For remote use with laptop connected to highend gear or good headphones i rather use flac. its just around 800kbit. The videos i stream from my sat reciever use a bandwith of 8-14mbit! No issue so far, even with openvpn. as i said: only the win7 squeezeplay when used via openvpn doesnt do, but streams flac when not using openvpn Pommes's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=67682 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107165 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Dont worry I will just use the open ports for squeezeplay. It is working fine with the open ports. But the modification of ovpn conf which you told me to do definitely increased the streaming ability via open VPN for my video from satellite receiver, so thanks again Pommes's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=67682 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107165 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

High definition playback does work via open Ports though. And the video I stream from my satellite receiver via OpenVPN is about 10 times higher bit rate then FLAC from LMS. So it must be some kind of issue between squeeze play and open VPN on windows which makes the bottleneck.

I edited my ovpn file on windows, squeezeplay still not able to play flac without buffering every few seconds. I stream from my satelite reciever via openvpn, and this does work a lot better after i edited the ovpn file the way you asked, so thanks for that. But for streaming flac with squeezeplay i will use the open ports.

Sorry but I dont understand that . I am just a user with no programming nor Linux skills. My router runs the OpenVPN server and I just imported the ovpn file into open vpn GUI on windows 7. The tunnel is udp and runs fine on Mac, iPad and iPhone Pommes's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=67682 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107165 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

It is just working much better than with OpenVPN and more convenient. The server is actually only serving audio and video files. The audio gets backuped every week, I dont care about loosing the video.

Re: [slim] IMPORTANT: Stop forwarding your LMS ports to the internet!
Hi, after opening the ports today I found this thread. Now I set up OpenVPN and it works fine, only one issue: In iPeng I set the Audio Bitrate for cellular to 192kbit and for WiFi to unlimited . Unfortunately this doesnt work with open vpn. All music is transcoded to 192 when connected to OpenVPN. When using port forwarding instead it works fine, untranscoded flac when connected to WiFi, transcoded to 192 when cellular. Does Anybody have a hint for me?
