Oops... dunno why I used "Standalone" in the thread title. Mea culpa!
What I am personally heading for is clearly NOT a standalone system in the first place but a "Modern Player" for the start:
- to feed into the chain
- to mainly show what is currently going on, plus some reasonable "at device" options to interact in minimal fashion
- to be initially operated prim. via local tablets for the details - but IF more really proves it can reasonably be done via the small TFT, it shall of course be augmented
- to finally go into a physical box that also helps cleaning up some cabling (which would also make the wife a bit happier
)
- to add some lacking local features that may make the wife even more happier (still much at idea level, though)
- ...
- but NOT to eg. cook coffee, feed the dog, or do the laundry
For the TFT, I'd of course like to make as much reasonable use of it as possible.
