Hi Hechtus, 1st huge thanks for creating this plugin I'm hitting an issue on arch linux (on ARM). I followed your install guide and anything seemed to install and after restarting logitechmediaserver I see your plugin, but when I enable it if fails. I do not see where I need to enter my google user and passwd as there is no settings that I can find. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ grahams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33919 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99482 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
