aubuti, Hmm, interesting, never heard of iPeng before. Not an iPod or iPhone person, so I'd not heard of it. Looked up the website and read about it, looks like a really interesting app, though it does only look like it's for controlling not for playing remotely.
I guess my expectations are high, as Softsqueeze 3.8 is able to stream all my music, mp3 and FLAC alike very easily over the internet, so if they can do it with an app, why wouldn't it be possible with another app specifically made for a different platform. Sure, you are right about FLAC being overkill for a BB, but BBOS 5 DOES play FLAC, it isn't advertised, but I've played them, and it works, so why not? Cloud computing, having your data available anywhere at any time, not always having to keep copies locally is the way of the future. That's where things are going, lets use the technology. 3G on a BB is plenty fast for this too. I don't mind so much if it has to transcode it to a lossy codec on the fly for streaming to the BB, in a noisy car, who's going to know the difference right? jaredcoe, I tested that Didiom using the free version, and sure enough, it works. Sounds just fine. I believe that this proves that my theory is sound. It is possible to stream from the Squeezebox remotely, especially since they already have the stream.mp3 option. I would think that at the most basic, one could wrap that URL into a simple app where you would put in the hostname, the username and password, and just let it listen on the right port in the background, while one uses the browser to control the music being played through it. In a little more advanced version, set up something like softsqueeze that can do both playing and controlling. It would really be neat to see that done. -capT -- captain_tinker ------------------------------------------------------------------------ captain_tinker's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12518 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78046 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
