I don't think I have successfully parsed your question. "Player daemon"? But I'll mention a little I know about Flash.
Without special server software (Adobe sells it, but there are open source projects as well), Flash doesn't really stream music. It does progressive download. It can do a great job at playing a single mp3 file (or a sequence of them, for that matter), but without server support or some tricky Flash programming (quite tricky, I believe) it probably wouldn't work on SlimServer's stream.mp3 (part of the problem being that stream.mp3 isn't really rate-limited...not sure how well it would work if it were). It's fairly easy to communicate with a Flash app via javascript, so all sorts of control scenarios are possible. If I ever manage to update slimfx, I would like to include functionality to play music in the browser, making use of the download link per track and managing the playlists in the client code. (I got started on some of this, but put it aside a while ago and haven't managed to pick it up again). -- gsamsa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gsamsa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=194 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37535 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
