I use LMS8 on a pCP 1.6, but I setup a "simple" system for a non technical friend who doesn't live in the area, so tech support is phone/email. In an effort to save him the $50 for a Pi, and the technical aspects of understanding separate music "server" and a "player", I skipped the Pi, got him a touch, added his library to a jump drive, plugged it in, and we manually created favorite radio stations by searching and adding.
He loves it btw....
Over time, a few of the favorite stream urls have gone dead, and in some cases he can't search and fine anything through the "radio->search" (Tunein) menu.
Of course with my pCP (or any LMS) I can go to the web, find non tune in urls that work and add them through the LMS web interface, or even access the favorites.opml file. I am wondering if something similar can be done with the touch and Tiny LMS?
It would be great if I can help him do any of the following. Remember, this is remote support, I don't have his touch in front of me:
1) Manually enter a URL favorite into tinyLMS
2) He can manually enter a url through mysb.com, could one then be "imported" to Tiny LMS?
3) If I could send him a favorites.opml file, it lit located somewhere on the jump drive, or is it accessible in the touch?
I realize that this is trailing edge technology and some of the community would prefer I abandon Tiny LMS :p. I am starting to lean toward spending the $, and setting up a pCP for him and helping him understand how to plub in the jump drive and use it. I would make remote support easier.
