Ok. Yeah, there are some obstacles there. - Player firmware. As stated previously, not really a concern. - Artwork. If SqueezePlay isn't used, then this would only be in the web UI. Drop in replacements wouldn't be hard to create for a decent graphic artist. - Windows Installer. Another could be created. Probably one that is much faster. - EXE for Windows. Yes, if we wanted to recreate this, the ActiveState SDK would need to be purchased and licensing (if needed) would have to be explored. Or, require users to install the free ActiveState Perl interpreter and run the Perl code. For a project like this, that's not unreasonable. - Windows Control Panel. Not necessary. IIRC, the only thing it does that can't easily be done otherwise, is install/uninstall SBS as a Windows service. That functionality could be incorporated into the Windows installer, and you could just have users re-run the installer. If there are codecs that require licensing, whether or not a player is based on SBS will make no difference. How does a player like Squeezelite deal with this? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97881 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
