Respectfully, I think we are talking apples & oranges here - SubSonic and others, including other open source projects already exist. My posts are simply saying -'lets stop with the VPN ONLY talk, and let's figure out how to integrate these pieces of software'.- Posts discussing the lack of this ability in LMS exist in every conceivable venue on the web - I LOVE LMS, and I believe it is the BEST platform, but it's skipped over by people who want or REQUIRE remote streaming. If this situation doesn't change, people will eventually move away from LMS completely, and that would be a shame... Use whatever business model you want, if you want - that was not my primary point. I only brought it up to point out that there could be money to be made by having established products enhance their product by adapting this tech into their tech. There are a lot of smart, capable people within these forums - look at the excitement regarding the MaterialSkin & Squeeze-X projects. There has to be someone or group of people willing to make this happen, and I'm willing do donate money, time, or other assets to assist in whatever way I can to make it happen. *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
