Hej. Thank you for your opinion. The voice of reason always has a nice ring to it. Download counts suggest that apparently once DPLv3 is removed from the LMS main repo future versions would only reach a small fraction of all previous DPL v3 users which is kind of sad. Adding external repo urls seems to be a lot less common than I'd hoped. So you're right, it'd probably be better if DPL v3 remained part of the LMS main repo. Therefore I've changed the internal plugin name that LMS uses, both for Dynamic Playlists 3 and Custom Skip 3. But even if I add DPL3 or CS3 to the LMS main repo (again) one thing remains: due to some changes in my life I'll have even less time to spend on LMS plugins. I don't know yet what this will mean for these plugins (and others) but we'll see. That was actually the main reason I'd considered removing DPL3 from the main repo. BTW when I did some tests on a *clean* LMS 8.2.1 test system CustomSkip 2.5.83 didn't show up in the list of "unsupported extensions" for me. It's still listed in the main repo xml file though, just didn't show on the settings > plugins page under "unsupported extensions". All of the other plugins did though. Can anybody reproduce this? For testing purposes I've added the versions with the different internal name to this repo https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AF-1/lms-customskip/main/public.xml I did some preliminary tests but maybe users who know their way around github (RobbH et al.) could confirm that they still work as they should and whether the new versions, once installed, peacefully coexist with the old unsupported versions of DPL and CS in the LMS main repo. Take care. Thanks again.
