The developers' thread erland refers to in his first post is very long, and I'm not inclined to read it all. Could we have a brief summary, erland? And why aren't you maintaining your plugins? As I understood it, the SBS architecture (and SB itself) had changed considerably recently. That means that developers do need to learn different programming methods. That obviously takes time, but the software is still open source. I agree that having open source software was one of the reasons I went with Squeezebox, and there are several plugins I find essential. Did Logitech previously have a staff member part of whose job was communicating with third-party developers? If not, then unless Logitech move to a closed structure, third-party development shouldn't be affected. I'm just a user, and don't have any notion of what's involved in developing. So feel free to say that I am talking nonsense. On a different but related point, does anyone know if an incompatible plugin can stop connection of an SB to the SBS? I would have expected that connection would be fine, but the plugin would just not load. I ask because this possibility is the only one I can think of that explains why I had troubles with my SB Radio in the past. -- danco ------------------------------------------------------------------------ danco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=210 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73698 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
