Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Remote for Touch

So, can I control squeezebox touch and play the music from this hard disk using ipod touch -with ipeng- directly taking the pc off? Yes your computer can be off, iPeng on the iPod will communicate directly with your Squeezebox Touch. Sosa;494398 Wrote: And if is possible to do this, have i to turn on a wireless modem or ipod connects directly to squeezebox touch (and plays music from an hard disk connected via usb to squeezebox touch) without the need of a modem on? The iPod connects via wifi to your network, so yes you need to have a wireless access point or a router with wifi turned on. So to summarise, to play music using iPeng + Squeezebox Touch you need: - the USB drive plugged into the SB Touch - a wifi router/access point that the SB Touch is connected to (either by wifi or wired Ethernet) turned on - an iPod Touch/iPhone running iPeng -- andynormancx Yes, it will.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch or NAS
So much tech talk my head is spinning ! So some questions in plain English . . . Assuming a I have a Touch with an attached USB HDD; 1) I can manage (add, delete, organise, tag) files on the Touch HDD through my PC or Apple via the home wireless network. 2) The Touch will be able to play the content of the attached HDD with no PC needing to be on elsewhere. 3) Plugins, like Alien BBC, wouldn't be available (but they would be if one went down the conventional NAS / Squeezecentre route) 4) The Touch could feed other Squeezeboxes across a wireless network (e.g. the SB3 I have in my kitchen could play the files on the HDD attached to the Touch - would the Touch need to be switched on in this case and where would player settings need to be managed from). 5) Is bandwidth a problem ? Especially with high res 24/96 files which, in FLAC, are likley to consume, say, 2000kbs plus ?

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch or NAS
2. Yes, no computer needed to run USB HDD to Touch using TinySC server, assuming your music files are a native format to the Touch (Touch can handle most music audio formats) 4. Yes, Touch can be a controller for other players as well as the server for those players. Touch needs to be ON (standby) for the other players to see it. If Touch is plugged in it is ON, it's only true OFF state is unplugged. Basic player settings for the players being controlled by Touch are available. 5. Bandwidth: That is a limitation of your network throughput and/or WiFi signal strength and integrity. I can stream full WAV files to four synced players (three are WiFi, one is wired) without even a hiccup. But then others can get playback issues streaming a simple MP3 to a single WiFi player based on WiFi issues. -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72566 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

If so, where will this applet be obtained from - will it be downloaded directly to the Touch?

[SlimDevices: Touch] Touch - Bridging Function?
Does the Touch support Ethernet bridging over Wi-Fi like the earlier Squeeze Boxes? -- earthbased earthbased's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=334 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76162 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Hi earthbased It's certainly on the list, _but_ so far it doesn't look promising as the wireless chipset / driver we are using doesn't support bridging. https://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=11150 comment #4 Felix -- fcm4711 Focus means saying no. - Steve Jobs fcm4711's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=42 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76162 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Select your video source, then select an audio only source, enjoy both at the same time. :) Did just that with my old Yamaha. Bought the new Yamaha because I needed more HDMI inputs. I can't make this one do that. I currently have that Controller/player connected to Audio 1 and when I select that, the monitor goes blank, hence the need for another connection between the DVR and the AVR. If I could get Audio 1 and HDMI2 working at the same time, I could save that as one of the AVR's four scenes. I might be missing something but I've scoured the manual. -- jstraw jstraw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17008 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76173 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

eq72521;524879 Wrote: Which Yamaha? I don't personally need this feature (yet), but in my reading I found that a number of recent Yamaha models lack the ability to rearrange which audio/video inputs work together, which I think is what you need. However, apparently many have recent firmware updates that remedies this. I specifically have the V565 and read about this, and I imagine it applies to some other models as well. This is an HTR-6260 replacing a V363. When I add an Oppo Blu-Ray to the main system in the living room, I'll need more HDMI inputs there too and I'll probably replace the V663 out there with a V665 or HTR 6260. I don't have this issue to deal with because the Duet receiver is running through a tube DAC into a tube amp to the front speakers. I can have whatever I need on the screen out there in this configuration because the audio is coming from a different amp. Even if I'd known I'd need a composite cable to accomplish what I want with the 6250 in the bedroom, it wouldn't have been a deal-breaker. I have the cable and it's not a big deal. If there's a way to do select separate audio and video inputs for the same scene with the 6250, I'd be pleased and go that route. -- jstraw jstraw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17008 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76173 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
