There are plugin documentations on the wiki for individual plugins which are fairly updated (for example mine) but the plugin lists on the wiki is no longer updated so it's better to start looking in the "Plugins" tab of LMS. On the Touch you also have the possibility to install third party applets directly on the Touch, these are found in the Settings/Advanced/Applet Installer menu directly on the Touch, they also have a checkbox to show all applets by default it only shows recommended applets.
For support documents/FAQ's, what we have is the unofficial information on the wiki and the official information at http://support.logitech.com/, I think this also have references to user manuals. Beta versions is available here http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/ agentsmith wrote: > > 2.

Are you running any third party plugins that might execute stuff in the background causing problem ? Feels strange that a Macbook Pro should have any performance issues unless you have hundred thousands tracks or something similar. There is some settings in LMS Settings/Advanced/Performance regarding Database Memory Config and Server Priority which you could try to experiment with to see if they make any difference. Do you have a good network connection between the Macbook Pro and the Touch ? If not, that could possibly explain some performance issues. agentsmith wrote: > > 3.

Converting the FLAC's to ALAC is probably the only way you would be able to make your whole library work in both iTunes and LMS. I think LMS should scan both FLAC and ALAC files as long as you have entered the music folder in LMS Settings, possibly you might have to disable the iTunes integration but if I remember correctly it shouldn't be necessary and it should work as long as you have a Music Folder configured in LMS. agentsmith wrote: > > 4.
