Could you use the keyboard shortcuts somehow? Another option would be slight of hand, there are command line methods to "press" any button on any client. So really any means that would take input from a remote or other control device, and send on a TCP request to the server could control it. -Chris On 4/4/06, SteveWong <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I've recently gone nuts with my Squeezebox setup at home: its made a > dream of whole home audio a reality.

[slim] Media Center version of Softsqueeze?
I've recently gone nuts with my Squeezebox setup at home: its made a dream of whole home audio a reality. I installed 4 SB3's and am ordering a couple more (if they will still honor a 100off2 promo still showing on the site). One thing I love and it saves some money is that Softsqueeze works very well and allows rooms with PCs in them to also synchronize the music. My office runs it now, and I want to extend this to the Media Center PC which powers our TV as a DVR. That way, we can still run a picture slideshow and have the same music playing as the rest of the house, via the existing AV setup. I can run softsqueeze in the background (either headless or full) but there's no easy way to control it via the Media Center's interface and running to the PC to stop or start it via the Slimserver web interface is a pain. Any chance of getting a MCE-friendly version of Softsqueeze? - Steve -- SteveWong SteveWong's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4867 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22735 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
