I got tired of the restricted view Logitech has on third party plugins
where they only want to make it easy to install third party plugins
which they have approve and recommend. Using other plugins, like some of
mine, which aren't approved means that you will have to manually
configure repository urls in Extension Downloader.

So to temporary solve this until Logitech has changed their mind I've
made a new plugin called Auto Repositories which automatically makes all
third party plugin repositories that are listed on the Logitech wiki
site available through Extension Downloader. The plugin doesn't actually
read the wiki page directly since that would open up a security hole,
instead it reads the repositories from a list available on the
erlandplugins Google Code project. New repostories added to the wiki
page will be added after they have been checked so they provide serious
plugins and not spam urls.

Hopefully this is just a temporary solution and we will soon have a
good solution in standard Squeezebox Server.

Please post any comments in this thread or as separate thread in the
3rd party plugins section of the forum. 

As usual my plugins are available through Extension Downloader if you
are using SqueezeCenter 7.3 or later, you will find the url to my
repository here:

For users that for some reason don't want to use the great Extension
Downloader, you can of course still download the zip from my download
page:

The documentation about the plugins on my wiki will be updated when the
final versions of the plugins are released. But until then you will find
the old plugin documentation here:
