#301229 - 03/08/2007 14:34 Moddint tRio slim web interface?
plympton new poster Registered: 27/12/2003 Posts: 26	Hey all, I know JRec/tRio is pretty much dead as a do-do, but I was wondering if anyone knows where to start hacking on the HTML for the slim front-end? I'm picking up a Tungsten C tomorrow (another grand old tech :-)) that has a 320x320 screen, so it would be nice to be able to stretch out the UI a few more pixels than the 240x320 PocketPC screen it's probably coded for. Anyway, thanks. I finally moved my receivers off of Linux where it was always teetering on the edge of not-working due to a system update or what-not (had to hold-back MySQL upgrade because of it). Now on Windows it's slow and ugly, but it's pretty stable, I think. Anyway... is there ANYTHING out there that replaces these boxes yet?? -Dan

Yes http://www.sonos.com/ Given that Hugo owns a Sonos setup it can't be bad. Not nearly as cheap a solution though. I think I'll be switching to Sonos at some point. _________________________ Remind me to change my signature to something more interesting someday

The Squeezebox is IMO the best Receiver replacement out there, though it would be even better if it were UPnP and not its own proprietary protocol. Peter

I can only see that as an improvement. I could never read any of the screens on my Receivers from a couple of inches away, let alone on the other side of the room. Mind you I wouldn't be able to read a Squeezebox screen from the other side of the room without my glasses either. _________________________ Remind me to change my signature to something more interesting someday

Yeah, the Sonos seem like the closest. I've checked out that Homolies page a few times - he's got most of the info out there condensed. The thing that there isn't a replacement for yet (that I've seen): Rio has display & control on unit - very handy for WAF (wife acceptance factor) - no need to hunt for remote Syncs between units Has on-board Amplifier (that's actually pretty good) Sonos has all that, but at what cost (yikes!). I think it would cost about $2000 to replicate what I have in 5 Rio's. <gulp>. Some day, when they're OOB and closing these things out, however... :-) I just picked up a Tungsten C for $50 to use the Trio lite interface to control my Rio's. $50 kludge is better than $350 elegent at the moment... :-) -Dan
