Thanks for the quick reply lauret, Sorry my question wasn't well worded. I understand how software differentiates between different hardware/virtual hardware by mac addressing. My question was more how does the LMS web gui present each instance in the choose player menu (top right). In my case with one instance running it just shows up as Squeezeslave so how would subsequent instances appear so that I know which one I'm selecting? -- cliver Logitech Media Server Version: 7.7.1 - r33735 @ Mon Nov 28 16:44:47 MST 2011 Operating system: Vortexbox 2.0 (Fedora16) Squeezebox Touch: Firmware: 7.7.1-r9561 HTC HD2 running SlimCtrl 1.52 Squeezeplay 7.5.3 - r0 Squeezeslave ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliver's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=43289 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91834 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
