Re: [slim] Low footprint integrated headless player required

Jim, thanks for your useful reply. I have given up attemptimng anything with SqueezeSlave for two reasons: 1) It's volume output is extremely low (almost inaudible) 2) When synced it causes my other players to stop emitting any sound whatsoever (even though to all intents and purposes they

Re: [slim] Low footprint integrated headless player required

As JJZolx has corrected the suggested command I thought I'd just add for anyone else that in general, for windows, if a filename or a directory name contains spaces then you have to place the whole string within double quotes. Otherwise the spaces look like separators between a command an its

Re: [slim] Low footprint integrated headless player required

The version of SoftSqueeze I have (3.2.1?) also installs SoftSqueezeHeadless.exe. I just have a shortcut to that in my start-up folder. Simple as that, and works perfectly with SqueezeCenter. I'm not even sure that Java is running as it has no graphical interface. Sorry, possibly missing the

Thanks for your reply Peter but all you advise is a bit over the top for me. * Run Softqueeze ( java - unnecessary permanent overhead. Do not want graphic interface either) * Run VNC (I only have one permanently on PC, it runs SlimCenter? Now I want it to be an audio source too) * Run a Linux

You can run squeezeslave.exe as a service on Windows. I do this on my work PC. First, you'll need the Windows Resource Kit Tools for XP/Win2k3. Download it 'here' (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9D467A69-57FF-4AE7-96EE-B18C4790CFFDdisplaylang=en). (Despite the page
