Valid question, but likely to stir up some resentment. :-) The script-based architecture is there to promote extensibility. The cost of extensibility is well understood across software engineering and SC is no exception.
SC has definitely grown in resource requirements and, yes, it could be its undoing. I think there is certainly a place for an SC-Lite with basic functionality and no plugins. However the appeal of the whole Squeezebox solution comes from its ability to adapt and extend - something that couldn't be achieved if the architecture didn't support scripting. Does it need to be so script-based? I don't know. If you haven't done so already, I would recommend you go through the plugins list and switch off those you don't use. This will bring down the RAM footprint to a degree. -- simbo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ simbo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11481 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=50698 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
