I think the thing to do here is to make SlimServer more modularized. This will give several advantages like: - It makes easier to replace one specific module with your own customized version - It makes it easier to remove a specific module if you don't need it - It makes it easier to run different modules on different machines.
A more modularized version of SlimServer would make it easier to make a customized lite version. But I agree with MelonMonkey, at the moment I think it is a more urgent matter to get something that is easy to use. Currently I think the MySQL database is one of the problems for NAS boxes since it uses a lot of memory. So making it work with SQLite or something similar that uses less resources is probably a good start. However, you can always use an earlier version of SlimServer, for example 6.3 that used SQLite. If you always want the latest features I think a NAS might not be the best solution. Another issue is that NAS boxes will get more powerful in the future, so when the development of a SS Lite is finished there is probably more powerful NAS devices available that makes SS Lite unnecessary. Due to this I have a feeling that you won't see any big community or Logitech effort regarding a SS Lite. The only interest for Logitech regarding a SS Lite that I can see is if they also would offer a NAS solution bundled with the SB/Transporter. Modularization is interesting also for the normal SlimServer, so this is probably something that will be improved in future releases. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.homeip.net) 'My download page' (http://erland.homeip.net/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library and RandomPlayList plugins' (http://wiki.erland.homeip.net/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37279 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
