I don't quite follow how many music sources you have, and what they're running. Typically around here we'd dedicate a Squeezebox (in your case, Squeezebox Receivers if you don't care about a display in each room to show what's playing) to each set of speakers, and then use web browsers, Squeezebox Controllers, IR Remotes (if you go for the Classic), iPod Touch devices, etc. to control the Squeezeboxes & speakers. If each set of speakers had its own Squeezebox (and your X10 setup met the PowerCenter requirements), then you could easily tell PowerCenter the X10 house+device code for each Squeezebox, and you'd be set. But if you've got something like the audio output of your headless SqueezeCenter server feeding all the rooms simultaneously, PowerCenter as it currently stands might not help much. It lets you use any Squeezebox remote control (IR for Classic, Boom, Transporter, etc.; Controller for Duet/Receiver) to turn on specific X10 or Insteon devices, but there's currently no web UI for controlling devices via PowerCenter (it will fire on/off commands for a device associated with a particular Squeezebox, but you can't use the SqueezeCenter web UI to make PowerCenter send any other X10 commands directly). It'll probably be months before I get around to that -- first I have to do some serious reworking of the underlying code so it'll be easier to support more controllers and protocols down the road. But there are a number of web apps/interfaces for X10, so I'd advise you to check those out if you need web-based X10 control now. Personally I run MythTV and SqueezeCenter on the same host (my MythTV backend, which also serves as a frontend). I only played around with MythMusic (?) once, out of curiosity. I much prefer the quiet simplicity of the Squeezebox Classic, so I don't use the MythTV frontend (nor the audio outputs of the MythTV server) to listen to music -- SqueezeCenter + Squeezeboxes handle that. -Peter -- peterw http://www.tux.org/~peterw/ free plugins: http://www.tux.org/~peterw/#slim AllQuiet BlankSaver ContextMenu FuzzyTime KidsPlay KitchenTimer PlayLog PowerCenter/BottleRocket SaverSwitcher SettingsManager SleepFade StatusFirst SyncOptions VolumeLock ------------------------------------------------------------------------ peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35306 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
