Hi Ron... Did you find a solution to your situation?
To be honest, it's been such a long time since we put together the slimserver client I don't remember what features if any were available for DNS lookup. I assume you have some sort of Dynamic DNS service tracking your actual home IP address. The short term solution would be to just use your current IP address. My provider only infrequently changes my WAN IP address. As for the port number, the slimserver, or as it is now known SqueezeCenter, uses specific ports (and I think different ones) for audio and control. I can only assume you are using some sort of port forwarding on your home router to "spaghetti wire" ports together. Nice security touch. But having this option would probably confuse most people. I know I would have to go and look up what's what. If you look in the code it should be fairly obvious where the port values are set up. If you go to the trouble of creating enough code to allow for defaulting to the current values when none are specified I could submit your code to the git repository. -thanks On 12/30/2010 05:45 PM, dumbiggie wrote: > Is there any way to configure the MVPMC Slimserver other than the > "-c<server IP>" command line parameter? > > Reason I ask is because I'd like to point my MVP music client at my home > Squeezecenter Server that is accessible via Internet.
