My server generates bitmaps (quite small ones for a Classic) and sends them down as grfe commands. That gets used in all sorts of ways, everything from date/time/weather to, of course, navigating the song catalog. It's not my preferred way to pick songs - I have a separate GUI that runs on my laptop for that - but it's how my wife picks songs, adjusts volume, etc. So I will need to implement that. Since it doesn't look like squeezelite implements the grfe command, I'll just write something to run on the pi, send it those messages, and handle the display separately. Since any display I plug into the pi will have more available pixels than the classic did, it;'s a chance to display extra information anyway. I assume squeezelite can read signals from an attached IR device and ship them to the server in the same way the Classic did, in which case my server will see them and do what's needed. Yeah. This will become my next project. Kudos to whoever came up with squeezelite, as if this works it's going to save me hundreds of dollars and hours. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ScottAM's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=69412 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110960 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
