Known Issues:
- Sporadic behavior while SlimServer is building the library
- Synchronization has been tested and works with SoftSqueeze 2.0. Other versions of SoftSqueeze may not synchronize correctly.
- Due to the incomplete SqueezeBox emulation in the SoundBridge, synchronization may not be possible between SlimRoku and the Roku SoundBridge (sorry Burkhardi!).
- In order for SlimRoku to work properly, you'll need to make sure the following ports are open:
- 3483 UDP - SlimServer discovery
- 3483 TCP - SlimServer communication
- 9000 TCP - Audio stream playback and cover art display
- 9090 TCP - Music library access
