Re: [slim] Secondhand market
I am running PiCorePlayers around the house. You can see the details and cost of what I did for a "deluxe" PiCorePlayer at: https://blog.lns.com/?p=151 But you cal also build a basic one out of a $35 Raspberry Pi using power speakers. One of my "setups" is just that. Tim On 10/20/19 8:44 PM, w3wilkes wrote: > > The PiCorePlayers are cheap and easy enough to build which should carry > this platform for the foreseeable future.

Re: [slim] Secondhand market
The PiCorePlayers are cheap and easy enough to build which should carry this platform for the foreseeable future. I find the player to be easier to configure and more reliable than a Duet receiver. On occasion the Duet receiver has just started playing loud static that I have to hit Rew and it then picks up where it was supposed to before the static blast. The Pi I built has never missed a beat. With my Duet controller it's no change for the wife, which is great as she knows how to use the controller even though she has Orange Squeeze on her phone.

Re: [slim] Secondhand market
I recently picked up a duet with all accessories that was posted on this site for the cost of shipping which turned out to be around $15 US. About the touch for CDN$ 1,341.40. Is that Monopoly money?

Re: [slim] Secondhand market
Of course, I should say that in no way do I think that it's the beginning of the end for the Squeezebox ecosystem. Quite the opposite - the server software, the plugins, the supported hardware and the new devices are such that the ecosystem has never been in better shape. I just get the impression that the original hardware's days are numbered. If only Logitech could add LMS support to a few more quality devices (in addition to the other more prosaic connectivity options). chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=07 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Secondhand market
Like many on here I guess, I regularly trawl eBay for used Squeezebox hardware. I'm pretty sure that the number of items for sale has increased quite significantly in recent months. Is it just me? Booms in good condition are still fetching good money, but sad-to-say, most other devices seem to be losing value quite quickly. It makes the BNIB Touch that I bought for emergencies when they went out of production seem like an unwise purchase (especially since I've retired my main Touch in favour of a Raspberry Pi and a Joggler screen)! I've even managed to bag a SLIMP3 today for silly money - I've wanted one of those for a long time, and there seemed to be little competition for this particular one. So is this a golden period for Squeezebox fans looking to stock up, or the beginning of the end for the traditional hardware?

Re: [slim] Live365 app error 404
A station that I listened to for years change services to Live365. I have SoundBridge radios (from the old days) that only work with URLs. I emailed Live365 support and asked for a url for the station I wanted, and received a reply. As an example, this: http://streaming.live365.com/a79535 the a79535 is the station ID for my station. Of course, this works on Squeezeboxes, too. You might want to try this. phb (3 Booms, 2 SB3, 1 Rec'vr, 2 Controllers, 2xTouch, 2 Radios (1UE), iPeng : itouch & iPad, Squeezepad, 2 SoundBridge R1000s) pbroughton's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=30993 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111084 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

This is quite cool and would be a great solution for stations that are not broadcasted anymore by Tunein.
