At some point the Boom could get DHCP as well as discover my Touch. Then I tried fixing the OpenWRT settings for my guest network. The Boom is and was not using the guest network, but simply directly on the LAN (via wifi). My OpenWRT device now simply doesn't route traffic from my guest network(SSID) to my regular LAN. That's not relevant for this, but after messing with OpenWRT for hours, suddenly the DHCP and discovery doesn't work anymore either for my Boom. So I guess it's all OpenWRT's fault, but now I no longer have a way to fix it ;-). Its config is so simple and small that everything it generates in terms of firewall rules should really be consistent and trustworthy. So basically for me at this point is: I don't know what I've changed since the time it worked ;-). Thanks for your interest though, I'm surprised this forum is still so lively. I was really intending to make it a project to create different firmware for the devices though. I think the menu structure is just so horrendous. But mostly I wanted to think about integrating the Squeezeboxes into something that could be a bridge between a regular computer and that system. Mostly what I wanted to do I think is create "virtual soundcard" software (device) for Windows and/or Linux, that would allow the SB to source an audio stream directly from a computer. If this source is simply a network protocol url, you could then easily sync it across the SB and in that way you could for instance "relay" YouTube to your Boom standing in the bedroom, for instance. You could imagine this simply being part of LMS if that would be the part that performed the relay, but then you would need to control LMS which is annoying if it's done via the web interface. So what I really wanted to make is a system that can turn audio on the computer into a stream served by a small server program, and for Squeezeboxes to be able to "read" that link and acquire the stream. I don't know anything about the firmware at this point but the SB streams data from LMS anyway. If you can make something that does the same (as LMS does) but simply for a single stream that you cannot " select" (it is just one stream, no options) then every Squeezebox device could have this "your computer" as the source for its music. (audio). If you could relay it through the (or a) actual LMS running on your computer, then, supposing you changed the interface on the SB (or, not at all) LMS would simply offer your computer audio stream as a file you can play. The purpose of this would be to make Squeezebox something that is independent of the internet in itself but still being able to source from it using a computer relay. Then, controlling the stream obviously means using your computer. But of course if you have a small laptop nearby, you could use that to browse YouTube and I believe you can control SBes from the LMS web interface right? In that cause you could have a little program that said "send audio to <SB #1>" and "send audio to <SB #2>" the way Apple has it. And I'm not sure if Apple's legal team has prevented these things from being marketed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Xenthar's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=57935 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105498 _______________________________________________ Boom mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/boom
