The older players are quite dumb when running parametrs are controlled by Squeezeboxserver but the basic firmware sets up comms (i.e. Ethernet, wireless) to Squeezeboxserver. Once basic comms are working, player on power up issues a Broadcast UDP packet to find all the Squeezeboxservers available - there may be more than one. With players with display such as SB-1/2/3, Boom - the display is used to allow users to setup basic network params and to choose a LMS if more than one. Receiver has no screen so Duet controller an adhoc WiFI to setup Receiver so that it communicate with a designated Squeezeboxserver. the Net::UDAP script allows a user to setup a receiver - the network paramater and to which Squeezeboxserver to connect. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109668 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

Looks like a rather complicated way to do what applying the --httpaddr parameter would have done...
