No, you need a standalone SBS. 

The built-in SBS on the Touch doesn't officially support third party
plugins. 

Theoretically you can install them manually through ssh but it requires
that the plugins doesn't initiate stuff that isn't available, like the
web interface. However, the big problem with Custom Browse is that even
if it would be possible to adapt the code to handle the dependencies, it
will still use too much memory.

Theoretically I think it might be possible to develop a new plugin that
can browse by custom tags and run on the Touch, but it would require a
lot more hard coded solution than what Custom Browse currently does.

You can of course connect the Touch towards a standard SBS running on a
computer and thus use Custom Browse on it the same way as you already
today do with the Radio or Controller.

Just to be clear, I completely agree with Logitech's decision to not
support third party plugins on the Touch built-in SBS, it doesn't have
enough resources (memory, CPU) to handle this kind of load without
causing instability and performance problems.
