Sounds good - like the idea of not needing an external hub. > > The other big thing we need to decide is what we are going to do about > WiFi.

If we stick to the wifi on the card then we can integrate it with the web and jivelite UIs to control it rather than needing another web interface. Perhaps have the option to add it, but allow most people to use the dual lite board with the built in one? (definately worth it for the extra cpu power) BTW - also making good progress with the jivelite UI - now have something I running reasonably well for browsing/now playing and early selection of output device via a HMDI screen/IR remote. Working well with usb dacs on a straight wandboard. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Triode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97881 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
