TLDR; BBCiPlayer on Volumio for myself probably easy - no personal benefit. Provide BBCiPlayer on Volumio with support for Volumio user base - lots of effort - no personal benefit. I don't know Volumio but writing code is usually the easy bit when the problem is well defined (btw BBC keep moving the goalpost so problem is not well defined) but user support and keeping up with side issues such as LMS updates (and users who don't want to update) is the real time consumer. OP says it's just click and BBCiPlayer is loaded and it goes - there are many many users who suddenly have an "issue" which must be a problem with BBC and/or BBCiPlayer and resolving the issue can take a lot of time. In addition would I abandon LMS community to join Volumio ? BTW this is not the first request of type "why can't you BBCiPlayer be ported to XXX system - it'll be just as easy to support two systems as one since code will be the same". The OP has a stop / start issue with playing BBC R3 @ 320kbps on LMS - I don't recall asking on forum for resolution of the issue yet LMS is being blamed. OP is aware of the BBCiPlayer support thread as they posted an issue on BBCiPlayer about Extra being on Radio menu vs App menu. If the need is so great - why has no Volumio developer just taken the BBCiPlayer plugin and replicated it ? Could there be an implementation issue doing so on Volumio ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112042 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
