Anthias on x64 hardware request

[techminer71]

Hello,

With the shortage of Raspberry Pi's continuing and seeing that the official Screenly is using x64 for their players now, I was wondering if there may be any interest or creating any interest in an x64 version of Anthias.

With having various thin clients and/or Intel Mac Minis, this would be a good source of hardware that we could use for digital signage in our area. I have tried getting it to work on a Thin Client by changing the architecture to x64 and had gotten some aspects to boot, but could not get past the point where it pulls docker into the equation.

I think that this would expand the pool of usable devices for Anthias and get more people using it. If not I would have to look at an alternate product and would prefer not to do that as we have a pretty decent amount of Screenly OSE devices already. I mainly just wanted to get the conversation started and would like to keep it going if at all possible.

Thanks

It's something we've discussed in the past. With the changes we're making (WebKit base player, moving video to vlc), this will be a lot more attainable.
