Re: [slim] Can I use iPeng playback away from home?

2011-06-29 Thread Kyle

My router is an Apple Time Capsule. Can I set it up for VPN, as this
seems more secure. My server is on my primary home computer, an iMac.

Doh! Thank you - I'll give that a try asap.  I've got a Touch, SB3 and
Duet and I stream to all of them lossless so it never dawned on me to
stream mp3 remotely.

You have to install Lame and then you will be able to tell SBS (for
that player) to "limit bitrate" and it (SBS) will convert on-the-fly to
mp3 for your remote enjoyment.

This is easy to fix:

You can install Lame and tell your server to transcode to MP3 at your
selected bitrate.

If you have questions, type.

2011-06-28 Thread mdconnelly

You need to punch holes in your network firewall to enable remote access
to certain ports.  Check here for instructions:

http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/ConnectingRemotely

The difficulty (for me) is that my upload bandwidth is small so
attempting to stream music from my home PC, out my router, over the
internet and to wherever I happen to be is marginal at best.  Sometimes
it works, but more often than not, playback stutters or stalls
completely.

But, it can still be very useful even if you have this problem.  What I
really like is that if I'm shopping for music (store, yardsale, etc...)
I can easily use iPeng on my phone to check to see if I already have an
album.  That's convenient!

[slim] Can I use iPeng playback away from home?

2011-06-28 Thread Kyle

Can I access my music collection through iPeng if I'm not on my network?
I have Squeezecenter on a Mac if that makes any difference.
