Mainly i think of a Unit that might be worth to be sold by Slim Devices/Logitech. The Idea is, that you could use the server that runs SqueezeCenter as a Player too, without the need of a Monitor. Therefore i See two Scenarios 1.) Your Squeezecenter is running on your Mediacenter in the living room and You want to use it without switching the TV on or 2.) Your Squeezecenter is running on a server that is sitting in your Hobby Room/Garage/Office and you yust want to listen to musik there again without a Monitor. What i just want to know is if anybody else woulf be interested in something like this or not? I myself could live with switching my TV on when listening to Sofsqueeze if that dammn thing wouldn't use so much energy.
The unit could have the size of a optical drive bay to make it easier to mount it in a standard computer case. It still would be possible to take it out of that housing and mount it directly in a custom or aftermarket HTPC/Server Case. As a IR starting Point this 'IrTrans IR Unit from OrigenAE' (http://www.origenae.com/en/accessory_ir210.htm) would Do the Trick. The unit comes with a very flexible driver architecture for Windows and Linux. The Unit handles the MCE stuff pretty well. The Sqzeezeplayer stuff might work with girder. I am Curious if the new Sqeezeboxes still have Character VFDs or if they have graphic VFDs and which size they are?
