Hi epoch1970, I saw your post and i think the extra's like iptables, vpn etc can be handled on a network level. if you configure a router with something like ddwrt or openwrt you can configure everything to your desire. if you want to, you can just create a tunnel between the routers from both sites. The picoreplayer can be used out of the box as all the extras are on network level. You however need 1 extra device for the LMS server, OR you can configure 1 picoreplayer device to run the LMS server next to the player. Dont worry about syncing and reliability, this is handeled by the LMS server and works perfectly. for artist rights wise, it depends on what you want to play. If you play from an mp3 library, you can build playlists and base the taxing on that. you can also stream radio and pay a general fee. Depending on your country's laws. I would definatly opt for raspi 2's if you plan to go full wired. This improves the streaming stability. Also make sure you use official raspi power supplies. Otherwise your devices might be underpowered. And for a android squeeze controller ap i would recommend Squeezer, its free and does everything you want. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ stewie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66258 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105997 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
