Right now Whitebear is filling more than a gap... is filling an abyss. Don't give up the good work. I have been unable to get the LMS 7.7 server with the UPnP plugin to connect even when using WMP from a laptop running Win7. Whitebear is the only UPnP server on SBS that's working for me. I've been trying to connect the Logitech Media Player (LMP) from my new $99 Revue to a LMS server, but it fails to connect. I decided to test my Revue using the Whitebear Media server and it works. I have been running Whitebear on my production SBS 7.6.x for a while and have been using it with WMP occasionally. As a matter of fact, it works very well with the Logitech Revue, but with a few glitches that might actually be related to the LMP. Im able to navigate my FLAC library folders using LMP and play tracks, albums and even playlists from the Revue. The one problem I ran across, so far, is that using the Revue keyboard Im not able to narrow down the search within a folders as I enter letters on the keyboard. It narrows the search for some tracks and folders, but for some reason not for others. I attached a couple pictures that shows the Revue connected to the Whitebear Media server showing some the folder navigation and the Now Playing screen. I know its bit of a waste to use a FLAC Library and SBS to play music using the Revue and TV, but this library is a media source that's already setup to stream. Im trying to setup a simple environment for my wife to play some music. She just cant deal with complexities of my SB3 setup. To simplify things I tried using the Revue with a USB attached drive that holds a copy of my music library in high rate MP3 format along with pictures and videos. But.. believe or not when I connect the USB drive to the Revue... LMP finds the music, but in the current release either the LMP or the Revue firmware does not support tags from media files in USB attached drives. Thats right it supports tags from media streamed remotely, but not from local sources. Ill continue play with LMS and to wait for updates to fix the connection problems that Im currently having. I understand that the priority in these forums is to discuss the issues of SBS/LMS as it relates to Squeezeboxes, but eventually other UPnP DLNA players will have to be given some attention. The installation screens of LMS 7.7 already show a Revue along with squeezeboxes. So it should be safe to say that, eventually, LMS will officially support the Revue. Maybe not with the current Revue Android 2.1 platform, but when the Honeycomb 3.1 firmware for the Revue is release. So, I'll be Whitebearing it until I can see better functionality from the USB attached drives or get better support from LMS. Again, thanks for developing and maintaining Whitebear. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: WB3.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=12264| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- tamanaco ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tamanaco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4620 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87559
