Hi, So I was hoping to use this plugin to make the SB setup transparent to those who can't quite get handle of it and want to play music off the phones when in my house. For that I would very much like to have the Squeezelite players work. Here are some musings of someone who has no idea how the API works, so I don't know if any of the below is feasible: I have two Squeezelite players and one fake device through your UPnP bridge. Looking at the player info, the Squeezelite players supply a firmware version which your UPnP bridge device does not. A simplest thing you could maybe filter out all those Squeezelite players which don't supply a firmware version and allow the ShairTunes plugin to create players on the real Squeezelite players. As a kind of more complicated upgrade, maybe your plugins could provide a fake firmware version telling you what the original player was, i.e. say "UPnP" or "Airplay" or "Chromecast" and then you'd know where to break the chain. Then you could create Airplay devices for all the UPnPs and Chromecasts but stop the recursion. As a third option (maybe easier to manage), maybe you could give the user an option of specifying a string in the Player name which would mean that a ShairTunes player is requested. Say if the player has a name ending in "+AP", then ShairTunes will try to create a speaker from it (and the Airplay bridge would ignore it). I guess this would depend on users having the updated version of the Airport bridge plugin and you might run into some issues with those who don't upgrade. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wigster's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14899 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103783 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
