[slim] Can a Harmony hub control squeezebox via IP?
I have a Harmony Elite with a hub. It can control devices with IP, Bluetooth and IR. It seems to only use IR for Squeezeboxes. Is it possible to make it use IP? I have my IR emitter in my AV closet and would like to be able to control my squeezeboxes in the living room or bedroom using the Harmony app on my phone.

Yes, it works. I was able to set up my Harmony display to list the six presets with custom labels - mostly Napster channels. This lets me turn on and play music without having to look away from the remote.

[slim] Radio no sound with Rhapsody on MySB, works on LMS. Expected?
My Radio works fine with Rhapsody at home with LMS, but now I took it on vacation expecting it would work on MySquuezebox.com. It looks like it is working, shows playback progress, but no sound comes out. One time after I powered it on it worked and played one playlist but was silent after that. Any ideas for how I can get it working here?

There are also many Lumias with built-in wireless charging which is nice for this application. In the case of using Android for the interface and the playback, what is the preferred way to transfer the sound to the amplifier?

Allowed by Rhapsody: probably not, they have end-to-end encryption in their security concept, they have to assure that. That's the whole reason for all this hassle. I'm curious how this works with the app on other platforms. On Android or Windows the stream can be captured when output, via Bluetooth, SPDIF, etc. Is the Squeezebox in a contractually different category of devices, or is the digital transport between the LMS and the Squeezebox considered different than a SPDIF transport between a computer and a DAC? Or is there anther difference I haven't thought of? :) DrewSB's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=26817 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103529 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] NAS/SBS software for old x86 laptop?
Hi all, I've been running a NAS / SBS on a Sheevaplug until recently when the SD card died. I also have an older Core Solo x86 laptop with 2GB of RAM. I was thinking of turning that into a NAS as it has a lot of advantages over the Sheevaplug, not the least being the convenience of a built-in keyboard and monitor for maintenance. My storage are two USB hard drives formatted as NTFS, a 2TB and a 3TB. My goals are: 1. NAS functions to back up files from my desktop and stream media to XBMC. Straight SMB shares work for this, no need for UPNP, etc. Hopefully support for NTFS. 2. SBS for a modest library. 3. Ideally a Crashplan client to back up my backups. 4. Low-ish power, the server will be idle 9/10ths of the time so it would be nice if it could spin down the drives. I looked into FreeNAS but it doesn't support my disks without reformatting and seems to require a lot of tinkering to get SBS or Crashplan to work. I could also just go with Windows 8 but I'd need to buy a license and it may be overkill. Any other thoughts on reusing an old laptop as a server?

Re: [slim] What's your favorite device for remotely controlling your Squeezebox?
Old Radio Shack 15-2117 JP1 remote is the most used. Always laying around nearby, big backlit buttons, controls every device in my living room (eight so far). Can skip through long lists by pressing the keypad T9 style. Next would be SqueezePlay if I'm on my computer. SqueezeRemote on Windows Phone 7 if I'm in another room or want a better browser than my IR remote. The main problem is that it takes a few seconds to unlock the phone, start the app, etc. Usually easier to grab the remote. -- DrewSB DrewSB's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=26817 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86866 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] A rant towards a rescue. Needed. NOW. ... From here to where?
I am relatively new to Squeezeboxes after getting frustrated trying to get my Tivo to serve as a reliable music player. I now have a Squeezebox 2 and a Boom, and have been very happy with both. There are a few things about them that I think should be resolved for a mass market product: 1. The need for a seperate server, or at least a seperate propriatary server. The box should include a USB port or internal storage and be able to use it. It should also be able to use external UPNP sources. Perhaps indexing them in an internal database in the Squeezebox, ala embedded shivaplug. The ideal solution would be an embedded Squeezecenter, I really like the customization that is possible with this software. 2. The seperation between SqueezeCenter and SqueezeNetwork. As a new user, I was surprised that there was such a wall between these sources - to the extent that the firmware will up/down grade between uses. I would have expected that internet content would be served by Squeezecenter if available, otherwise Squeezenetwork. Local music would be served by Squeezecenter if available. I would be able to turn on the Squeezebox, listen to Rhapsody, online radio, etc, and only need to turn on Squeezecenter in order to make the local media menu items appear. I am running SC on a NAS so I leave it on all the time, but for the typical user running it on thier PC, it forces them to decide which server to connect to before they can enjoy thier music. -- DrewSB DrewSB's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=26817 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=66745 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Let's say you have a SB3 connected via Toslink to a receiver and are playing FLAC files ripped from a CD. Is there any reason this would not sound identical to the same CD being played through a decent CD player's Toslink output?

Usually sync works perfectly, but a couple times (like this morning) it is a split second off. I have tried stopping both players and unsyncing and then resyncing. My Boom is connected to my Squeezecenter via Wifi. My SB2 is connected to my Squeezecenter via a network cable. The Boom started this morning playing an internet radio station as an alarm. The synced SB2 started playing at the same time, but a split second off. The starting and stopping, unsyncing and resyncing haven't changed this.
