locations, when you're on the road. another downside is I didnt manage to advertise LMS on the radio side. It seems that broadcast protocoll is so ancient... tweaked avahi db into it, just nothing happened. btw, everything else can be advertised :-) so there is now a direct SMB and AFP avahi broadcast for the LMS on the other side of the tunnel... as for iPeng and the web-browser remote I let the pi register his two adresses with dyndns. which can in turn itself be avahi-zed for mac safari. the only question right now is, how can I let the user define a new wifi AP without going terminal. php on the pi... again... yuck. best, gruess m ------------------------------------------------------------------------ maweber's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64980 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105324 _______________________________________________ diy mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/diy
