I just tried this (add all three components in /etc/squeezeboxserver) -
nothing so far but I'll keep trying. Do I need to do anything special
on ubuntu 14.04 to ensure ffmpeg is in place? It wasn't installed, so I
have done so, but I still get nothing.
To be clear, I have tried adding the url as a favourite, and also via
'tune in url', but neither works. There's nothing on the log. Is there
a specific log entry I could turn on?
LMS 7.9 on VortexBox Midi, Xubuntu 14.04, FLACs 16->24 bit,
44.1->192kbps. LMS & Squeeze2upnp (Beta - derived from squeezelite) to
Musical Fidelity M1 CLiC and Marantz CR603 UPnP renderers. Squeezelite
to PC sound. Minimserver (server) and upplay (control point) to same
amps & to upmpdcli/mpd PC renderers. Meridian USB Explorer DAC from PCs
to speakers/headphones. Wireless Xubuntu 14.04 laptop controls
LMS/upplay via Firefox. Have a Touch with EDO, and a spare, but don't
use.
