Short term the idea with squeezelite is that you use the LMS web interface or iPeng/SqueezePad/some other controller app. Longer term its possible/likely that something using the hdmi display of small linux devices will be possible. I've got many ideas in this respect but not code yet... Want to get squeezelite to release status first. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Triode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97046 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
