I think you're talking about getting data that you've pushed to SDT via an additional plugin to also display on the controller via 'Extras'. I had not thought about that specifically. This will make the data from them available to an application interfacing with SDT via Cli, but that wont directly cause it to appear on the Controller. When I have a sec I'll look into seeing what I can do to accomplish that. -Greg -- GoCubs ------------------------------------------------------------------------ GoCubs's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=312 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=14327 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
