Hi Pete, I think everything from your question has been answered already (thanks a lot!)? But in short - no known problems with receiving audio via Wifi and sending audio via Bluetooth - SqueezePlayers screen is just for startup - after that one of the Controller Apps (Logitech, OrangeSqueeze (recommended) or SqueezeCommander) takes over and will be visible most of the time on your table). If you use OrangeSqueeze you will only see SqueezePlayers screen for the very first setup - then never ever again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bluegaspode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31651 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87364 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
