Hi... I've been exchanging ideas w/the author of mythsqueezebox (http://sourceforge.net/projects/mythsqueezebox/) (a SqueezeCenter client pluging for MythTV (mythtv.org)).
I was wondering if mvpmc people were still interested in incorporating the user/passwd credential feature found in SqueezeCenter into mclient? I never did this as (I think) we don't have a clean way of storing non-volatile credential on all the different types of mediamvp boxes. As I see it, the credentials will be stored in the start up script on the server in clear text. Then the clients will tftp over the script and execute it. So if someone can access the tftp files or sniffs the network they can capture the credentials. My point (I know this sounds odd) don't use one of your important/good user/passwd credential combinations. Any interest? Audience: I think this is more for people who share their networks with others. Like in a dorm room, apartment building or multiple small business setting. If SqueezeCenter did it right, requiring credentials should prevent a casual user from, among other things, deleting your music. Now, if you have kids and can't trust them... that's another matter... ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Mvpmc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mvpmc-users mvpmc wiki: http://mvpmc.wikispaces.com/
