Also an SB can't access files via FTP. And the source must be available from the Internet - can you access your drive from work, for example? > And if this is a local address it should be possible to access the > file... Yes but it has to be streaming, and it has to be available over the Internet. I suppose you could: 1. Set up an Icecast/Shoutcast station. Your network hard drive may not be able to do this. 2. Port-forward the drive on your router - this is a different port and service than FTP. You would also have to secure access, limiting access to your own IP address. Otherwise the entire Internet will be able to snoop in on the stream and may be able to do other, more interesting things... 3. Tune into that stream. But you'd have to use the streaming software interface to change songs. I've never heard of this done before. Check in the third party hardware forum, you may be able to install SqueezeCenter on your network drive which will do exactly what you want. -- Mark Lanctot Current: SB2, Transporter, Boom (PQP3 - late beta) Stored: Boom (PQP1 - early beta), SBC (beta - no battery) Sold: SB3, Duet ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=56219 _______________________________________________ squeezenetwork mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/squeezenetwork
