Hi all

Can anyone please advice

Using Squeezebox duett or softsqueeze

Im trying to connect "externally" over internet to my slimserver using tripodes excellent spotify plugin. (using spotify on my local lan works fine)

Connect works fine, same with navigation but no sound and it seems like the songs never starts and fast skips with errors.

Tried same setup over internet playing "locally" stored music files works fine.

Please help any tips

I would not recommend this configuration as the audio stream between the server and player will be high bitrate (flac) and hence you need significant upstream bandwidth for it.

Do you have a reall squeezebox at the remote location - if so suggest you install a second server there. If not suggest you use an alternative Spotify client as the plugin is not designed for remote players.
