The main advantage of a Slimserver / Squeezecentre WHS add-in would be for marketing purposes. The whole WHS is geared towards ease of use for the non-technical user - and jumping on MS's marketing train would probably not hurt.
Slimserver runs without problems on WHS (have been using this for a few weeks now) - so the main thing that's needed is an msi wrapper for the installation. Plus the control-tab in the WHS console. This should at least give some control over the Slimserver Service (something like SageTV: http://www.wegotserved.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/sagetv.jpg). To make things even nicer (and keep to the ease of use philosophy) the control tab could also allow access to the basic server settings: - Music Folder - Playlist Folder - Manual rescan of library - Automated rescan of Library (WHS users are used to things happening automatically over night) And for extra bonus: - bundle in some of the more common plugins (do not even try to include AlienBBC - will never be easy :-) - bundle in MusicIP if possible (v1.8 has the necessary API in the free version) - provide a function to add plugins without having direct access to the slimserver folder on the server -- lade ------------------------------------------------------------------------ lade's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3180 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36255 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
