From the posts I've seen LMS 7.7.3 or thereabouts still seems quite common - would that need to be updated? How old is iplayer 1.3? Will 1.6 run on 7.7.3?
There comes a time for all software users when they have to move with the times. I'd suggest 3 years stability is acceptable (others may disagree), but after that one should not be surprised when you have to move on. (I keep very up to date, but that's my choice). I guess the alternative is to provide 2 versions, one for older systems (with very little or no support for the old one) and one for later ones. That's doable with the installation xml files isn't it? LMS 7.9.2 on VortexBox Midi box, Xubuntu 18.04, FLACs 16->24 bit, 44.1->192kbps. 2 Touchs & EDO. LMS plugin UPnP/DLNA Bridge to MF M1 CLiC (A308CR amp & ESLs) & Marantz CR603 UPnP renderers. Also Minimserver & Upplay to same & to upmpdcli/mpd PC renderers. Squeezelite to Meridian USB Explorer DAC to PC speakers/headphones. Wireless Xubuntu 18.04 laptop firefox/upplay or Android 'phone with Squeeze-Commander/BubbleUPnP controls LMS/Minimserver. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PasTim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41642 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53229 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
