I am just at the beginning... I trained my lua a little bit and changed the SqueezeIRApplet.lua the way I suggested in my post before. Now the controller is much more stable and accepts at least one update, reboots on purpose and loads the config again without starting reboot cycles. Far better than before. I will test it the next few days. I attached the SqueezeIRApplet.lua-file. On the leftmost part of each line I commented everything out using "--" that might do some settings-savings. The "-- LOOK HERE" comment marks the load file to and from server parts. I hope you get through my mess... The option "Purge Cash" won't work. Also not implemented is the idea of loading from the server and only fall back to the local copy in case of an emergency. I hope this helps improving SqueezeIR. P.S.: I dont't know if it works well on SqueezePlay-Windows due to the file location. I used the applet's path name in the controller (see new local variable APPLETDIR). +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: SqueezeIRApplet.lua.txt | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=11307| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- chincheta0815 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ chincheta0815's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=42904 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79524 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
