It took some doing, but AndyG has finally disclosed why Zeroconf/bonjour was gone from SBS 7.4 (too big/awkward for Touch), and that the feature can move to a plugin.
Good. On CPAN there is Net::RendezVous which can do publishing. There is a connector with Avahi-daemon and mdns, theoretically the plugin could register dynamically the service on OS X and on Linux. Slimdevices has registered 2 services ( http://dns-sd.org/ServiceTypes.html ) -- I wonder if there wasn't a 3rd one published. Bringing back the functionality to OS X users and porting it to linux doesn't seem too difficult, from here. However, I personally still lack the understanding of how a plugin works. (Before someone asks: to me, the obsolete wiki pages are no help at all.) Does a plugin savvy contributor want to step up ? -- epoch1970 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70896 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
