Sure it's probably safe, but 23 pages? That's a lot of work when the end goal is to just be lazy. Not knocking it, just baffled by the amount of effort put into automation.

I followed this one which covers the same apps (I didn't end up installing serviio which it also recommends).

Maybe some less-lazy person can have a quick look and see if there are any interesting differences.

Wow ! Thanks a lot for this tutorial !Its well done

I'm glad I looked at this post, I had never heard of Headphones.

Thanks

Interesting stuff. Will definitely browse this tonight. I've never gotten couch potato to work properly (at least I can't tell if I have) so I hope this guide gives me some pointers.
