All of these have always worked natively in iPeng. The only one that doesn't (and never will) is WMA. No other formats are supported by the server so there is no point in supporting them in iPeng. OK, mp2, but that's so backwards and rarely used that we are not going to do our own codec implementation just for that. Transcode it.

I want to do a local caching/syncing, but that's a HUGE amount of work and there are still other things to be done before that. Unfortunately, it's not as simple as with Android, where you can just throw it into the device's own library. With Subsonic, the whole system implementation is made for remote access, with the Squeezebox, it's not. One example: it's a total PIA to setup the stream again in the same place (and has a <50% chance of succeeding) once you lose the control connection to the server, making too much caching pointless. So an offline mode will require a completely separate playback and control logic and that in turn means you need additional information you don't process when using the server. It's really a different player then. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96679 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
