my setup is foobar - tyefighter - 03-Mar-2017 Hey guys Up until recently I have been using apple remote app on an iphone/ipad to control my laptop and foobar 2000 with the aide of foo_touchremote component. This however with the recent remote app update has stopped working and with the foo_touchromote no longer being supported I feel that no solution will be forthcoming. The logical solution would be Roon or a Melco type device, however with all the uncertainty of what to expect from the streamer board I am reluctant to jump in, laying down any financial commitment just yet. So i guess my question is are there any low outlay options I can adopt until Devialet play their hand? RE: my setup is foobar - Dr Tone - 03-Mar-2017 Roon is completely unrelated to the streamer board and could replace foobar on your laptop and be controlled by Roon remote on your iPhone & iPad. RE: my setup is foobar - Fragoulisnaval - 03-Mar-2017 You can also try MUSIChi Suite client/server solution, however you will need one pc (acting as the server) and another one (or windows tablet) acting as the control point.

I understand that but maybe the streamer board may open up further options for us. Or maybe I'm being naive to expect anything from this streamer board at all.

I had a quick look but couldn't see if an ios device could be used as a control point? RE: my setup is foobar - tyefighter - 03-Mar-2017 I realise Roon is very popular with Devialet users but surely there must be a number of other options available to me? so far I see Roon and Roon control for ipad Foobar 2000 with Apple Remote (not longer supported) Foobar 2000 with Monketmote (I've tried Monketmote lite who's connection has been a bit sketchy tbh) Jriver and Jremote (not tried yet but Jriver doesn't seem to have the most love from users) itunes with Apple Remote (itunes doesn't support flac files) RE: my setup is foobar - Fragoulisnaval - 03-Mar-2017 (03-Mar-2017, 21:37)tyefighter Wrote:(03-Mar-2017, 02:59)Dr Tone Wrote: Roon is completely unrelated to the streamer board and could replace foobar on your laptop and be controlled by Roon remote on your iPhone & iPad. Not currently but the developer in a newsletter said he is working on it RE: my setup is foobar - Dr Tone - 03-Mar-2017 (03-Mar-2017, 21:37)tyefighter Wrote:(03-Mar-2017, 02:59)Dr Tone Wrote: Roon is completely unrelated to the streamer board and could replace foobar on your laptop and be controlled by Roon remote on your iPhone & iPad. The streaming board might allow you to ditch the laptop in the playback chain. That's about all it could offer you above and beyond what you can achieve right now. |
