hello all- This thread is typically for server-side plugins, but I've written a Squeezeplay applet that I'd like to ask be considered as a recommended applet. The applet can be installed on Radio/Touch/Controller via Settings->Advanced->Applet Installer (uncheck the Recommended Applets only box to allow it to show up in the list)
details: I've been working on long-standing bug http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6341 The principal goal for the bug is to deliver CJK (Chinese Japanese Korean) characters to Squeezeplay, as our current font, FreeSans, does not support this. CJK characters add a huge amount of bulk to the font file (increases size by about 8-10x), and because of tight memory constraints on our devices, we're not going to be doing this in a stock firmware. Rather than set this bug to WONTFIX, I took a little extra time and wrote an applet called FontReplacer that overwrites the FreeSans*.ttf files with a merged FreeSans + DroidSansFallback (created with FontForge and the excellent help of one of the posters on that bug). The Applet is tested and ready to go, minus a few missing translations. While I'm currently an internal developer, this is an unofficial effort and therefore I'd like it to go through the same due process anything else would get to make the recommended list. thanks for your time, #!/ben -- bklaas Logitech Developer: Squeezeplay/SqueezeOS/SqueezeboxController/SqueezeCenter Community Developer: Nokia770Skin http://www.last.fm/user/bklaas/ 'KHAAAN!'
