@Hinkel, thanks for that info. Tried a UPnP server, but that still only allows me to browse existing content, not control the input stream from other LAN-connected clients.
Before installing the SMP, I could select and queue any number of media files (local or Internet) without downloading, then stream/play each in sequence without any further input. Total time for setup was no more than half-a-minute. But the only way I find to do this with the SMP is to:
- Download each file to a temporary directory – can take several minutes
- Address SMP, either by remote or by web gui, select files to play
- Remember to go back and delete media files when done
If there’s no easier way, this SMP is headed back to Amazon!
All a firmware update would have to provide is either:
- A simple web browser (even just text-based) in which media selections could be made, or
- An open port that would receive and play all media streams sent to it.
Of course, any suggestions are welcome.
