You can make any embedded installation a TinySBS by adding those parameters. The code of the two is the same. Is it possible to turn off those memory intensive features on the regular SBS to save resources if I don't have anything older than an SB3? Yes, that's exactly what I wanted to say

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

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

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 ? Cheers, Andy --

TinySBS can't support SB1 or Slimp3. If you have those devices, run the normal server as you have already been doing for years. :) You can download the embedded version here: http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/?ver=7.5-embedded -- andyg

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

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. Does that imply that SLIMp3/SB1 support will be dropped as of that version? -- bhaagensen

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
