I just realized that there is very little information shown in the Applet Installer on the Squeezeplay devices regarding the applet you install.
You basically just see the applet name and its version, the other information available in the repository XML file like description, name of developer, changes since last version isn't showed anywhere. If feels like it would be a good idea to show a bit more information about each applet. One thing is to show what the applet does and who has developed it so the user can decide if he wants to install it and who to contact if something doesn't work, another thing is to give the developer who has developed the applet some credit. It would also be good when the applet might use information from other providers and you need to give these providers some credit to be allowed to use their resources. In the Squeezebox Server Plugins tab all this information is shown for plugins but there is nothing similar available for Squeezeplay applets as far as I've seen. So far it hasn't been a big issue, but I think it will after the release of more Squeezeplay based devices like the Radio and Touch. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info) (Install my plugins through Extension Downloader) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library, Title Switcher and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.isaksson.info/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67548 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
