[slim] sync question
Is it possible to use an auxiliary line in on one Squeezebox, and then sync another Squeezebox to it? For example, If I had an XM Radio line out into my Transporter, could I then sync my Boom to the Transporter to hear the XM? thanks, pbg -- pbg pbg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22847 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76511 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] sync question
No - Squeezeboxes only receive data and convert to audio via a DAC, they have no way of encoding audio, and sending it via the LAN / WLAN ports.

Dave Thanks Dav, sounds like I need to figure out a way to first capture encode the signal, and then send it.

Re: [slim] sync question
If you have a PC (Linux or Windows) running SBS with an audio line-in port - then you can use the WaveInput plugin. The PC will encode the audio from the line-in port (to which you have connected the XM radio). -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76511 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I would think the server would have to handle that stream so it could then be sync'd. I don't have XM so I have never tried this and obviously don't know if that's exactly how it would work.

(Actually the XM internet stream is better quality than their satellite feed) The problem is, the package XM offers over the internet doesn't include any of the sports feeds. The goal of this project is to hear the ball game in the shop on the Boom. Does SBS actually need to be on the box that the audio comes in on? Currently my SBS is on a ReadyNas Pro (no sound) -- pbg pbg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22847 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76511 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] sync question
If SBS is not running on the box with the line-in then you could use VLC or Windows Media Encoder to create a HTTP audio stream (like internet radio) which you can then stream through your player. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76511 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] sync question
Have you checked for alternate streams from local radio (to where the game is being played)? I stream the Steelers games from a Pittsburgh station. Just checked and tonight's Capitals game (v. Penguins) should be on Federal News Radio1500 AM in DC, found them in the SBS listing for Washington, DC stations. -- JeffHart You know, I'm all for progress. It's change I object to.

I thought about checking for the individual streams - I just sort of like how with XM, all the baseball hockey games are there in a single, tidy package. sounds like there a few possibilities to make this work.
