I used the included HDMI cable to attach the mini-PC to my HDTV and plugged in the power supply. Within 30 seconds or so, my TV was displaying the Android ICS desktop. Upon plugging an HP wireless mouse receiver into the full-size USB on the mini-PC a mouse pointer appeared. After joining the mini-PC to my wireless network and installing Squeeze Player via Google Play, I was able to select the mini-PC in LMS on my laptop and send music to it exactly the same as any of my other SB players. At this point, the sound was coming via HDMI from my TV speakers. This mini-PC has only one full-size USB port, so I used another cable it shipped with to plug the DAC into its USB OTG mini-port and I had music in my headphones. It wasn't perfect as there was the occasional crackle. I pulled out the mouse receiver and plugged the DAC into the full-size USB which had to be done via a short dongle due to space constraints and the crackle went away. Via HDMI USB: - Plays FLAC and MP3; I didn't have other formats to test - Plays 16/24 - 44/88/96 files; whether these are being resampled along the way I don't know - A short glitch every so often If this were my only experience of Squeezebox I'd probably not be that impressed, but for the extension of an existing SB system into another room I don't see how it can be beat. If you already have an A/V receiver, you can plug the mini-PC directly to HDMI and skip the USB DAC altogether. Remember, you only need a display for initial set-up. After that, using the free Startup Manager app you can configure the mini-PC to automatically start Squeeze Player upon boot. Of course, you can always leave the display connected and have album art visible. Or install an Android SB controller and navigate via your TV and a mouse. The mini-PC does not have an Ethernet jack, but Ethernet/USB adapters are available. I can't say whether my wireless was the cause of the occasional glitch I heard, but I suspect it was as the on-screen wireless strength icon seemed to dip at the same time. It wouldnt surprise me as living in a high-rise apartment building with another one directly across the street is a wireless nightmare. I don't need another SB device at this point, so I unplugged the DAC and re-attached the mouse receiver. I now use the mini-PC as a Netflix streaming device on a secondary HDTV. The wireless mouse provides control from across the room. If I were to do this again, I'd spend a bit more and purchase a dual- or quad-core mini-PC for the extra CPU power. Again, I don't know if CPU or wireless issues were the cause of occasional drop-outs. Some reviewers have complained about the device over-heating, but my experience is that it only gets warm during playback and at rest returns to room temp; I leave it on all the time. +---+ |Filename: Mini-PC.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=15222| +---+ Apesbrain's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=738 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99865 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Android TV Sticks/Boxes as Squeezebox Replacement
marlo wrote: Could you please check if playback of hires-files is possible via hdmi and/or spdif? hi Marlo, Sorry for the late answer. Right now SqueezePlayer uses an AudioAPI that is compatible with pretty old Android versions (AudioTrack / http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/AudioTrack.html#AudioTrack(int, int, int, int, int, int) This supports only samplerate of 48kHz and 16Bit material. I also checked about the multichannel possibilities now. Unfortunately there is a parameter channelConfig which allows only the parameter Mono + Stereo. So unless I rewrite the whole audio engine of SqueezePlayer (which is not planned right now I'm afraid) both request right now cannot be fulfilled. On newer Android version (starting 4.0) audio support was improved in Android. Did you know: *'SqueezePlayer' (www.squeezeplayer.com)* will stream all your music to your Android device.

Re: [slim] Android TV Sticks/Boxes as Squeezebox Replacement
Very nice. I may have to spend my money on your player app, which I've been putting off as I have too many real SB boxes. I bought a Rikomagiv RK809IV to play with but so far it's not great on video playback, but I am going to be testing other ROMs and even Ubuntu soon. One thing that did spring to mind was that now with real HDMI and not just S/PDIF I should in theory be able to playback multichannel DVD Audio rips. No idea what the Squeeze platform (server, your player etc.) might do with that - any ideas? I assume the ability to decode multichannel FLAC and then stream multichannel LPCM over the HDMI will not be a native function - any guesses if this is feasible? I have the luxury of two living rooms, one for music with a 2.0 (going to test an old subwoofer to maybe go 2.1 soon) and the other the TV/movie room with a nice 5.1 setup- currently an SB Touch in each.

Does these boxes work if you don't connect them to a TV and just have
the SPDIF connected to the amplifier ?
Or is the TV needed for them to be able to start and launch
SqueezePlayer at startup ?
