The LMS is not really open source. The bulk of it was developed by Slimdevices (although in the first few years, I believe there were sigificant ocntrinution from a few dedicated users) and now Logitech. When new strategic feature or support for new hardware are being developed they are usually hidden until ready for beta. The "open source" is the release s/w and users are free to change it for themselves only and also offer patches for bugs. The patches are applied mainly by Logitech staff. Over the years many users have made similar remarks about shortcoming in UI, design, modularity etc - however it is Logitech s/w and their staff devleoping and maintaining it and have over the last few years tidied it up. Howevere the staff are also sometimes directed by corporate strategy to develop features that become dead ends such as DLNA support. Many plugin and user are frustrated by LMS but there is little point in complaining as it will not be rewritten. This is a user to user forum and not a Logitech one - users try to help users. So if you could be more specific about the problems you are encountering perhaps suggestions and workaround can be offered. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95148 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
