I'm an old user, bought my first SD when the non-G SB1 was new. I've been in a good mood over the products ever since, and I've bought a bunch of them. I don't grok the bad karma in this thread and others. The server software is open source. That is great. One of the strongest drivers in my choice of SlimDevices way back when. Sure, Logitech pays a number of engineers to develope the SqueezeCenter the way they want, but there is nothing to prevent others from joining and making it work their own way as well. I'm on the developers' mailing list, altho I haven't turned a hand in any real code in years, but its clear that the move to SQlite from MySql is not canceled, just pushed back to get more work to make it a better transition that is ready for the mass market users. The use of a database package allows a lot of nice things that you can't do with raw tags. But the resource requirements of a complete MySql install exceed a lot of the low end machines that users want to use. SQlite will be a better fit. It would be silly to make the change from MySql to SQlite one way, I can't imagine anyone doing that. Rather I expect that the official supported version will use SQlite, and for folks who are running MySql anyway, there will be some configuration parameter to point to the database. The reality is that SqueezeCenter is a complex server application. They all take some care in setup. For most folks, the SC install scripts work out of the box. Its never going to be a toaster. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
