This has been asked before - part of the request is that control (ffwd, next track etc) should be from the SB player or LMS WebGUI - the solution gets too complicated having to develop a remote CD server to run on Windows, Linux etc. and it is not something I would use. A simpler alternative is to enable remote streaming - a WavInput but where the "line-in" is an on a remote net connected device. I have tested this simple soluition (i.e. modified WavInput using netcat on LMS server to wait for connection and netcat on remote as controlling audio source) running on remote device) The problem with any solution where audio is streamed back to LMS and then out to players is latency. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47288 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
