The slimproto language that SBs use has been "opened up" for years, and someone with the programming skills and interest could write a SB frontend using that software. Someone already has written a foobar2k package for controlling Squeezeboxes, and I believe something similar exists for J River. In principle, there's no reason anyone couldn't do it today for winamp. Why do you think this great idea hasn't taken off? Or are you saying that Logitech devs should be writing the winamp, J River, and foobar plugins (why stop there, go for iTunes, the most popular desktop music software), and then rapidly regrouping every time those companies make a significant change to their API?

It's the same as the other Linux ARM builds. It "doesn't have all the features" because they are switched off via command line options. If you wanted to add web ui support, support for SliMP3 and SB1, plugins, etc you could by changing those command line options. And watch TinySBS really grind to a halt. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89143 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
