As I've mentioned elsewhere, I think many of my plugins will die in their current form before the new schema is introduced. The new schema means major changes and it also looks like it's going to introduce things like multiple libraries, smart playlists and flexible browsing. This means that the need for third party plugins for these things are less than today. It has been stated in the Development section of the forum that SQLite will be introduced in 7.4/8.0 but the new schema won't. So due to this I feel that waiting for the new schema won't work since this might take a year or even more in the worst case. Changing to SQLite without changing the schema should be fairly simple for most functions. Updating the code is just a matter of getting the time and inspiration to do the necessary work. If Logitech decides to introduce the new schema without also adding some basic support for smart playlists and ratings there is a need for third party plugins for this. However, before I spend a lot of time upgrading the currently plugins I like to see what Logitech is going do in the core related to this. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info) (Install my plugins through Extension Downloader) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library, Title Switcher and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.isaksson.info/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49483 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

I tested on OS X 10.5.7. It works well, a few details: http://code.google.com/p/srvrpowerctrl/ (and the local help page?) Wrote: Requirements: For OSX, the plugin requires the 'sudo', 'shutdown' and 'pmset' commands. These commands come standard, many OS X users do not know Terminal exists. I'd remove this mention to avoid possible confusion. Certainly a side-effect of the age of my system install (and SC install, I guess), but my 'cache' directory resides in ~/Library/Caches/SlimServer/ (in fact I also have ~/Library/Caches/SqueezeCenter, but it's only used by iTunesArtwork.) This makes the install process break, since $script uses Library/Caches/SqueezeCenter. I relaunched the script manually, as is, from Library/Caches/SlimServer and the install went well. So maybe this is worth a footnote in the readme ? I had to reboot the machine entirely to get sudo to come to effect. Before that I had weird system messages in the console saying that my very own uid wasn't to be found in /etc/passwd. The block/unblock on login works if the server's CLI is on the standard port. For my latest experiments I had moved the CLI port to , and the side effect is that block/unblock don't operate. Perhaps you want to mention this in the install doc ?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng support thread
I was looking more into the stream.mp3 for (hopeful) streaming within ipeng to play on iphone. According the SC help remote streaming, you need to allow for storing the username and password of the SC somewhere as it needs http://username:passw...@localhost:9000/stream.mp3. Or at least need to handle a popup prompt for the username password from SC. Also, my prior suggestion of defaulting the ipeng players stream bitrate limiting to 64kbs for submission raises one point where I think that everytime you launch the stream, it will revert back to the 64k as SC sets up a player based on the launching MP3 players IP address which will obviously be constantly changing with an iphone when on the cellular network. So is there a way to store the default stream bitrate limiting option in ipeng, save any new value that we set it to for future launches and pass that new defaulted value every time ipeng launches a new stream? We probably would need to store volume adjustment\replay gain and Preamp volume control as well. Not sure if we also need lame quality level and mp3 streaming method settings or others as well. -- rme rme's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1551 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51929 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

However, keep these facts in mind: Uploading to google code requires two passwords: the google code account password which can be made arbitrarily strong by the user and a 2nd password randomly generated by google code which is _very_ strong. Also, the repo file for the plugin contains a sha value which the extension downloader checks against the downloaded zipfile at install time.
