You could save yourself one SqueezeBox if you used a PC in it's place, in the basement (running SoftSqueeze). Since you need a PC anyway, it's not like you're buying an extra piece of equipment. On the other hand, you would then have to go to the basement to use the PC :) That said, the basement seems to be an uncommonly popular place to put the music server, and you may already have it there if it's connected to your amp directly.

Re: [slim] Can a SqueezeBox control volume of another SB
Quoting LarryD <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: I would like to know if one SqueezeBox3 can control the volume on another SqueezeBox3. Look into ShadowPlay: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?PluginRemoteControls Or, you can simply sync the players and set the prefs to sync volume as well. see player settings. -kdf ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Can a SqueezeBox control volume of another SB
I would like to know if one SqueezeBox3 can control the volume on another SqueezeBox3. I have a central amplifier in my basement connected to multiple sets of speakers throughout the house. Each set of speakers has an in-wall volume control, but the volume control is limited in its range. I have two issues I would like to solve: (A) I have to go to the basement to change or select music. (B) To completely control volume I need to adjust the room volumes AND either the amplifiers volume or the source to the amplifier. Often the room volume control alone is adequate, but not always. I think I can solve (A) with two SqueezeBox3 devices: one upstairs working with the infrared remote control; and the second attached to the Amplifier (in the basement). The first SqueezeBox3 would only control the second one. Usually I would not have anything attached to the audio outputs of the first SqueezeBox3; it would act as my User Interface. QUESTION: Can I solve issue (B) with this configuration? I think it comes down to this: can one SqueezeBox3 control the volume output of another SqueezeBox3? I dont need to actually control the Amplifiers volume if I can control the SqueezeBox3 output volume remotely from the first SqueezeBox3. Has anyone tried this and been successful? Please let me know. Also, if Ive made any wrong assumptions Id appreciate knowing that too. (Im very technical so I dont think Id have any setup issues if someone told me what needed to be done. I should be able to figure the details.) -- LarryD LarryD's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4879 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22781 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
