Well going down the video route while it seems like a great natural progression, in practice it seems to water down and degrade the product. Too many apps try to be the end all be all and end up doing nothing well. You say SqueezeCenter is too complex now, add video to that mix and you make it 10x worse.
I agree with you that SC is too much for a non-techie, I do NOT agree with your resource hog statements. The only resource intense part of SC is when it does a media scan and you really can not make that much nicer, any media app that actually scans and updates will have this (iTunes does not and is one of my many complaints with it). Squeezebox can not act as an Airport Express for iTunes because APPLE will not allow it. Winamp plugin while I personally would not want to use it could be decent idea. Nothing stopping you from making one :). The heart of SC is that it is open source, and the players API is well documented so anyone could make a plugin for Winamp. Not really sure what your question "how about OS drivers that can handle the TCP/IP bit?" means? TCP/IP is already handled by every modern OS. -- m1abrams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ m1abrams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=850 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=63775 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
