Pandora via softsqueeze

[sfraser]

If I am traveling, is there anyway i can connect to squeezenetwork/pandora from softsqueeze on my laptop. Typically it always wants to connect directly to the configured squeezebox, and hangs when it can't find it

Thanks

You can tell SoftSqueeze to connect directly to SN by setting the
SlimServer address to 207.7.156.10.

Please note that while Softsqueeze currently does work with
SqueezeNetwork, it's not an officially supported configuration.

We may need to disable it in the future, depending on load, security
issues, etc...

You can tell SoftSqueeze to connect directly to SN by setting the

When I connect Softsqueeze to Squeezenetwork in this way, I can play radio streams OK. But when I try to configure a Pandora account on the Squeezenetwork web pages, I get the following message:
Error: You do not have any Squeezeboxes registered to your SqueezeNetwork account. Please click the Squeezeboxes link above to add your player.

Does Squeezenetwork differentiate Softsqueeze from a hardware Squeezebox in some way?

You must have at least 1 SB2/3 on your SN account to use Pandora.

That works but is there a way to sync the SB3 and SoftSqueeze, like you can thru the Slimserver?

thx

At this time, no, you can't sync anything with SqueezeNetwork. That applies to both hardware SBs and SoftSqueeze. I understand they're working on it (see the thread http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24960).
