Re: [slim] Best Portable Device for SlimFX
A hacker has developed a shell script which installs flash 9 on the pepper pad 3 for you. (pepper wiki) slim fx runs flawlessly now on the pepper. fantastic! touch nokia 770 skins don't fit perfectly but work well as well. The new pepper keeper 3.2 beta has remote desktop, so from my peppe, in the house, I remoted into my musicserver (which is in my office off the garage, installed slimfx, stopped then started slimserver, did the flash 9 install, restarted the pepper keeper, went to the web, opened slimfx voila! Instant perfect slimserver access! -dale -- shadowboxer shadowboxer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8302 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34482 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Best Portable Device for SlimFX
had a look at the pepperpad...looks pricey (and the battery life is only 2-4 hours??) basically i just want a sonos style remote... and slimfx on a portable device seems the best option.. any other good combos ro achieve this? -- gb115b gb115b's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1781 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34482 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I have had the Pepper Pad 3 for two weeks now. Just installed the Keeper 3.2 beta update day bofore yesterday which enhanced it still further, unfortunately, still no FLASH 9, but this is upgradeable by a maunuel method, which I plan to do later this week. Anyway, I love this device! The new keeper update ( keeper is the name pepper uses for the gui) included remote desktop built in so I can remote into my musicserver to check things which is pretty cool. The touch and noika 770 skins run great on it and it makes a fantastic remote for slimserver. It also has a built in universal remote program which the keeper update just enhanced with macro capability. It has a built in ir blaster, took me 30 secs (no joke) to get it set up to run my jvc reciever, tivo, samsung dvd player, and samsung vcr, and sony tv. The macros are really cool, now just pick watch vcr and the macros do the rest. It has a video player built in. I convert dvd's to avi files, put on the pepper, and have a mini stereo theater. The music player built in tunes in any interet radio stations. Also, it works as a remote stream from the slimserver!! There is a picture viewer which will see, import from, and over wifi show slideshows of any pics on a pc running wm 11. When it is charging, I use it as a digital picture frame running a slideshow of pics from one of my pcs. The email program kinda sucks. But after learning a little linux and learning from the forum and wiki, I installed thunderbird and have full imap email on my pepper. And of course that leaves internet browsing which is what it is made for. Tabbed browsers, very fast, nearly instant on from standby, connects to my wifi in about 10 sec from standby. Anyway, guess you can see that I kind like my pepperpad. For the price, it is expensive for a remote, but to me it replaces a computer with a device that is far more handy and efficient than a laptop. I have a tablet pc and it is bulky, runs hot, has limited battery life, is slow slow slow slow to boot and slow to come back from standby and I have quit using it! As to battery life on the pp3, I can do hours of heavy surfing and it is still as 30-40% battery life. Also, the battery gauge gives battery life in time remaining and % which I really like. It goes into a standby mode within a few minutes which it can stay in for days without charging from which it wakes in about 10 seconds so battery life has thus far not been a problem for me. -dale -- shadowboxer shadowboxer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8302 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34482 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

G No cradle. Have to just hook it to ac adaptor, but there is a little metal stand on the back that pops up and stands it up like a picture frame.

Re: [slim] Best Portable Device for SlimFX
cheers...i was browsing their site...seems like a good (but a little pricey) alternative... let us know how you get on with SlimFX how good is the remote application? it it very configurable...i have some weird media streamer about with odd functions...so need a bit of freedom... i guess if its just a box running linux i can code whatever i want for it...i imagine there's an SDK or something ? this is what slim need to make! an open-source touchscreen remote... i really like the look of the phillips rc9800i as a remote, but even though it has wifi, there's no internet browser... you can just browse upnp shares and the like.. -- gb115b gb115b's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1781 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34482 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

gb115b;195159 Wrote: anyone had any experience with chumbys yet? That won't work either, unfortunately, as it also uses an earlier version of the Flash player. slimfx is written in Flex, which relies on ActionScript 3, which is only supported by player version 9 and above. AFAIK, player 9 is also the first version of Flash which included the socket capabilities slimfx is using for communicating with the CLI. I'm sure that there will eventually be versions of the Flash player that support AS3 on mobile devices, but they're not here yet. Someone in another thread mentioned using slimfx with a Pepperpad, though, which is an alternative to a full PC. -- gsamsa gsamsa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=194 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34482 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
