Hi. My thoughts (for what they're worth) :) kai;384013 Wrote: > Rockfather's development just made me buy a DS and another Squeezebox > (as display). Thus both, Linn and Logitech, do profit from his > development. >
I used to use Sonos and Linn systems in my house, but have now changed to Logitech Duets and Linn due to this development (and the fact that SC7/Jive is wonderful whereas Sonos is totally unconfigurable). I thus agree with the above post in that it benefits both stakeholders: many Linn users will now be tempted to buy Duets and then once they have, they'll be tempted to 'pepper' their houses with Duet receivers! Many of my friends now intend going down this very route; they really like the idea of a Linn system in the lounge and a mix of Duets/Booms in bedrooms, kitchens, workshops etc. Three have actually bought Duets with the intension to add Linn stuff later, so that's three sales to Logitech and nill to Sonos! andyg;381108 Wrote: > I'm thinking about writing a plugin that will add UPnP MediaRenderer and > MediaServer support. When I get some free time, we'll see. :) At the minute, I'm using the controller as a 'sacrificial' receiver (to save tying up one of the Duet receivers) but it would be fantastic not to have to do this. It would also save having to stream an unnecessary feed to the Jive and thus cut down on network traffic / NAS workload etc. It would thus be fantastic to have a SC7 UPnP plugin but I can see one area that might consideration: unless it performed the same trick that Linn have used (to upload the selected tracks as a playlist to the UPnP renderer) it might suffer from the standard UPnP shortfall which is that gaps are heard between tracks. This wouldnt be noticeable on many albums, but on albums where tracks flow seamlessly into each other, its a disaster (this can be heard if you try using Cidero to control a Linn DS).
