I wrote up an approach using slimp3 years ago
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/278169#278169

since then slimp3 does not work well for me and I have been thinking
of revamping it using squeezeslave. Currently if I ssh into my
frontend and execute

squeezeslave  -D -F -n spdif

I get a display on screen like a squeezebox (basic model). It
willeasily fit in with a remote as it is key driven:

 Keys: 0-9:             0-9
                                  Insert or I      Add
                                  Cursor Keys      Arrows
                                  >,<              Fwd,Rew
                                  Home or H        Home
                                  End or N         Now Playing
                                  Space or P       Pause
                                  Enter            Play
                                  Q                Quit
                                  R                Repeat
                                  S                Shuffle
                                  ?                Search
                                  b                Browse
                                  F                Favourites
                                  %                Size
                                  Z                Sleep
                                  +,-              Vol up,down

I will probably incorporate it into a shell like I did slimp3 per my
2007 post, when I get round to it.

I would love George to redo his mythsqueeze plugin, it'd look much nicer.
