XMMS should be told to open http://localhost:9000/stream.mp3
Do that first. You should get a generic welcome-to-slimserver sort of thing scrolling across the title display. (Change 'localhost' to the IP of your machine if you are using a different machine to playback, of course.) Then go to the web interface and choose songs to play With only one player attached you won't have to choose which player. so don't worry about that. Of course, for somewhat better control, look under Help on the web page for SoftSqueeze.. .it will be much better than XMMS, since it can handle slimproto and knows when a track has changed, so there is less "stale buffer" sorts of issues. (There is no way to tell XMMS "hey, I dont want this track any more, please dump your buffer" .. you just have to wait it out.) And of course, for better control, use a hardware player, ie Squeezebox or Transporter. Softsqueeze is a fun toy, but a SB has better sound and you can play music from your couch without going near the server. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40261 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
