Time to test a new platform! Guest dashboard, WOL, etc.

Hi!

Would you like to help test this new platform before wider release?

http://alpha.amahi.org/tmp/hda-platform ... noarch.rpm

Has a new setting called "Guest dashboard" ... (among other smaller fixes):

Installed and appears to be working great!

Is there any plans to have apps configurable for the guest dashboard? For example, be able to control which apps a guest can see/access. This would be a great addition for users as well.

Not trying to make more work, but I recall this being requested before and did not know if it was on the radar.

require login for app access is a topic that it's not managed through the web interface. see that link for instructions on how to do it.

we could add some of this. it's a fair bit of work, and it would only work on webapps (other apps, say amahitunes, DLNA) which do not get interfaced via a web interface would not be protected. however it would be a good start.

it's an interesting feature and it's doable. maybe we can add it in the amahi 6 release, since we do have per-user settings support on that.
