Yes, that's exactly what I wanted to say with the above paragraph :-).

Re: [slim] Dropping support for previous hardware ?
Just to be really, really clear :-) I think I understand the position now - is this right: 1) There is a rearchitecture of the server to allow a smaller footprint, that supports SB1 and slimp3. 2) This allows an install on the touch, that disables support for SB1 and slimp3 due to memory limitations on the touch. 3) This branch will be merged back to the main stream soon and then the server install (not on the touch) will allow a configurable smaller footprint that still supports SB1 and slimp3 on, for example, NAS boxes. Sorry to labour the point, I am just trying to make sure I understand. Thanks for all the replies so far...

[slim] Dropping support for previous hardware ?
I notice that the server software for the touch is not going to support either the slimp3 or the squeezebox1 - are logitech phasing out support for older hardware versions ? If so, this will clearly influence my buying decision - I was planning on buying new hardware (probably a touch, as and when it is available), but would be inclined to not bother if logitech are dropping their support (I searched on the site but could find no information - does anyone know ?)

Re: [slim] Dropping support for previous hardware ?
Thanks Chris - that's reassuring. Does that apply to the server software that will run *on* the touch, tinySC ? Also, are you planning on releasing the stripped down server software to the community to allow installs on, for example, NAS devices or other small devices ?

TinySBS can't support SB1 or Slimp3.

Re: [slim] Dropping support for previous hardware ?
both devices are supported if run as a server on a PC. They are not supported when run as tinySBS on the touch device. This is due to additional overhead in the protocol for these devices. The embedded branch can be run in a mode for a full server or for use on the Touch. The term embedded is used to reflect the focus but not the limitation.

Re: [slim] Dropping support for previous hardware ?
So 7.5 embedded aka. TinySC will not support SLIMp3 nor SB1. The wiki-page says that 7.5 embedded will eventually be merged with the mainline code.

No. As kdf said in his post, 7.5-embedded is _not_ the same thing as TinySC. 7.5-embedded supports SliMP3/SB1 if it is run on a regular server (pc or NAS).

Re: [slim] Dropping support for previous hardware ?
Wouldn't labeling the embedded branch 7.6 end some of the confusion over the terms 'embedded' and 'TinySC'? I don't know if the branching model supports this, before 7.5 is officially released, but I think it would make things simpler for everyone involved. -- JJZolx Jim JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74847 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
