Re: Rio receiver control

Nick,


Stuart's already mentioned Kieran's excellent "turn your Rio
musicbase into a Pronto configuration" tool. This can be found at
http://www.l1fe.co.uk/pronto/

Alternatively, one of the nice things about the Rio is that it boots
a kernel from the music server, hence the display-hack kernel patch.

There are some alternative kernels that allow web-control. For a list
of the kernels, and the various features, look at Reed Esau's page at
http://jreceiver.sourceforge.net/rio/jrec-faq-rio.html

Regards,

Mark
