Yes.
The main problem with many mpeg4 formatted podcast is that the file
format is set up for downloading and not for streaming.
Jumping in here, because I lost my Squeezebox in a breakup, so have been
playing with UPnP a bit (it seems I'd have to spend $500 on a Squeezebox
Touch if I wanted to go back to Squeezeboxes? Seems like paying a lot for
features I don't really need)
Anyway, I've been pretty impressed by how many

Made changes to the code so the Hostname of the LMS server or PC can be
used. Very useful if LMS runs on another computer or network server and
the IP Address is not static or constantly changes after a reboot or

So, just to investigate this a bit further, to make sure I don't make
any conclusions based on guesses.
My current setup looks like this:

Can't you just run a local LMS on a computer ?

I posted a few weeks ago onto a different thread. I'm only producing an
rtf document at the moment of my albums+songs but Word can open this.
Instead of talking directly to the database, I got the album list from
the server using JSON. This way it's safer, and I can run it on a
different machine

I find two real obstacles in using LMS: searching and streaming.
1) Searching in LMS is primitive. Maybe this is not so much a problem
for listeners to other music types, but it is a problem for me since I
listen mostly to classical music. What is needed is a search that
searches in all tag

Searching: Computer. I have LMS running on a desktop computer. I

SoundCloud plays through HTML 5 on the web site.
It's one of these examples that work from iPeng but it's difficult.
Soundcloud links expire after a few seconds so you can't re-play them
and if you pause them, they are gone.
You'd need native support for SoundCloud's API to do any better than
