Yes forgot about the obvious the dependencies ,this is why we package and have package management systems. But only Triode knows how ready it is for general consumption . But it is really good, in some aspects all softplayers for the squeezebox system has a set of issues . This effort is a huge step in the right direction now we have a headless player that is not locked to one sample rate and can be used with spotify . Add some more native codecs perhaps ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97046 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
