I am sure that an update of the configurator will be required, simply because there will be more things to configure, such as PLC. In addition, there will need to be web based software to control or select the streaming services, something similar to Sonore's 'Sonicorbiter' and 'app switcher' software, that allows set up of the 'network attached endpoint', and allows selection between streaming modes, such as DLNA, RAAT, HQPlayer or whatever.
Without this I cannot see how the OS Board can function.
Of course some kind of 'on line' configurator is a different thing altogether. Personally, I find the SD card swapping a pain, but a tolerable pain because it is something that normally only needs to be done very occasionally, so it is no big deal. The software for switching between streaming protocols is something that might be used very frequently, so this needs to be very slick and robust, or much frustration will be caused.
