A confusing issue is to make transcoding work roku "emulated" an SB1 then the server knew which kind of files and streams it could use and trans-coded accordingly . So anyone doing this have to do something similar, then it is the UI interface stuff... If the players abilities does not really match any squeezebox then such a vendor has to provide a server patch or similar . This is why there is standard interfaces such as DNLA but apearently it has limits ? We can always hope for a more advanced media player/server standard interface in the future ? -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
