Just wanted to report back and say that I've successfully set-up SLX with multi-room for 4 players all running from a small NUC PC that is connected to a USB sound interface. The sound interface is the Gigaport eX, which allows Windows to see 4 individual stereo outputs. The outputs are then connected to a multi-zone amplifier via RCA cables. One question and maybe suggestion I had: I have my LMS running in a VM on the same PC, so when I restart the PC, SLX auto-starts very quickly, before the LMS has time to start up. Is there a way to create a start delay for SLX on boot-up? Or maybe I missed it earlier, but will SLX recheck for a connection to a LMS after a set amount of time? Thanks again for the awesome work!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ moto2000's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=72948 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108550 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
