    Slimserver & itouch

    After some trials and decision making I've decided to use the slimserver with squeezebox duets, for my whole house audio.

    It offers many benefits over other systems in terms of it's open source an established array of plugs and cli / url support. I was wondering if any one else in the brick community is using squeezeboxes and controlling via webgateway etc?

    The endpoint players have l/r channels and digital audio and I intend to place one in most rooms which can then merge into the amp for the room.

    With 2.0 from apply now out there is very likely to be an app out soon to control them also, so the itouch is fast becoming  my choice of control panel also. Just need to somehome improve the web interface speed or write my own app for the webbrick? Anyone already down that path?

     I'm using Slimserver with the IPeng add-on for the IPhone / ITouch - I guess that there will be a dedicated app at some point it works well at the moment.The Slimserver web interface is good enough on the new version to control on my 15" fixed point touch screen, but can be a little tempremental.

    I'm also using SoftSqueeze (software emulation of their hardware) in rooms where there is a PC and speakers. 

     Question for me is if there is an app for web bricks.

     Hi Paul,

     I've tried (and continue) to use iPeng on the itouch/iphone, there is talk of them going native which is pretty essential as in my book the web verison is too slow to be wife proof, I know she would get fed up waiting for the pages to load.

    as there is a decent api, it should be very easy to drive from the brick/gateway and to me it looks much more flexible than the locked down itunes route.
