LMS and slimproto use a MAC address to identify players - can't change that. However it doesn't need to be a real MAC address, just unique for a device.. That said auto configuring really requires dynamic detection of a MAC address and needs squeezelite/jive lite to detect the same thing. So the problem is we want a solution which works with no network, but also selects a unique MAC address when working over a network and gets the same address for player and controller even if started at different times? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Triode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98544 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
