What is the smallest device with HDMI 1080 out that can run a web browser?
Would a Raspberry Pi work?
Has anyone set up such a device to run NowPlaying?

Remote "NowPlaying" will be a very nice feature.

Has anyone made any modifications to nowplaying.html that they'd like to share?
I would like to make a version that works correctly with Chrome/Chromium.
Also I want to get rid of the clock and all other Flash content.

Thank you very much Peter!
I bought a 1GB MK802 mini PC for $74 and installed Ubuntu on it to get 1080p output via HDMI to my big flatscreen TV. I launch Chromium to access nowplaying.html and view it full screen.
I may try to tweak nowplaying.html a little more to make best use of 1920x1080 resolution.

Anyone still watching this thread?
On the off-chance that someone is still watching..
I've got Logitech Media Server 7.7.2 running on a Vortexbox machine - that runs under Linux, about which I have much to learn, being only a beginner.
The LMS web interface runs happily on either of the two PCs on my network, both Windows 7 machines which find LMS at [n.n.n.n.]:9000
I've been using Filezilla to search around inside the Linux box, but haven't been able to find where LMS keeps its html files, to add "nowplaying.html". I got quite excited when I found a folder at /var/www/html with various files and folders in it, but that seems to be for Vortexbox's own web interface, and not for LMS.
Can anyone point me to where the LMS web files are?Squeezebox Duet digital into Yamaha RX-V2700 and Jamo speakers; analogue into Speakercraft MZC-66 for whole house system. Library is mostly FLAC, on external USB drive; Squeezecenter 7.7 running on VortexBox (built on an elderly Dell PC). Ethernet between Squeezebox and PC; controller uses wireless via router.

I have been monitoring this thread and wondering why it was so quiet. I thought that now that the Raspberry Pi is out in the wild this would be a popular application for it!
On my Ubuntu Linux the files go in '/usr/share/squeezeboxserver/HTML/EN/html/SqueezeJS' if that helps.
I will soon be posting my effort at modifying the html, if I can just sort one more seemingly minor (yet infuriatingly difficult) issue...

I would love this now playing screen to look like the one from JiveLite, ie basic and uncluttered, don't suppose anyone has changed the HTML to emulate that have they?

Mine looks a bit like this at the moment - but I'm still playing!
Have very little knowledge of HTML/CSS/JavaScript so just Googling lots...
