Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Squeezebox and Musepack
The short answer is that we currently support SV7 (and I think earlier) versions. The long answer is that for whatever reason the MPC team wanted to make their format even harder to adopt by completely changing everything for SV8. In doing so they also rewrote the decoder (now mpcdec instead of mppdec) and the new decoder does not have the right command-line options for us to use it as a drop-in upgrade. I have talked to them about this but they weren't really interested in adding the missing features. I think there are probably literally only a handful of people who care about MPC so it's not really worth our time to try to patch their decoder. So if you have new material you want to encode in a lossy format and are considering SV8 I would request that you think again and use another format.

You could certainly do it yourself, but it's not officially supported, for 2 main reasons: 1. We don't want to build a UI for browsing/selecting a network share. 3.

You think we have the time or the expertise to develop *filesystem drivers*?? Besides, if HFS+ were that well documented there would already be a very good driver.

Separation of skills and assignments, use big > iron to do big iron stuff, use little iron to make it personal. I have to say this is completely the wrong way to go. Nobody, especially the target user for TinySC, wants to care about scanning, a database, or anything! The use case I want to get to is this: Plug in USB drive. Popup on screen "initializing..." or something for a few seconds at most. My Music -> USB Drive Name 2 menu items: "Scan Progress: 1%, 1 hour remaining" "Music Folder" Music Folder -> can browse/play from the music folder structure until the scanner has finished scanning in the background. After scanning is finished, the usual Artist, Album, etc menu items are present in the menu. Maybe the menu populates as things as scanned like in the regular server. Bottom line is, you need to be able to play music off the drive within a very short amount of time. The tricky part is the scanner is going to have to run in the main server process for this to work, due to the limited memory available. So we need to get that right, and as fast as possible. I think we can get there... ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
