I will be writing a part 2 (when I get the time!) to document further things I have learnt/done with Arch & KDE. Good luck, let me know how you get on.

Would be a great feature to sync music in different rooms. Cheers. Is there anyway to change the buffer offset or delay the audio playback on the host machine??

Have you tried to get the update running as a cron job? I'm trying just that but need to somehow get the sudo command to work without me being there to type in the password. My to crontab entries are: 0 */6 * * * * sudo minidlna -R 0 3 * * * * sudo /etc/init.d/mnidlna restart But these won't run with the sudo privilages. I have read that there is a way using the sudoers file but have not yet used that and don't know how. Have you or anyone else here had a go at that yet or can you advise how we can automate the update function? Hi Ben,

Great set-up description.

Have you tried to get the update running as a cron job? I’m trying just that but need to somehow get the sudo command to work without me being there to type in the password.

My to crontab entries are:

0 */6 * * * * sudo minidlna -R
0 3 * * * * sudo /etc/init.d/mnidlna restart

But these won’t run with the sudo privilages. I have read that there is a way using the sudoers file but have not yet used that and don’t know how. Have you or anyone else here had a go at that yet or can you advise how we can automate the update function?
