Thanks, Erland, but unfortunately I'm running the server on a ReadyNAS Duo so I don't think I can do any transcoding on that. I did notice in the documentation that changes were made so it 'compiles cleanly' on ARM. I would say that Apple is interested in the overall prosperity of its iTunes/iOS ecosystem as the main goal. Note that they have already licensed Airplay on Pioneer receivers and B&W speaker docks. I think as long as you use iTunes and have some kind of iDevice/Mac they have succeeded with their business interests. I offer a $25 bounty to the first person that does a SB Touch plug-in with Shairport! :) -- Lugie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lugie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36257 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86973 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
