If your friend's laptop's WiFi module supports access point technology, you could establish an access point on the laptop to make its LMS accessible for any device in its vicinity, including smartphones and tablets. We use the same technology to turn' Raspberry Pi's into mobile media centers '

I've looked at Sonos, Pi devices but until my Squeeze World stops working there just is no point. With the new Spotify work around for us "oldies" without a touch it just keeps going and going ;) Boom, Receiver, Squeezelite, Android Squeezer and Android Squeeze Player playback LMS 7.8 on HP

2016-10-28 Thread MillmoorRon
My friend has a laptop (probably Windows) with a wi-fi adaptor but does not have any form of home internet access or a wireless router. Is it still possible to use a phone app to control LMS installed on the laptop?
