This is barely luke warm, not heated. We are calm. Well, I am.. ;) I realised of course that android, osX, numerous zillions of infrastructure devices the world over are Linux based and therefore open source based. And yet, my Linux based smart TV won't play Ogg Vorbis files. Why is that? They didn't have the codec expertise in-house, so they didn't want to touch it. But they know they have to support proprietary Microsoft, Sony, and apple formats so they pick up the phone and buy the expertise in; but no-one has the breadth of imagination to simply install the libs that come with the base OS for free to support to the freebies.
Apple are a bit special aren't they. Or they were. Perhaps they need to find a new industry to innovate in, their approach to the ones they are in is becoming quite stale. <i>Transcoded from Matt's brain by Tapatalk</i> -- Hardware: 3x Touch, 1x Radio, 2x Receivers, 1 HP Microserver NAS with Debian+LMS 7.9.0 Music: ~1300 CDs, as 450 GB of 16/44k FLACs.
