Although some valid points are raised, there is just a heavy tinge of pessimism in this post... Sure, some people do experience these problems - you don't have to search too hard on the forums to find them, but there are easily 100's (if not 1000's?) to each one of these that just "plug'n'play". I was one of these, both with my old SB1G & the new SB3 (all wireless, may I add).... In answer to the OP Q's: Check out the "plugins" section of the website to see if what you are looking for is there. Plugin installation is usually no more painful than downloading the plugin (.pm file, I think) and plonking it in your plugins directory. A reboot of the server usually brings the plugin to the attention of the slimserver. -- DrNic ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DrNic's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=92 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21030 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
