So I am really glad to have you as someone tackling out the root cause... Another two questions that I got in my mind: Is SqueezeIR loading/caching the whole lirc files or only the parts needed by SqueezeIR? How about the idea of adding an option for choosing whether SqueezeIR should load the cache file first or load the config from the server during startup. For testing a new SqueezIR version or config file that would be an idea just telling the controller to load the files from the server at startup... If anything causes the controller to reboot or shutdown due to issues with the SqueezeIR config, you will change the config files on the server, SqueezeIR will load a working/backuped config and do business as usual. Trust me, it's no fun to login to a rebooting controller via ssh. Maybe you have forgotten to start ssh on your controller before changing the config and have to enable it first on a restarting controller... NO FUN ;o) P.S.: Thank you for introducing a chincheta bug ;o) -- 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
