Burnstation 3 ideas, concepts
* New Features
- Support for internet radios and other audio source (comunitarias, movements, indymedia, jamendo)
- Support for internet video (ngvision, indymedia, independent tv networks)
- "dual-head" / Screensaver : let's give it some movement (as an infopoint screen in the street)
- Support for RSS news from indipendent media
- Support for torrent downloading to syncronize CC Music
- Support for lyrics and wiki (as amarok)
- Torrent network as Decentralized CC Music database ( torrent tacker * )
* Burnstation as a plugin of an existing Python Media Center
- Means a completely new concept to what we have now.
- Means we forget of the development of a Media Center and just hook in through a plugin the functions we need to achieve.
Media Center Candidates
if this idea make sense, the media center candidate should be the easier to be used to accomplish new goals, in other words, the one that take less development to host burnstattion 3.0
