Thanks Andy ... I was actually thinking somewhat along the lines of the original poster, to use the Nokia 770 Media Streamer app to control my SB2. Ben Klaas' Nokia Skin is quite awesome... but sometimes I feel a native application on the Nokia might be a little more convenient, sort of like Moose on the PC. Instead of building a whole new app, it might be less effort to use the Media Streamer app with a plugin on slimserver. On a more 'it would be fun if it worked' note (My SB2 is in my main system, and I think its one of the best purchases I have ever made - but I also have a Sonos system which is pretty awesome and very convenient in other parts of the house), it would be awesome if I could link up the two systems. The Sonos system has a pretty closed architecture, but one of the things I noticed is that the controller is essentially a UPnP control point (and can be replaced with an external control point) .. so perhaps with a little work it might be used to control some external MediaServer (slimserver) and external Renderer (a Squeezebox/Transporter) essentially it would be like another 'Zone' ... this is all probably wishful thinking, but one can dream :) Nikhil -- Nikhil ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nikhil's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=993 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27103 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
