u haven't missed anything... its the under the hood and obvious things...
i can't remember so much being changed in a point release. given the move to sqlite, faster/better scanning and auto scanning, upnp, and so on i think 8.0 is warranted. this feels like its going to be a milestone release. after this, i would think adding video support and improving the browsing exp would be the next big things to tackle. i think you are really underestimating what upnp will do not just functionally, but in terms of exposure of the product. no one would use SBS 7.5 or earlier unless they 1. had the hardware, or 2. had some really niche usage SBS filled. most people using the software do so b/c of #1. however, upnp server ability will make it attractive to users who currently pay for stuff like twonky, and who have a ps3 or other dlna gear. this exposure will generate some sales that otherwise would never have happened. this will only grow once video is added. the revue may be how andy got the greenlight to do it, but i think and have always thought upnp ability will have positive benefits that go beyond just supporting the revue, so if its the excuse needed, so be it. -- MrSinatra www.lion-radio.org using: sb2 & sbc (my home) / sbrec & ipeng (parents' home) - sbs 7.5.3b - win xp pro sp3 ie8 - p4(ht) 3.2ghz, 2gig ram - 1tb wd usb2 raid1 - d-link dir-655 - 45k+ mp3 ::VOTE FOR 'BUG 15604' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=15604)!!!:: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85577 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
