Just some initial comments. 1. I didn't say only one hardware server. I can't see any reason why you can't have multiple servers - you just need some load sharing to manage the incoming conections. AFAICT this is the basis for Squeezenetwork which handles 100's of concurrent users in more than one datacentre.
2. If you are using native formats - then load on slimserver is low as all it has to do is update screen displays and handle remote keypresses - it does not stream the audio data if you have server broadcasting. With respect to a broadcast server - that needs research but as Slimserver works with many internet sites delivering streamed, on demand and podcast audio - I think there are many working solutions - it's a case of identifying the underlying s/w. For a sale of 500 SBs - I think you should talk to Logitech direct ( JimC possibly) and see if they can offer advice - perhaps even a hookup with MP3Tunes. -- bpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41937 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
