Some feedback on the CSOS-Wandboard-Dual-R4-20130510-2.img.7z build follows below.
I realize some of this isn't implemented yet, I'm just posting it to give you the ideas in case you haven't already thought about it. 1. First of all, really great work, for someone who knows what they are doing it worked perfectly. 2. The quickstart guide didn't contain any information about the timezone configuration, it's probably a good idea to recommend users to set the timezone through the CSOS web interface. 3. In the LMS (Squeeze Server) configuration page, or even better on the Home page, of the CSOS web interface it would good to have a link to LMS web interface in case it has been started. 4. The USB keyboard I had connected didn't work in JiveLite at the initial boot, I'm not sure if it was a one time thing but after rebooting CSOS it started to work. 5. At first when I started to browse music through JiveLite it was connected to my SheevaPlug instead of to the Wandboard. I'll experiement a bit more but my expectations if I've configured CSOS to run LMS and Squeezelite would be that SqueezeLite is connected to LMS running on the Wandboard. Of course, a normal user would probably not have 3-4 LMS instances on the network, so this is probably not a major problem. Rebooting the wandboard made it switch to the SheevaPlug again so I have to reset it currently after each reboot. 6. If possible, I think it would be great to have a wizard configuration instead of the current menu based. The menu based approach have advantages for users who know what they are doing, but if you want to make it attractive to non technical users not familiar with Linux I think a wizard based setup would be preferred. Maybe it would be possible to offer both, so advanced users can use the menus but normal users can get a simplified wizard based setup ? 7. The disk mounting configuration needs more work, but I suspect this is still work in progress. There are samples in the /etc/fstab file but through the web interface you need to know a lot of Linux stuff to be able to configure it currently. As a minimum it would be good to at least describe the /storage file structure where it seems like CSOS has been designed to mount things based on the samples in the /etc/fstab file. It would also be good if LMS could be preconfigured with defaults pointing in /storage/music/flac and /storage/music/playlist to make it easy for a new users to select the correct directories when configuring LMS. My dream would be a network browser who showed available shares on my network and just allowed me to select which one to mount and by default automatically mounted it in the correct place in the file system. 8. This is probably something that's already in the plan, but it would be great to have a software update option through the CSOS web interface, something similar to how update works in VortexBox. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98544 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
