with XBMC as a sync'd SB player, does that mean I could use the XBMC gui as a controller for my physical SB3 device? navigate the library, start and control playback etc via XBMC with audio output synced on my SB3?

I currently favour SB3 for sound quality, but love the XBMC visuals for music library and now-playing.

I don't know.
Maybe it could be done like that: Synchronize XBMC and your SB3, mute XBMC, listen to SB3 and control both with XBMC.

Ok, I understand that Smile
I hope my plan is doable for me... I'd like to do that as a semester project for my studies.
Can you give me a very rough estimate how hard this will be?


As promised here's the log when I want to play the LMS UPnP/DLNA source:

Ups, I've just realised that mp3s work just fine and only flac isn't played.
But my SB Touch plays the flacs just fine.
And when I add the music in XBMC as smb source I can play the flac without problems.

Ah btw: This is on a Shuttle XS35GTV2 with openELEC running.
If there's any difference on my HTPC running Ubuntu 10.04 I'll post it here...

How much time it takes depends on you..

About your UPNP problem? A full log will show your XBMC version and other important info... To be sure this problem isn't already fixed, it's best to test with a git version of xbmc. You need to compile XBMC yourself.

So lot's of reading to do for you...

Succes! I'm out of here.

Thanks Robotica!

I'd like to start next semester (February 2012) with the project. So I'll have some time to do the homework you gave me Big Grin

Yes, I'm aware of this.
I was asking because if it would take much more than 300 hours for an experienced XBMC programmer I'll have to split the project.
But if you can't tell I'll just jump in at the deep end.

Openelec has daily eden builds, since your already familiar with it: http://sources.openelec.tv/tmp/image/openelec-eden/

Just install it to a separate flash drive so you don't have to affect your current working setup.
