Squeeze Center Freedom
Posted in system admin on 05/26/2009 10:24 am by lmorroniSo I wanted to share this one with you guys because I was kind of blown away. I played Poker at my friend’s house on Friday and wanted access to my music library and play lists in Squeeze Center. I decided to open the two SC ports to the world for my work server running Squeeze Center. I have a hefty 15 down/15 up at work. I had a buddy of mine test the system by running SqueezePlay from his office and it worked like a charm. SqueezePlay is a tad buggy and I would not recommend it as a solid desktop app but for situations where you just want a dumb terminal that will stream SC, it’s perfect. So I went to the poker game, installed SqueezePlay and away we went. The only problem was no remote and we all know we have to have a remote! My iPhone and iPeng to the rescue. I pointed iPeng to my work server as well and it connected without issue. Response time was very good. Basically, I was sitting at a friend’s house, with my iPhone and a laptop and streaming/controlling music from my office. It was awesome and worked without the slightest skip/crash for an entire 4 hour poker match.
Gotta love it.
