Hi,
I have two of these "old" Sony network speaker. They have great sound, offer Airplay and a "Party Mode" to synchronize several speakers (i.e. Multiroom audio). Sounds pretty similar to LMS/Squeezlite/PiCoreplayer etc., doesn't it?
To my big surprise, after having integrated two PiCoreplayer Raspis into my network (one of them running LMS), the players showed up in Sonys Remote App, listed together with the two Sony speakers; also LMS is listed in the app as a music source, see attached screenshot.
Unfortunately, playback doesn't work.
Does anybody have information about which is the firmware used by Sony and if it's possible to modify it in order to have a kind of Sony Squeezebox? This would be really great, as you can get those NS speakers (there is also a samller model) pretty cheap in ebay.
Best regards
Martin
