I'm listening to FLAC through the built in player on iPeng now. It's been playing solid without a single hiccup - very nice!! Well Done! It's much more convenient than having to deal with starting up Squeezecast first. I do miss gapless playback though. I hope it's high on your list and

I'm *soo* close to being able to offer you that. A while back I worked on a plugin that adds two new protocols for Squeezebox. One is for executing CLI commands like sleep 900 (900 = 15 minutes). Another is for executing commands on the machine running Squeezebox Server. The idea is that these

Oh, if you want to look at what I have (broken as it is), the code is in http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/slim7/TESTING/SqueezeCLIHandler/ and you can install it from my test repo, http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/slim7/repodata-test.xml. The plugin name is SqueezeCLIHandler. -- peterw
