Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Squeezeplay or Softsqueeze?
As a new user of a Squeezebox Boom (portable) and classic (hooked to HT setup) I am looking for a way to pipe music from my NAS running Squeezebox Server to a basement PC. I've tried both SoftSqueeze 3.8 and the current nightly version of SqueezePlay. I do not need to control anything from this PC, just want to play my MP3s and occasionally listen to internet radio. So far I found SqueezePlay to be so buggy as to be unusable (locks up frequently, most internet radio streams either unsupported format or play at wrong speed). SoftSqueeze also fails to play many internet streams, but otherwise seems to work OK for my uses. What I'd like to know is if there is a benefit to moving to the beta 3.9 version of SoftSqueeze, and/or is there something i can fix with SqueezePlay that will make it better for what I want to do? Thanks for the info. -- jrbzzz jrbzzz's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35158 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=64814 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Squeezeplay or Softsqueeze?
Thanks, i will try 3.9b when I get a chance. The only issues I have with the current SoftSqueeze are (1) inability to play some radio stations (assuming WMA), (2) cannot login to mysqueezebox.com. (3) cannot use some services such as Live365. None of these is a huge impact as I don't use this computer that often. I also understand that I may be able to fix #1 and #2 with info on this forum. FYI, I am using a Synology DS209 with their tweaked version of Squeezebox Server 7.4.1. This works great with my Boom and Classic. -- jrbzzz jrbzzz's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35158 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=64814 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Squeezeplay or Softsqueeze?
Thanks for the info. I'll check on the Synology boards to see if it is worth installing mplayer for WMA - but I'll probably live with the limitation for now, since I will use this computer mainly to listen to my own library. -- jrbzzz jrbzzz's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35158 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=64814 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
