Hi Andy sorry for your installation troubles, may I ask if you are using OSX or the Windows version? Were you able to get the app installed finally? Any feed back you can provide is great. We have an auto update feature built in to address any issues and fix them as soon as they are identified. This honestly is the first time I heard of this error.
If you would like to preview the interface on your iPhone go to http://music.dottunes.net:9998 (no password needed for the Guest account) Also regarding your and Shelly's questions: The iPhone plugin is in essence some extra CSS (along with lots of backend coding), however there is more that goes into it than that. The plugin will actually display your album art, as well as all Meta data (Comments, Lyrics, etc) on the file detail page. Beside that, the Share Plugin(s) functionality allow you to open up your DOTTUNES to multiple users. True there are home brew methods and other apps out there. Not only does DT work on OSX and Windows it will run on any machine that has iTunes on it. Doesnt need to be anything special. Not trying to be the only solution and realize we never will. At the same time, we feel that having all of the features that we do (SSL, Flash player, access over multiple devices etc) we are a little different. I also realize most of the people here reading this list are well smart enough to whip something like this up on their own, however there are many people who enjoy clicking a few buttons and getting access to their entire iTunes library. Again being that this is a developer's group and not a sales platform, my whole reason for even following up is that I had posted the question about Quicktime & Etags while I was in research mode, and answered all related responses to it. This forum has helped me to better understand the iPhone interface and I thought I would share the results of our work! As for why we are charging for the Plug-In, well the application has been slowly built over the course of 4 years. My team came on board with the web stuff 2 years ago. We recently made the decision to give the core parts of the app away free, and allow people to customize it with Plug-Ins based on their needs. I know some people will love this and some will hate it. Like they say you can't please them all! Once again, anyone with any development related questions I look forward to jumping back into that part of the group. Now that this project has launched I look forward to working with and learning from you all back in R&D world. Have a great day!
