I have had Squeezeboxes since the original "sweat shop" Slimp3. Although I am a techie, there is nothing worse than something 'half-working', i.e. sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Over the years I have had various versions of Slim/Squeezeserver on my server, not all have been stable. But when I find a version which is stable, I stick too it for up to a year. And when I update, I delete the old version first, to make sure there are no problems.
Maybe Logitech should put users in 3 categories. 1: Novice user: Last (really) STABLE release 2: Experienced user: Normal releases 3: Nerd class: Nightly builds Then only ship the novice version to customers. If they feel comfortable they can still copy a plugin or 2 into the plugins directory. If the system goes haywire they can still delete the plugins. What about "Squeeze certified plugins" that have been tested by a couple of people running vanilla setups? I once installed an equalizer plugin to get more bass, but some songs ended up sounding like chipmunks singingÂ… But there are some great plugins out there. I have a good dozen devices running seamlessly. The only real problems I have had have been my own fault like faulty access points*, but rarely a problem with the software or hardware. The bottom line is: If your computer does not have any problems and your access points work (and you have reception).. the devices do -just work- That is my 2 helvetic cents/rappen ---------------------------- *Why is it so hard to build an access point that will run for months on end? My advice, build your own: www.pcengines.ch with m0n0wall running on it -- Sike ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sike's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2458 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47302
