Re: Review of HD1000 at DigitalProducer.(Notentirelypositive)

Yes, this has been the major issue with MusicJukebox as the HD1000 doesnt 
have much memory left for third-party applications (like any other embedded 
device).

Make sure you follow the directions on my web page to set up a permanent 
swap file so that MusicJukebox can load up all of your music.

I'll have a new version out this week which makes the music scanning very 
quick as well as adds M3U/PLS/B4S/RMP/ASX playlists and dynamic playlists.

If the new version of RokuOS doesn't handle the memory issue, then I'll have 
to come out with a new version that handles the database differently and 
doesn't load it all into memory for performance.
