this puts the bottleneck in the worst possible place. take the webserver
and password protect it or firewall it or bind the webserver to localhost.

i can't remember if sync'ing softsqueeze w/ hardware players just works
poorly or isn't allowed at all. regardless, if this happens too often,
just shut them down.

[slim] Re: Squeezebox for me - Softsqueeze for the neighbours

2006-09-08 Thread aubuti

I would think the simplest solution would be for them to run their own
instance of slimserver (presumably on the same computer that is running
SoftSqueeze), and point it at your networked music library. That could
run into throughput issues, but might be worth a try.

Question: If you password protect slimserver, can the neighbors still
try to use SoftSqueeze to sync with the SB? If so, that could cause
problems, as sometimes slimserver fumbles at the beginning of tracks
when sync'ing players.
