i'd definitely spunk out cash to buy a touch with a full wui and i am
already happy customer who doesn't need to buy another product.

Thanks for sharing.

[slim] squeezebox web server on squeeze device

2011-10-08 Thread rensato

i was just thinking why not have web server on actual device.

advantages/usage:
choose smb/sftp shares for media content from device
if more than 1 squeeze device, choose master server instead of running
2nd server.
only 1 platform build for server/no building for end users
minimal set up on client pc's / no added security maintenance on
personal pc

it's written down roughly however just an idea, does that sound like a
better model

You are describing the Touch model.

cool, so it was not a dumb idea then...

so you tell the touch to connect to samba shares then?
can you go to touchdevice:9000 and get the same web interface up as on
the duo?

Re: [slim] squeezebox web server on squeeze device

2011-10-08 Thread rensato

oh ... just reading a review on the touch...

serving music to a Squeezebox Touch is through the Windows, Mac, or
Linux version of Squeezebox Server currently at version 7.5.0. Using
this method requires the server software to be installed on a computer.
The software must run at all times for the Squeezebox Touch to access
locally stored music. This configuration works best for users with a
computer that contains all music on the local hard drive and can remain
on 24/7

so you still need squeezebox server running on a computer...

i was talking about having the server running on the actual device.

the server does runs on the Touch, but it has no web interface ( due to
limited cpu and ram ).

touch can act as server for other squeezeboxes and it does run samba.

but no web-UI and a bunch of other limitations, have a look in the
wiki.

Re: [slim] squeezebox web server on squeeze device

2011-10-08 Thread rensato

thanks for links... i dont keep up much on the hw products as my
squeezereciever works  flawlessley.

however, now i see, where in lies the rub... the web ui is what makes
the squeeze the best thing for me.

i thought with having web server on device it would save the logitech
fellahs a hell of a lot of time ( read money ) developing for the
single platform whilst also making the whole thing much much more user
friendly for the luddite nation.

still would welcome comments if that would tickle any ones fancy.

it does exist, it's called vortexbox it is not provided by logitech :)
that may intimidate a lot of potential custommers but it is probably
actually much better than if logitech had designed it.

ha ha, vortex , the most common phrase I know of with that word is
sucked into a vortex... please don't tell me that is their soundbite
;-). ha ha what were the marketing guys thinkingg. hm, what do
those marketing guys ever think about.

but seriously, if you are sort of person who would visit and purchase
from that site you would probably be comfortable hacking up your own
box anyways.

i'd but a touch with a full web ui and i am already happy customer who
doesn't need to buy another product.
