Had the intruder also managed to video this it may have made an entertaining Youtube video which would probably have gone viral.

Serviio port forward how to#

I and the rest of the family was then rudely awakened by ABBAвЂ™s Dancing Queen (being alphabetically the first song in the system) being played at full volume throughout the house at 3:00am (those Genelecs in the main system go very loud!) whilst we staggered about trying to work out what was going on and then how to turn it off!

This work fine until some nasty little b***** found my external IP address had open ports and realised they were Squeezebox ports.

Prior to sorting out a VPN arrangement I had just opened port forwarding to my squeezebox server and streamed directly to my office system without encryption or access control. Incidentally, a cautionary tale regarding security and remote music access. So whilst feasible, there are probably other things higher up the priority list. The alternative may be a secure connection to a cloud server from home which can be securely accessed from your mobile device when away from home.Д®ither of these would require some development and a fair amount of testing to ensure there are no security holes. To connect directly to your home would require a VPN server either on your Roon server along with port forwarding on your router, or preferably a router with built in VPN server (I use a Draytek for this) which is more secure. There are a number of security issues that would need to be sorted out for this to work in a simple enough way for the end user. However these are a bit nerdy and I can see why something similar isnвЂ™t available for Roon. For this, like the guy in the Youtube video, I use orageSqueeze but have added Squeezeplayer and play directly to my phone, or at work via VPN on a RPI using squeezelite and DAC all of which works very nicely. One of the reasons is not being able to play my music collection away from the house.

I have to admit, I havenвЂ™t got Roon yet and am long time Squeezebox user. And maybe thatвЂ™s would he should have said clearly, rather than trying to act вЂcoolвЂ™ (were my thoughts) with a convoluted message. Over and above JohnвЂ™s вЂoddвЂ™ video presentation, thereвЂ™s no doubt having the option to see all your library anywhere would be welcome. Again, likely not a dealbreaker with large storage & your fav streaming service/s. If you were planning a holiday, (likely alone), for a few months or more, then yes having full access to all your music would be ideal. Using his scenario, I believe thatвЂ™s rather niche. ThatвЂ™s on the basis you just had to listen to those albums when you were out alone having a coffee & the entire selection from those streaming services didnвЂ™t do it for you on a particular day. And so for those few albums that arenвЂ™t available (as John showed in his collection), IвЂ™d reckon storage via phone/dap would be ample. I suspect most users on a day to day basis when they are away from their Roon core, already have the means to access a good selection of music.ДЄs we know most users subscribe to a streaming service, they already have a mega large library to choose from when out & about. So Roon вЂon the goвЂ™ would be most welcome, albeit I donвЂ™t see it happening anytime soon (if at all).ДЎTB cards are available & sufficient for most users IвЂ™d need 4. A full library on the go is not exactly what John was talking about, although he should have just said it, rather than the convoluted story of having a few CDвЂ™s not available to him via his fav streaming services.
