We just released the latest version of VortexBox. It's a great open source Linux distro for building NAS/video server boxes. It has makeMKV built in and it will auto-rip a DVD or Blu-Ray that is inserted into it's drive. Here is the release announcement.
It's been over a year since our last full release of VortexBox. There have been small incremental updates but not a big release. VortexBox 2.3 is finally ready! Thanks to the work of our community the release has a huge number of features and updates. Although the interface looks the same, most of the features are in the underlying technology.
- SqueezeBox Server 7.8.0 the latest release from Community Squeeze
- Fedora 20 with better hardware support for new DACs, motherboards, etc
- Squeezelite as a built-in player
- Full DSD support - play DSD direct to a DSD capable DAC or transcode to PCM in-line for non DSD DACs
- Backup and restore now does the LMS settings as well
- Network-based install so you can install from a USB key
- Latest PlexMedia Server to serve files to TVs and video devices
- SqueezeBox Server Google Music plug-in prebuilt for VortexBox
- SqueezeBox Server Shairport (Airplay) plug-in prebuilt for VortexBox
Thanks to the community for all your hard work on features, bug fixes, testing, etc!
