I should update the description of the project on my web site as I had to put a fair amount of further work into the project to get it reliable. Namely, I had to create a second program that I run as a Windows Service that constantly monitors connectivity to the frame. It turns out the Pandigital frame is a little flaky over a wireless connection. My service reboots it when it looses connectivity. I also took the frame apart and embedded an IR emitter in it so IR Blaster can send it commands to get through all the menu clicks that are required to navigate to the cover images. To answer your other questions, I ended up spending 30 bucks for Twonky Media Server. I think I tried every UPnP server for Windows that's out there. Twonky worked the best in my opinion. I'm still on version 6.3.1 of Slimserver and have no plans to upgrade. So I'm not sure what the impact would be using a more recent version. I tried no other frames other than the Pandigital, but I suppose any that can access UPnP servers are candidates. You need to find one though that is constantly monitoring the shared folder for changed files. Some don't. I will update the source files and project description on my web site over the next few days. I would be very surprised if anyone else could get them working out of the box. Like I said at the outset, this project was a kluge, and highly tailored to my specific setup. But the source files might give you some ideas anyway. :-) -- jonheal Jon Heal says: Have a nice day! http://www.theheals.org/ ~~~ SB3 (wired - 6.3.1) | DELL OptiPlex PC running XP Pro | DENON DRA-395 | PSB Stratus Bronze (2) | Outlaw Audio LFM-2 (1) | DIY Speaker Cables | Dayton Audio Interconnects ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jonheal's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2133 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69888 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
