<br>
<br>The system in the clubroom has just been replaced - old robotnik was
<br>having a few hardware problems I believe, and it has been replaced with a
<br>raspberry pi called eggman.
<br>
<br>Robotnik was an x86 machine (I don't recall much more about the hardware),
<br>running ubuntu or debian. The music was mostly stored on an nfs share,
<br>with a little local storage on robotnik itself for playlists and
<br>user-uploaded content. We use an assortment of interfaces for it; locally
<br>on robotnik there was phpmp as a web interface as well as ncmpc as a
<br>command line interface. We also had Ario on most of the desktop as part of
<br>the SOE, but I don't think that got used much.
<br>
<br>Eggman is still being set up. For now I think someone has just stuck MPD
<br>on it so we can have basic music services. The plan in the future is to
<br>install something that has spotify support in addition to the mpd
<br>capabilities, such as mopidy. I believe members also want the ability to
<br>drag/drop youtube links on to the interface to make it play those over the
<br>speakers too.
<br>
<br>Shoot an email to tech@ if you have any further questions.
