Is there a concept of remote stream > players being connected to SN? Well, this is what I'm thinking: my assumption has been that the SrvrPowerCtrl web UI will *mostly* be used by remote web browsers against headless servers. The user is using the web UI to suspend the server and switch the player to SN. If the plugin pushes the web browser onto www.squeezenetwork.com, then the user can use the SN web UI to initiate playback on the player. Also, in the fullness of time, the user can use the SN web UI to switch the player back to the now suspended server. When that happens, *I think* the player will automatically WOL the sleeping server. So, what you get here is seamless control of player and playback from local server to server sleep to sn and back to server...all through the web UI and not requiring a remote, or controller or iPeng (sorry Pippin)...just your laptop (or whatever) and your web browser.
Does that sound like a legitimate rationale? Or am I thinking up a superfluous festoon of a feature simply because I imagine that I can program it? -- gharris999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gharris999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=115 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48521 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
