Re: [slim] stream from android tablet?
Some of the Android DLNA apps do allow streaming of some on line stuff to a renderer device. Not sure how well they work though. Additionally there are apps that leverage DNLA streaming from Google music, not sure there's an equivalent for Spotify though. Personally I use Airplay, which requires a rooted tablet and my main "Squeezebox" isn't a squeezebox but an O2 Joggler which runs Shairplay as well as Squeezeplay and Squeezelite. It works very well for the occasional use.

But if I want don't have a file on the LG because I want to stream spotify, or youtube audio, from my LG tablet then presumably DLNA is of no use? rbl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4517 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100905 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] stream from android tablet?
Well I asked LG if their tablet works with aptX and they say it doesn't. Back to square one. Seems crazy that I can't wirelessly get decent sound out of this thing! rbl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4517 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100905 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

An alternative would be to use Airplay Get an airplay app for android and then use Shairplay plugin on LMS but airplay compatible plugin for LMS seem to be a bit fiddly and you may need to build the support binaries for your LMS platform. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100905 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Have to say reviews on amazon are very > mixed! The problem is the codec. Bluetooth audio doesn't just use a regular network connection, it's a special profile that re-encodes the audio with it's own lossy codec. In theory, devices can decide what codec to use and there are good ones as well but in practice all just use the crappy default one because to do otherwise both the sender and the receiver would have to support the same one. Most tablets and phones only support that one, too. --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 7, the Universal App for iOS 7* pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100905 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I don't think LMS runs on Android. I have a Win8 tablet (Surface 2 Pro), have installed LMS and used it to stream to a Boom while on vacation. Only problems is that I needed a router, which fortunately the hotel I was staying at had. In the past I've used a netbook running Win7 connected to the Boom directly through an ad hoc network, rendering a router unnecessary, but it seems ad hoc networks aren't supported in Win 8.1. Very nice, sitting on the deck, looking at the beach and the surf, listening to music. R.

Latency with Bluetooth is not tht much of an issue. Usually around 50ms.

Re: [slim] stream from android tablet?
Oh! So I guess I have to get a bluetooth audio receiver but I don't get the feeling that the sound quality is much good with those, and the range is pretty rubbish too. And latency will presumably be significant too, although I am less worried about that.
