True - but I run Linux!
What would be *really* cool would be if you could use the existing
slimserver DB through the CLI.
Yeah, for re-building moose's database remotely, I was wondering
whether the CLI would be fast enough, or whether I should parse the
db file itself via SQLite.
You could take one of two approaches:
1. Replicating the slimserver db locally, either by copying the SQLite
file or through (a lot of) CLI commands
2. Write a search interface that uses CLI to perform searches against
the slimserver DB.
I suppose it would depend on your reasons for writing the app. i.e. what
are your design goals? I suspect there a few people who would appreciate
a snappy, windows-based client with which to control their squeezeboxes.
Option 1 would give probably give better performance, but Option 2 would
offer greater consistency.
I presume if you shared the db file in linux,
you'd be able to access it remotely via windows ?
Probably not; you'd most likely run into locking issues.
