.local is from avahi/zeroconf. pCP can send curl commands to the LMS server all day long. There are other ways to automatically find IP address of your LMS server....much lighter weight than avahi
There is a program supplied with pcp called "find_servers" This will find all discoverable LMS servers on your network. The way we prefer to do it in pcp, is to look at the local device and see what LMS server squeezelite is connected to. Code: -------------------- IP=$(netstat -nt 2>&1 | grep :3483 | grep ESTABLISHED | uniq -f 4 | awk '{ print $5 }' | grep :3483 | awk -F: '{ print $1 }') -------------------- piCorePlayer a small player for the Raspberry Pi in RAM.
