This is quite a common request and the short answer is that it appears not to be possible with the existing architecture. I, for one, don't find such functionality at all interesting (and it's really quite a deviation from the core functionality the SB is designed for) but I can understand why others might find it interesting. see this recent thread that seems to hit on most of the major points: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31879 -- azinck3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ azinck3's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3967 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34785 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
