Hate to see a thread regarding a functionality I really would like to have in my SB2 go off into lala-land...
As far as I can tell: WOL is a "natural" functionality to build into a music playing device that needs to have a server available to make other noises than when the remote hits the floor. The SB(2) must have the MAC address of the Slimserver entered manually (should be shorter to enter than my WLAN encryption key ;-), apart from that it must be rather simple to have it put together a UDP broadcast package with the required 6*FF and 16*MAC of Slimserver PC... As to when it should happen, what secret combination of buttons to press on the remote to trigger it and/or what should be listed in the display when this happens, several far better suggestions than what I can come up with has been given in this (and other) threads. Off course fixing errors must be more important than adding new functionality - but since the box works wonders for me already now and this is the only thing I really miss, this is where I will make some noise. If only I could program myself I would love to try to contribute - but since I expect there will be license issues regarding access to a SDK for the firmware development, and since (based on previous experience) I will only get as far as making the box saying "Hello world!" during boot, I have to rely on others to help :-/ (I absolutely HATE the fact that I know what must be done, but have no chance of doing it myself) BR, -- getprogs _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
