I've actually rarely tried :) But there would be situations I'd expect to see problems, for example changes to sync logic, or changes to supported formats. Imagine if SC thinks an SB3 can play a specific format native (because that was just added to the fw) but in fact it can't (because it's been held back). You certainly can edit the config to hold back the version as you mention, and it'll work fine for most cases. I think it's a fair compromise to require the minority of people who want to run mismatched versions to do a little extra work so that the majority of us who don't can get automatic up/downgrades and a nice smooth experience. The really unfortunate issue (which is a relatively new problem) arises with SN having it's own version requirements. I would think some work could go into making SN more tolerant of fw versions a few iterations each side of "ideal". -- radish ------------------------------------------------------------------------ radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51310 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
