[slim] Wishlist: Roku app with squeezeplay-like UI for controlling all devices
Hi, As I'm jumping back into my squeezebox setup and refreshing things, I've decided that what I'm really missing is something as elegant as the squeezeplay interface that I can navigate using my TV remote. For my family, that would mean a Roku app -- they already know the squeezeplay interface because literally every room in our house has a SB Radio (Is nine a lot? :) I think I saw a Roon roku app that's closer to what I'm asking than the MainSqueeze app. Just throwing it out there... Also, I'd really like to have a text-based squeezeplay app that functions like squeezeplay with no built-in player so that I could easily select a player, and navigate the menus with the keyboard and be able to easily control ALL the squeezebox devices in my house. I spend most of my day working in a terminal window on remote systems, so not needing a gui or a mouse would be a definite plus for me. Thanks, stay safe, and don't stop the music. -Ross rcampbel3's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38284 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111904 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Squeezebox and Ubiquiti
Are you running real Squeezeboxes or something more modern? If the older units, then getting AC access points (AP) are not going to help as the older Squeezboxes don't support AC. It will force the APs into "N" or a slower protocol. I would also look around and see if you are getting interference by other APs. Likely you are using 2.4GHz so there is a bunch of things on that band that can also cause interference like cordless phones, microwave ovens, Bluetooth. There are "sniffing" applications you can run on your Mac or Windows box to see if you are seeing interference from other APs. WiFi Explorer for the Mac or WiFi Analyzer for Windows.

Re: [slim] Squeezebox and Ubiquiti
I have an AC LR AP mounted on the upstairs landing ceiling in my fairly large two-story house and it's running SBs with no problem in three rooms, one upstairs and two downstairs, as well as three Chromecasts, two Firestick 4K and a variety of other devices. https://www.ui.com/unifi/unifi-ap-ac-lr/ ftlight's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5294 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111903 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Is there a way to remotely access and listen to audio?
I have used VPN to remotely access my LMS in the past, but nowadays I just have a portable server with a copy of my library on a 2Tb drive. I find it much easier.
