In a perfect world..... If I were Pascal now, who's already got the applet setup screen to enable the applet, for minimal effort, adding the ability to set the player MAC address to watch there would make sense. Whether he uses a real address or a made up one, he already has the ability either via the web interface (or by editing the config file directly), to set the MAC for the squeezelite client instance.... job done. No waiting for network interfaces. No pot luck as to what System.getMacAddress() is going to return when multiple interfaces are in play.... works if loopback is the only interface.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JackOfAll's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3069 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98544 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
