Glad to hear things are running better now. One thing, note that SomaFM,
Last.fm, etc are "apps" not applets. "Apps" are really services, and
even though the interface talks about "installing" them, they really
aren't installing anything. Applets, on the other hand, are things that
you actually install and run on the player. Applets only work with newer
players (SB Controller, Radio, and Touch), whereas "apps" also work with
older players like the Boom, SB3/Classic, etc. So there are plugins,
apps, and applets. Confused? You're not alone. Basically Logitech
decided to jump on the iThing bandwagon and get "app-happy" with what
are basically internet services for the SB. 

Since you have your server running on-demand via WOL, I don't
understand why you presume a SB server would have to be on 24/7. SBS
can be run on-demand as well. In fact the SrvrPowerCtrl plugin has lots
of great options, including switching your players over to mysb.com
after a certain idle period, and then suspending/hibernating/shutting
down your server. Getting that to play nicely with your video serving
could take some work, but running a local music server does _not_ imply
it has to be on 24/7. Granted, you'll want to get your SBC WOL problem
sorted out first -- did you ever check if audio playback was enabled on
the SBC, and if it was, disabling it?

Oh, and if you're waiting for SBS plugins to be compatible with TinySBS
you'll be waiting a long time. The current lack of plugin support on
TinySBS was a conscious decision related to hardware limitations. I
doubt you'll ever see many (any?) plugins for TinySBS on the current
Touch hardware.
