OK, so there is no legal block to prevent a community forking SBS/LMS and growing from there - the basic issue is simply the scale of the effort involved. There are examples of community efforts delivering complex systems successfully - MythTV being an obvious example that springs to mind.
Regarding player hardware, I see someone has already got Squeezeplay running on Raspberry Pi. Partner that with a suitable USB DAC for a high quality playback device. Some enterprising outfit could package it up in an attractive enclosure to satisfy those who don't want to build their own. Seems to me that a combination of Vortexbox applicance, Pi-based players and iOS/Android controllers is all we need. (But I speak as a non-user of mysb.com - I do appreciate that some SB users depend on that service). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96213 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
