1st of all I will say I am happy w/ SBS 7.6 and I think Erland's dedication to enhancing our musical experience should be praised.
For me: #1: System actions in the playlist. Like setting volume up/down before/after a song; playing a radio stream for X minutes then switch to another source; etc. #2: Proxying the local library via mySB.com. On the move, the only protocol I am sure to have access to is HTTP on port 80. All the rest is likely to be filtered. I don't want to open this kind of gate on my LAN. But SBS could connect to something like mysb.com and allow access to local files #3: Power management integration at OS level. Make PM-aware the native win/mac os SBS dashboards so that the software can fight against a sleep request when playing, and disconnect/reconnect players at shutdown-sleep/boot-wake time. Try to cook something on linux, too. I believe a dummy usb driver would receive/handle the PM events on any reasonable platform. (I know srvPowerControl exists; it does more than fitting the bill a dedicated server. But it doesn't have OS-level integration so it does not work perfect on multi-purpose machines like a desktop.) #4: An undead MIP-like system. I use MIP and it kind of works. But it has its quirks and won't run on anything other than i386 (AFAIK) #5: Quality (which means authorized I suppose) art and metadata. I like discogs a lot, but really I am spending too much time on that site. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94987 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
