Yes you right it works, but only when you have one player streaming Spotify, if you connect second to same server, all Spotify streams will play only for 20 sec and skip, on both players. bobtob's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=60997 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97881 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Thanks still can not install 7.7.4 anyone knows how to install it ? I was able to uninstall 7.8 no problems. Also any chance we can get drivers for Schiit Modi DAC? I have tried to make it work but no luck. I'm building DDDAC1789 NOS DAC, instalation required for Linux with UAC2, will this work with no additional drivers?

Re: [slim] Pre-Announcement: ickStream Music Platform
Hello Im really looking forward for full metadata api integration. We are developers and integrators using systems like www.savantav.com and www.crestron.com, would be nice if we can finally have great streaming product with full metadata control. Since Logitech quit the game I was trying to find replacement. I was trying Sonos but no luck, they don't like to open the the system for third party integration. If ickstream will work well, that could be huge thing for custom audio integrators. Looking forward for beta testing.
