I believe the Revue also runs Linux by the way.
You would obviously need a PC to control Squeezeboxes with popular software plugins. What I mean is that - developping SBS LMS for Linux (not speaking about Touch hardware, which is TinySBS, not SBS) seems pointless to me if Windows/OSX is not acceptable, an it is not, and developer team cannot face all that. So if you really want to develop SBS/LMS, focus on Windows, may be OSX if you can afford it, don't care about Linux. - I think that the best solution with a computer on would be to forget about LMS/SBS (computer required), but work out a dev toolkit to use popular and successful softwares, Squeezebox being some kind of "smart ethernet soundcard" of great quality. - The solution without computer is a TinySBS (no SBS, no LMS). Ok the hardware is not powerful enough, but if you forget about SBS/LMS, you can tune it better. You will have to forget geek hype and plugins, but the team cannot work on everything. A good thing could be to compute de database on a real PC with a software (scanner, nothing else) giving the TinySBS database on the USB device to save time. -- nicolas75 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nicolas75's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15823 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89143 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
