Ok, that will be fairly straight forward in xplmedianet

I just need to create a new source that presents slimserver as an
xplmedianet source (for completion I'll also look at adding an
auto-selection on boot function to the device modules, that way you'll be
able to specify that on boot a particular device should auto start a given
source if required)

Unfortunately I'm really busy over the next month so xplmedianet won't see
a
release before that...

Have decided to drop the MVP temporarily so I can speed up the initial
release of xplmedianet (if I hadn't taken on the MVP it would have been
released ages ago!), though MVP users should be able to still use xplrionet
for MVP in conjunction with xplmedianet. I suspect once I get back into the
swing of things MVP won't be far behind though.

In theory this makes xplmedianet almost ready for a release, just have a
few
small changes to make and 1 major change in that instead of having special
code to provide jukebox (album cover) functionality I'm going to have each
source specify if it can provide images (the sources will also provide
text,
so a device or interface that cannot display images can still display the
source). This makes the whole source/device/interface module scenario much
slicker and simpler.

Tony
