The "industry standards", i.e. mp4 / mov / flv with h264 and mp3 should play just fine. AFAICT shipping lavc is not an option due to licensing. And then it adds a whole lot of MBs to our image size with all the dependencies. > That is, assuming the hardware can handle it.

You'd browse the remote shares and either share the actual content to a music app (which would then actually be downloaded to the device), or just a playlist (which would then be streamed, assuming gstreamer can actually stream from whatever source that is). -- Michał (Saviq) Sawicz <michal.saw...@canonical.com> Canonical Services Ltd.
