Logitech doesn't dictate which plugins get written, they get written by users who wanted to solve a problem they have or extend functionality. So it's not a choice of one or the other. A UPNP client would have to be built into the player firmware, no small feat. It's up to Logitech of course, but there's a lack of interest in this forum because SqueezeCenter (even if not everyone likes it) provides many, many more features than a UPNP server. Personally I'd rather Logitech work on just about anything else...I'd never use a UPNP server myself and I have no interest in it. > I'm using mediatomb as upnp server, and here you can change the whole > listing and browsing structure of your files.

Then why can't mediatomb be made to "speak" SlimProto? SlimProto is as open as UPNP. Why does Logitech have to adapt the Squeezebox to it and not the other way around? -- Mark Lanctot Ben Klass: "I won't even eat a pre-7.0 meal. Well, unless it involves bacon."
