That's all I seem to have been doing, talking..... After I spoke to you I did some brain scratching. I think I'm very close to getting a known name in Linux kernel circles (who happens to be a friend) on-board specifically for the kernel parts that John needs. Hopefully I should have a definite one way or the other very shortly. I've seen mention of XBMC in this thread (and another). Please, no........ We need to deliver something, preferably before April 2016, not go off at a tangent. ;) With regard to software, LMS is the server backend. (Like it or loathe it. Until someone has a replacement up and running it's no use doing anything other than using what we have today.) Squeezelite is the client player. That, along with John's DAC design and the Wandboard will deliver a high quality standalone headless player. It should have a web interface to be able to configure the network interfaces (eth & wlan) and allow the configuration of squeezelite without having to directly edit a text file. If there is some sort of GUI (music player controller) actually on the device, available via a HDMI port, (Jivelite), that's a bonus, rather than a necessity. I mean there are already enough ways of being able to control it, from a phone, from a pad, from a computer, that a built-in GUI controller is a luxury rather than a necessity. Well, that's how I see it anyway...... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JackOfAll's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3069 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98179 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
