I've now started the conversion of all my plugins to the SQLite based
version of Squeezebox Server(SqueezeCenter) 7.4. I'll be using this
thread for announcing new beta versions for 7.4, when the plugins are
stable enough I'll go back to the old announcement thread.
TO BE AWARE OF
==============
If you are willing to participate in beta testing you should be aware
of the following:
- I can't promise that the configuration you make in the beta versions
will work in the final versions. Hopefully it will, but you might also
have to redo the configuration when the final version is released.
- I can't promise that any statistics collected with TrackStat during
the beta version will be possible to use in the final version. Hopefully
it will, but you might also need to restore a backup from before the
beta test start.
- There might be some database table changes in some of the plugins
during the beta test period. In the worst case this might result in that
you will have to clear the cache directory and perform a full rescan if
something goes bad during table changes.
- Some functionality in the beta versions of the plugin might not have
been tested at all.
NOTE!!!
If you have never used my plugins before I would suggest that you use
the latest official versions of my plugins instead of these beta
versions. The latest official versions still only works with 7.3.3 and
earlier.
FEEDBACKS AND COMMENTS
=======================
Let me know if you find any bugs or have ideas for new features or
changes. You can post your bugs, feature request or change suggestions
in this thread or in a separate thread on the 3rd party plugins forum.
Remember to mention which plugin and version you are using.
The intention of this beta testing period is to get some help testing
the upgraded functionality, so I would appreciate if anyone
participating would focus on testing functionality that you know has
worked before. I will not add new features at this stage, the main focus
will be to make sure everything that has worked before still works with
the new Squeezebox Server version.
I've not done any testing at all in larger libraries, so if you have a
large library you might get very poor performance. If this is the case,
please let me know.
The plugin versions now available that works with 7.4 SQLite based
Squeezebox Server(SqueezeCenter) are:
TRACKSTAT 2.9PRE1
======================
- Status: Most parts have been tested
- Mostly same functionality as in TrackStat 2.8
- Added support for Mac OSX in TrackStatiTunesUpdate.pl script
- Since TrackStat relies on Custom Scan plugin for all import/export
functionality this functionality won't work until a Custom Scan beta is
available.
- Since TrackStat relies on Dynamic Playlist plugin for all dynamic
playlist functionality this functionality won't work until a Dynamic
Playlist beta is available.
To install the new versions you need to setup a new repository in
Squeezebox Server Settings/Plugins:
Code:
--------------------
http://erlandplugins.googlecode.com/svn/repository/trunk/testing.xml
--------------------
If you for some reason still don't want to use the new plugin installer
which is a part of Squeezebox Server, you can of course still download
the plugins from:
