Agreed. I hadn't read 5091, but now that I have, I understand. dan -- chinablues chinablues's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7955 View this thread:

The SB3's interface is way better that Denon's I'd always prefer using the SB3 to the Denon, but occasionally I'd like to. In addition if the SC is a DLNA server it would probably be able to serve not only audio but also pictures to my PS3 for example. -- flacfan

Interesting thread... and I'm thinking of a new AV receiver I recently came across xAP for home automation and there is a plug-in already for SC 7.x http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/Software/xAP-Plug-in-v2.2.0-for-SqueezeCenter-Rleased.html General information here:

If Squeezecenter could control music flow to eg, Denon's range of Networked Audio devices does this not imply the death of Squeezboxes? Why have a transporter, squeezebox, duet receiver or boom when you can stream wirelessly directly to one of these:

b/c you now have the SBC. the SBC is the tie in, as explained in 5091. SBC or not, its backwards thinking to think that making the pgm more useful means less people will buy the hardware. people have a PS3 ANYWAY, or even the denon. this feature would expose them to the SB world. --

I voted for 5091 :-) It's been filed a long time ago, though. Hopefully it will get on the new features list soon. -- flacfan flacfan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17385 View this thread:

and isn't that crazy? why should you have to use something else when you already have SC? SC should support DLNA b/c the SBC is the natural tie in. join bugzilla, and vote for it, and spread the word. i plan to push hard for this after 7.3 is out.

Yay ! I've proved to myself. a) The Squeezecontroller is capable of controlling the Denon Receiver b) I can write it ! I've hacked the Doomsday demo app to mute and un-mute the amplifier using http commands. So I can presumably expand from there to full one way functionality. Ideally I'd

The receiver will accept command either by Telnet or by HTTP through it's network port. I figured either: a) I get the SBC to send the commands to the receiver. Initially volume up down, and power on / off would be more than enough. b) I get the SBC to send commands to the Squeezecenter server

There's a little program for Windows that can act as a nice interface and alternative to Denon's Web GUI. http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=949351 There has not been much development lately though. It basically communicates via Telnet. Kinda what one would want SC to do. Also,

Just got myself a Denon AVR-4306, one of it's novel features is a network connection. There is a web interface that allows you to control the amp. My thinking is to investigate the network control protocol, then somehow to get slimserver to control it. What do you guys think? Does anyone else

First I've got to say this sounds amazingly cool - controlling both a Squeezebox and a receiver through SlimServer. And you could have the receiver connected to the network using the Squeezebox wireless bridging feature! While the operation would be through a fairly simple parser, the GUI
