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. -- 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=49483 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
