having a little difficulty getting the OS-X binaries to run on the Mac Mini...
I ain't a Mac guy. I treat the Mini as a music player, and as a turnkey appliance it works for me. I managed to download the OS-X app(s), but simple things like running them in a terminal window don't work for me, so I'm stuck. Can you provide the "baby steps" to get me up and running? :)

Try this as told to me by the code author philippe_44:
"in a terminal window, type "./squeeze2upnp-osx-x64_86 -h" to see all the options (you'll see the -i option). If squeeze2upnp does not run, do a "chmod +x ./squeeze2upnp-osx-x64_86"
The type "./squeeze2upnp-osx-x64_86 -i myconfig.xml". Wait 30 seconds and sq2u will automatically close as soon as he has discovered upnp players (note the "./" before "squeeze...")
If that doesn't work, post here and I will help you troubleshoot.
Well, after correcting a minor pilot's error (don't ask :) ), it all now works swimmingly on the Mac Mini!
This is much easier than my previous plan (hack one of my Touch units to enable the USB output and connect to Oppo USB input). I may yet try it to assess any SQ differences, but that's a low priority project.
Thanks for the assistance!

I am still having issues with playlists not moving to the next track with my configuration. Do your playlists work on both the mac and Win?
Hmmm...
When I use LMS on the Mac directly, everything seems to work fine.
But when I use iPeng, play stops after each song; hitting FF starts the next song... is that the issue you are seeing?
Experimenting with the config file and the player this weekend... stay tuned...
Cerebrate!
Hmmmm.... after much experimentation, I'm seeing some the same behavior that you describe. Songs play, but the whole thing stops at the end of a song. Hitting FF gets me to the next song. The behavior is consistent across MAC/PC.
I read the thread over at GITHUB. The suggestion seemed to be to set accept_nexturi to 0 in the config file. I have tried setting it to 0 and to 1; behavior does not change in my system.
So, despite my early enthusiasm, this seems to be just short of working. It is very close -- I am hoping you and the others can find a configuration that is robust. If you'd like me to try any experiments (eg run a particular config.xml configuration and capture log files), let me know.
Cerebrate!
I'd suggest posting on the slim forum thread, since philippe is reading those comments and responding. I am scintilla.
That is the problem I see. Philippe posted a possible solution on the Squeezeform thread referenced somewhere above in this thread. I will let you know if it works for me.
Good question. :) I haven't done much more than play some albums straight through. I did just try some playlists; they seemed to move from one song to the next without issue, but then I only tested for about 10 min or so. What is the problem you are having?
One thing I noticed is that my implementation is not yet robust. While listening to an album, using iPeng as a remote... hit the "next" button, advance to next song... "next"... "next"... crash! iPeng thinks music is still playing, LMS on server thinks it is still playing, Oppo is sitting there doing nothing. Power cycle the Oppo, can then start playing songs again. This is very repeatable -- three "nexts" and you're out!
So, basic stuff seems to work for me, other things... we'll see.
Cerebrate!
What do you mean "hack" a Touch to enable the USB output?
If you mean run the software app that enables the USB output: it's hardly a hack and "everybody" does it because even if you won't use the USB output, you get better performance and more options. IOW you are hobbling yourself by not doing it, whatever you use the SBT for. It's painless and has no downside at all.
Just an app? Cool! I thought one needed to recompile the Linux OS of the Touch to add the capability; that would rise to the level of my meaning of the word "hack". Perhaps this has been automated to the level of just pushing a button now? :)
I didn't know that one would get better performance from this change. Pardon my ignorance, but what does "better" in this case mean?
Cerebrate!
