Yes, I mean the Squeezebox Receiver. But, no, the Receiver works fine - if used in the intended way. When I hook up a software player via the stream.mp3 it will show up under the players list on my Controller, eventually. I've added the stream.mp3 as a Favorit to my Receiver and when I start this, the Receiver doesn't appear a second time with this stream access under the players list. I'd hope it would show up two times: first as the original Receiver, second as some device that accesses the mp3 stream. Since it doesn't, I guess the Squeezecenter is smarter than that. ;) Before you ask: Why would you want to do something like that, anyway? I want to sync my Receiver with the Terratec Noxon (a uPnP hardware player) somehow. But the Noxon being recognized as a softplayer it shuts down Receiver playback as soon as I sync it. So, can this be sone? Sync between Receiver and Noxon? -- gNNY gNNY's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=30914 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=64246 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Multi room solution
Hm, my idea seems not to work - at least for now. Here's the thing: I'm pretty new to this Squeezebox game. Before that I had (and still have) a Terratec Noxon and was playing music which was coming from my Qnap NAS via uPnP. Now I've bought a Duet set and I was playing around with the different options I have now. The idea was to play music coming from the Squeezecenter through the mp3 stream on the Noxon. So far, so good: my Noxon system shows up on the controler as a Windows Media Device in the player list. I can even synchronize it with other players. And that works, too. Of course, as explained already in the above posts, as soon as the receiver comes into play, sync doesn't work as smoothly anymore. So my idea was this: I wanted to hook up all music playing devices via the MP3 stream and synchronize it with the controller. Although hardware synced with MP3 sreams remaines silent, the songs still play on the streams and I can controll the playlists via the controller. Also, I won't mind that no sound comes from the controller as it should stay mute anyway. The problem is the receiver in the living room. I was hoping that I could get it hooked up to the stream as well, somehow. Indeed, I was able to add the stream.mp3 as a Favorit to the receiver's list and it connects alright. But there is no sound coming from the receiver. And it won't show up on the player list either so I can't sync it with anything else. So unfortunately, it's not working the way I wanted it to work. I tried to be smart about it, but the Squeezebox is smarter, it seems ;) I'll toy around with the idea a little bit longer, unless you guys tell me right there and now that it's a lost cause... -- gNNY gNNY's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=30914 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=64246 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Multi room solution
Hi, my Duet can sync just fine between the receiver and the controller. But as soon as I add an MP3 based player (like my Computer using iTunes) the hardware players stop. Syncing between other MP3 streams works (e.g. iTunes and Noxon) but the receiver won't play as soon as an MP3 stream is involved. I've read on the Slimdevices Wiki that Other software clients, such as Winamp and XMMS cannot be synchronized to a hardware player since SqueezeCenter will have no control over the client's buffering. I suspect that this answers my question if sync between my receiver and an MP3 stream is possible or not (well, it's not), but I just wanted to get this confirmed here so that I can rule out a system defect.
