The point is to get meta data from Nevo Server
software out to the Nevo SL, thus allowing visual
control of the Fireball remotely.
Are you saying you would like to be able to somehow install the Nevo Server |software onto the Escient? I don't think this is a very good idea. The Escient is rock |solid right now. No point adding non-Escient software to it and messing things up. I |know that some users have not been happy with the effect that the Nevo Server |software has on their PC's. I would prefer to see Escient & Nevo come up with a |different solution. If this is their solution, then I'll just deal with standard IR control of |the Escient and no meta data. At least I'll know that the escient will work that way.
My hope is to point the Nevo Server software to the music files sitting on the fireball share (obviously the Nevo software won't be able to read FLAC files). The server software would be loaded on a Windows PC with a network drive mapping to the Fireball share. On the remote itself, you would be able to see the meta data provided by the server software. This is just a hypothesis--I have no idea if it would work. Either way, my plan is probably moot as the next revision is providing Escient support.
