Yeah, I tried Radio Paradise through my VAMP and it sounded fine...

You should be able to use Xsqueeze since openelec is just an xbmc box.
Xsqueeze uses squeezelite on the back end which you just configure to
point to your vortexbox LMS.

There's an issue with...

Hi Mark,

Don't use cifs to transfer the files... just use rsync over ssh.
Login to the ubuntu box, and cd to the source directory. Then rsync
the stuff directly from there like this.



cd...

What in the logs? Try this:



tail /var/log/cdrip.log

I assume you're running xmbc on that openelec? I've been using xbmcbuntu (similar) with Xsqueeze to stream from an LMS.
It works OK, has its quirks.

Don't know about airplay, is that a...

+1 to enz01's point. Early on, the one time I (mis)used bliss it
wrecked my collection in minutes. Then it asked me to pay for the
pleasure. :) Since then, I'll do manually whatever the default...

Don't remove the memory stick. You need to sacrifice it to the vamp.

Right, of course squeeze-based for any home hardwire stuff (including
VAMP!).. I can't comment on any of the i-things since I don't use
apple for anything these days.

Ian, good point... the subsonic app (and it's cousin Dsub) will
donwload and hold a cache of tracks which can later be played offline.
E.g. if I know I'm going to go out of range, while I'm home I...

Hi Ian, seriously look at Subsonic. I use it all the time for office,
travel, vacations. Works on phones, laptops, desktops. Android app,
chrome plugin. No need to transcode to mp3 since it...

Additional tip: while watching a top display, hit "1" to see per-core CPU utilization.

That HP microserver is a dual-core AMD processor, so you could get
twice as much work done by running two threads for the job. It's
certainly no CPU powerhouse, but it wasn't built for that.

But, mp3 tag is not cross-platform. Doesn't it only run on microsoft OS?

Did you try booting it without the USB drive connected?

The SB Touch can be an LMS server, the Touch software is built-in to
serve the contents found on its native USB port. The VAMP does not
have this capability without some hacking. You'd probably...

Looking at the script, it appears that we're all using the same
credentials for access. These probably belong to you Andrew? All of
us VB users hitting the same account may be triggering some...

Hey, this is new... at least since the last time I did a bunch of
ripping. Does anyone know what gives with this?

Check to see how often your IP actually changes. My verizon fios IP hasn't changed since they put it in.

Make sure you forward both TCP and UDP for that 3483.
If you forward TCP port 22 you can also ssh to the box and hack from across town.

Yes, thanks... I had forgotten about the 3483.

You don't need port 80 for the remote squeezelite/box/radio/vamp to play..
Better to keep it closed unless you need it for something else.

Yes, that works... I use it to run squeezelite and listen to music at work. Insecure, yes. :)
I can also use it to turn on radios and such around the house and spook my wife.

I think for the fedora case, you simply change the file
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 to contain:

ONBOOT=no

Of course, make sure the ifcfg-eth1 has "yes".

Or, simply a laptop and a browser and pilot the player(s) using the LMS web UI itself.

I do exactly what you're describing on an android phone with Orange
Squeeze at my other house. Setup a cheap wireless router and don't
use the WAN port, just let it route locally. Plug your...

Lazier still to allow daemons to run amok on your system without knowing why. :)
