Maintaining someone else code isn't that easy, maintaining the current TrackStat code is almost a nightmare. Unfortunately I have to live with this nightmare since I neither have the time nor the inspiration to rewrite the code.
However, it would be a good idea if a small part of the functionality was included in the core, such as support for changing ratings and support for dynamic playlists. It's not about copying code, it's about implementing similar functionality the "correct" way that's easier to maintain. As long as Logitech isn't ready to maintain the functionality everyone is better of with the functionality as third party plugins. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info) (Install my plugins through Extension Downloader) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library, Title Switcher and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.isaksson.info/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69157 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
