No. Copyright & money will always be there to try to lock users into a BBC app. Being paranoid, Sounds and mobile app with sign-in could try to displace web based player as http & Browsers based applications evolve. This would make plugins dependent on the new API. This could then be followed by locking the API by the required use of the API key (this was the case until recently). For non UK users, it will then end up having ads (DASH is designed to support inserted ads unlike HTTP/MP3) and/or paid services. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113045 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
