Hi Waldo,
The Material skin is advancing rapidly with the version in development - v1.4, will contain a black theme, and a color selection tool for widgets. The new black theme with the new screensaver feature looks great on a display that is to be left on permanently. I am looking around for a tablet with two USB ports, so I can charge on one, and stream audio out on the other. I picked up an Emotiva Ego USB DAC that works well with an OTG cable, so I was thinking I could use a tablet for streaming to this USB DAC as well as control, but from what I can tell it is difficult/impossible to stream data and charge off the same USB port using Android, so I would need a tablet with two ports. Additionally, I have been testing using a VPN service, so I then could run the Material Skin in Fully Kiosk remotely. I am running the Android app SB Player, and this also works via the VPN IP addr. I am using the free NeoRouter VPN service to connect to my server at home running LMS. Assuming a good connection using WiFi somewhere, it all works. I live in Silicon Valley and recently I did a trip to Austria, and it all worked. *Living Room:* SB Touch + DIY PSU > CI Audio VDA.2 DAC + VAC.1 PSU > VRX.1 cables > Emotiva XSP-1 Gen 2 preamp + XPA-DR2 amp > Blue Jeans cables > B&W 804 speakers *Laptop:* System76 Galago + Ubuntu 16.04 + Squeezelite/gmrender + Material Skin > Emotiva Little Ego DAC > Senn HD 650 headphones *Phone:* Pixel 3a Phone + BubbleUPnP + Kiwi/Material > Bluetooth > Bose SoundLink Revolve *Server:* Puget Systems Serenity + Ubuntu 18.04 + LMS 8.0 *Music:* Personal FLAC, Radio Paradise FLAC, Qobuz, Spotify ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ron F.'s Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5616 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111518 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
