Ok, the next product I want from Logitech streaming media division formerly known as SlimDevices is...
SqueezeVideo. Ethernet/Wireless in. HDMI 1.3 video out. - component/svideo analog video out? SPDIF/2ch analog audio out - maybe 5.1 analog out? High Bit Rate codec passthrough Good DAC if analog audio outs. Use the latest Sigma Designs SoC that does all latest formats including H.264 Tight integration with SqueezeCenter. NO BUILT-IN GUI on the box!!! Let the Squeeze remote do the job of running the GUI and SqueezeCenter generate it. Its sole function is to select files and play them. Let someone else do the recording just like Squeezeboxen let other systems ready the content. And, MOST IMPORTANTLY, API to allow PVRs or any other software to integrate to it for driving playback via IP interface just like on Squeezebox. For reasons I can't fathom all the current video players coming out are all monolithic GUI/Players with no API for integration. I appreciate that Sigma wants its driver code help proprietary, but there is no reason not to build an IP interface to permit commands to be given to the block of code doing the playback. -- Eric Carroll Transporter-Pass Labs X2.5-Bel Canto Evo6 Gen II-Paradigm Signature S8 SB3-Bryston 3B SST-Paradigm Reference Studio 60 v.4 SB3-Kingrex T20-Paradigm Reference Studio 20 v.4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Carroll's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9293 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62047 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
