Just about anything that isn't music decoding is done on the server. The Squeezebox is dumb... or to be more polite, "slim". (This does lead to neat tricks like the 'lazy search' plugin... it's a feature that the client is slim since the server code is opensource and had lots of plugins.) -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20094 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
