I (and others) have tried contacting Triode during the year and have got no reply and I feel he has experienced a life changing event and so has more pressing matters. That said, I have worked witrh Triode over the years and I expect he'll understand why I decided to undertake maintenance of the plugin. I think it's better for Triode that the plugin is maintained rather than become a mess of install & patches from disparate places. For a plugin to continue to be useful, it has to be actively maintained. Triode is still the author the BBCiPlayer plugin and I will not change any of the notices at the start of the Triode authored files. I have added files to support Dash and they will have appropriate notices licensed in the same way. This is similar to when I had created some "Addons" in an earlier version of Triode's AlienBBC. I will add a list of contributors in Settings so it is easily seen. I have no interest nor need for any commercial gain arising from supporting BBCiPlayer plugin. Becoming maintainer is a double edged sword besides taking control it also means taking responsibility which can mainfest in unwanted forms so it is not a task I take on lightly - it is much easier to write code and just keep it for my own use. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104672 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
