Anyone interested in porting GlobeCom to JavaScript for commercial home entertainment systems?
I have a special web-server with an integrated JavaScript engine and I know some companies making embedded home entertainment systems that could potentially be interested in a good web-based jukebox.
I already have a simple music demo that shows how one could do this. Anyone interested can check out my server at: http://rtlogic.theunixman.com/
Linux users: I currently have no Linux executable due to some administrative problems, sorry.

Sounds interesting (and the bi-directional communication layer looks rather powerful). One question though - does this server/platform provide any kind of rDBMS?
Gjukebox isn't exactly demanding in its SQL requirements (It works with MySQL, so it can't do any fancy SQL anyway), but I see no mention of a DBMS at all in the barracuda platform, and can't find any javascript DBMSes on the web, Free or otherwise).
Porting an rDBMS, even a tiny one like SQLite, would be decidedly non-trivial.

Well, the web-server comes with a cursor library, which is very similar to the cursor library found in the Netscape enterprise server. It is extremely easy to use from JavaScript. The cursor library currently supports ODBC connections and it is possible to use that connection for testing purposes if you have a ODBC database interface such as the one provided by MySql. I plan to integrate and make a direct interface to SQLite. The SQLite interface should hopefully be identical to the cursor interface I have today.
