I did not mean to say the wifi PC's would not sync: only that I had not
done it. I'll give it a try in a little.

There was a long time that squeezeplay didn't sync to other players for
me.  The last year or so though squeezeplay seems to be syncing pretty
well with by SBT.  Not sure if the SB3 would behave differently.  I
wouldn't call it perfect though but it's not bad either.

pski, so to get this to work one needs at least two PCs connected to
wired ethernet - one running the server and another running the client
(Softsqueeze)? If so, this is going to be problematic, because other
than one computer (the HTPC) the others in my house (a desktop and two
laptops) are connected via wifi.

It has always worked for me. 

Remember, there is some fine-tuning available in the player sync
settings.

One caution: I have always used Softsqueeze (with the java mp3
installed.)

Well two cautions: I have not used Softsqueeze on the LOGITECH MEDIA
SERVER computer. The client has always been on another machine. 

All my computers are hard-wired and all my hardware players are wifi.

Rarely if ever perfect. You really need a hardware SB.

[slim] Can an HTPC and an SB3 sync perfectly?

2011-11-13 Thread boren

One of my SB3 players has stopped working. And since it's out of
warranty, I'm starting to think about using my HTPC instead.  However,
in the past I never managed to get perfect and consistent
synchronization between either of my computers (running SoftSqueeze)
and the SB3 players. Is it possible at all? Is there any special
hardware required to do it? If possible, I'd rather spend the $250 on a
PC upgrade than a Squeezebox Touch.
