wizzbizz, Well, there's good news and bad news. The good news is that you can share the IP serial port interface between the SqzRuss program and another program controlling the Russound system with an iPhone. I do this myself with the Llamapanel iPhone app and the VSPE virtual serial ports

Cheers someonewho The Llamapanel iPhone app is what i hope to use as well but I am gutted about the duet not working. oh well its bought now. If i bought a squeezebox classic on the cheap would it work? It would mean having to give over another port on the cav6.6 but as I have 2 free it wouldnt

My computer(s) are nowhere near my CAV6.6 Is there any other way to connect the computer that is running the VSPE to the CAV6.6 besides that RS-232 serial cable? Is there some sort of way to connect via ethernet? My home is LAN wired down to where the CAV6.6 is located in the basement closet.

Sully, Yes, there is a way to do this. I recently learned that there are IP-to-serial devices that can effectively replace what VSPE does. Two such products are the Elk IP232 and the Startech NETRS2321E. You should find these for around $130 to $140. In the SqzRuss.ini file you just replace

That's a bit steep, though your quick reply is much appreciated. Do you think -any- ethernet to serial bridge would work? I saw one for $35 here: http://www.blackbox.com/Store/Detail.aspx/LA126?CAWELAID=415403267 but I don't know anything about these things.-- -- sully1971

Sully, That product looks like a simple cable pin-out adapter. It's possible you could put one of those at each end of the cat 5 cable to make it essentially a long serial cable (if the cat5 cable is not too long to carry the signal). You would *not* connect the cat5 cable to your network and

I have not implemented as of yet. I have SS working on a LinkStation and it is not upgradeable. Current release is 6.3.1. So I am frantically working on getting that to a supported release for your code. I have a serial run to my HAI system so I may need to split that to have both connected.

The Virtual Serial Ports Emulator Program (VSPE) lets you have two programs sharing the physical serial port at the same time. You just create a Splitter device in addition to the Tcp server device. I use it in this configuration to have the SqzRuss program and Russound RNet analyzer running at

All, I've written a program that integrates the Squeezebox with Russound's RNET audio system keypads. Basically, the program does two things. First, it echoes, in near-real time, whatever is on the Squeezebox display to the Russound keypad's display. Second, it allows the Russound keypad's
