Thank you. That may have contributed to our misunderstanding, but by then I had already failed to understand what you were trying to achieve, and I had filled in the blanks in my understanding with my own assumptions. Sometimes it is necessary to make inferences, because some people do not have a background that has prepared them to make the necessary observations or the vocabulary needed to report them. I have been in that role, and probably will be again, and resolving my issues depended on finding someone who was able to "read between the lines" and infer what I needed to say but was incapable of saying. But that approach made for a misguided and unhelpful response to you. What was needed was simply to read what you wrote and refrain from inferring anything. This exchange has been a good reminder that that should always be an option. I did think I was trying to be neutral and non-judgmental in my replies to you, but I see now that I did not try hard enough. Anyone whose inference engine is running will notice unstated implications in my words. So I would like to state openly and for the record that it is a perfectly valid option to prefer properly packaged software to manual installations. Fortunately, I am not one of the most knowledgeable people here, so some people who actually know their way around are providing what you need. I don't think I was exactly wrong when I told you that what you wanted (if I understood it by then) was unlikely. But Craig (cpd730) has shown again why he is one of the heroes of this community, and if I have finally arrived at an understanding of your needs, I think it is very likely that you will be happy with the results. All the best.... Usually running latest beta LMS nightly on Raspberry Pi OS with virtual players (Squeezelite and Airplay bridge). Occasionally using SB Radio, Boom or Classic. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ RobbH's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=67008 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116934 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
