I hate to be the fart in church, but we all know what is REALLY needed. I tried to touch on this in my post of 12/06/2018 https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?109840-Secure-Remote-Streaming-to-Mobile-Player ...and got the usual VPN talk - just STOP Yes, I know it's the only way RIGHT NOW, but let's not pretend a full blown VPN is the only way it can be done. A TRUE STREAMING API INTERFACE INTEGRATED INTO THE LMS ECOSYSTEM IS WHAT'S SORELY NEEDED I'm not a 'developer', I'm barely a code tinkerer at this point, but I do understand that this isn't necessarily an easy thing to do. Pipin/Others, Is their an existing open source project (even if it does more than needed right now - strip it down later) that could be integrated fairly easily into LMS to either produce something like SubSonic, but with the multi-account sign-in & proxying capabilities of Tonido - which bypasses the need for pretty much any router changes so it's noob friendly. If a ground-up build is truly needed, make it exclusive to your iPeng app for now, then open it up later, or maybe team up with OrangeSqueeze/SqueezeCTRL/others developers in a joint project (if this isn't your area of expertise). Lets think outside of the box on this- An ad vs premium model ala SubSonic might be a way to recoup costs and provide future revenue. -OR- If you're initially opposed to this, how about a gofundme to gauge interest and to cover the initial costs, with people who donate receiving some kind of benefit depending on the level of donation? I'd certainly be willing to make a nice donation to achieve this goal, and bring LMS fully into the modern era. *Player: *1 x Transporter w/Trans-knob, 2 x Touch (Active, 3 x Spares), 4 x Boom (Active, 9 x Spares) *Server: *1 x Win Server (ESXi 6.x) w/LMS, 1 x HP 24" Touch Screen PC w/LMS & SqueezePlay *Control: *4 x w/iPeng, 1 x Samsung Note 4, 3ea x Fire 7", 8 tablets, 1 x 10" all w/SqueezeCtrl & Player (Angry Goat) *Audio: *Mark Levinson 23.5 Amp, 380s Pre, 390s CD, B&W 801 II, Acoustic Energy AE-2 signature, SOTA Sapphire table Computer geek/tech hoarder(!), and DAMN I love the LMS/Squeeze infrastructure! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ markm9999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=65015 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109877
