I hope you’ll forgive me if this question is a little provocative or enraging, but why do so many developers continue to concentrate their app development on LMS rather than Volumio? This is a genuine question. I genuinely don’t understand why Volumio isn’t attracting developers to the same extent as LMS.
Is it because LMS was there first? Is it the community, familiarity, investment in LMS? Is it a lack of time and the hassle of learning how to code for Volumio? Or is Volumio off-putting for some reason? Perhaps concern about Volumio’s longevity. Or some irksome coding complexity. Or maybe a less welcoming community. I know that LMS and Volumio aren’t like for like, and I’m not suggesting that LMS doesn’t have a place in the 21st or that developers should up sticks and relocate to the Volumio camp. It’s just that it seems to me that Volumio has a more concrete and vibrant future. Perhaps because its simplicity makes it easy for anyone to get started in just a few minutes. Volumio’s setup is a breeze. Anything I connect to it works out-of-the-box. And with no need for a server I can use any old NAS or even a USB stick for my music library. Volumio is so simple and reliable that even my mother can use it. I don't know if I'm a typical of those who are using both systems, but the only thing that prevents me from going 100% Volumio are the 3rd party LMS apps. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pettifoggery's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=69041 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112042 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
