Sure it could and it's afalacy to think otherwise. IR is very low budget on resources. You can do pretty much anything you want with only a tiny amount of memory in fact and very little processing power. Anything that is decided not to be handled by the client itsle could then be passed on to the server. Having volume NOT supported at all directly by the player is a valid design decision, but not a very good one. It is in fact the easy way out. As it stands, aside from net latency, volume performance is abysmal, but that has more to do with the assigned curve than the fact it's controlled by the server. Not to mention going down from volume level 2 immediately goes to 0 instead of 1. Need to file that one as a bug if it's not already there. -- MelonMonkey Bruno *'Twisted Melon - Fine Mac OS Software' (http://twistedmelon.com) | 'mira - Personal Control for your Apple Remote' (http://twistedmelon.com)* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MelonMonkey's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8466 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36143 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
