Hi there - I wondered when this would be picked up here. I am working on the above plugin, to enable SC controllers to be used to control Linn DS products. Whilst I am currently a Linn employee, can I emphasize that I am doing this in my own time using my own equipment. The only assistance from Linn is access to some of their hardware, and the use of their OSS site for hosting.
The design involves making a Linn DS mimic what a Squeezebox is doing. Hence SC is the controlling interface at all times (except for timing resynch at track changeover). This means that an SB or Duet controller IS required for this plugin to work. Whilst theoretically Softsqueeze or similar could be used, I have never had the required stability from this to be useful. I started developing this because I use both SBs and Linn DS at home, and wanted to converge on one simple solution that everyone in the family could use. The original SB interface (large display and IR handset) is one of the simplest to use (if not the most sexy), and it was on that basis that development started. When the Duet controller came along, it offered another nice handheld alternative for operating the players. As a side-affect, this enabled the use of SC as the media server, rather than a UPnP offering, all of which still appear to be somewhat problematic. -- rockfather ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rockfather's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22959 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57813 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
