It's called the cmd line.
I have several desired configurations (some now, some future): 1) One Wandboard with single share network mounted from NAS (Level two), running LMS to many Squeezeboxes (Ethernet). LMS browser via Ethernet. 2) One Wandboard with single share mounted from local FAT32 USB stick, running LMS to internal player with either S/PDIF or audio output. This self contained configuration sits on a office desk with self powered mini-speakers. It is desirable to have something with more capacity than FAT32 USB stick (USB HD formatted FAT32). Perhaps access to Wandboard WiFi direct from smartphone WiFi. 3) One Wandboard with single share network mounted from Windows, running LMS to many Squeezeboxes (Ethernet). What is the future to replace a dozen Squeezeboxes? Thank you for your great effort. gregb ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gregb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=47178 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99395 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
