I think it works well. I don't have a Touch, but the upscaling seems to work well in Squeezeplay and on a 'non-standard' tablet with screen size 800x480. The pillar-box result looks fine to me. I know that Classic FM and its siblings also offer RadioVis, and I believe that Absolute Radio does as well. I tinkered with the former a while back, but was diverted. I'm inclined to look again. In an ideal world the Now Playing applet would be made extensible to accomodate plug-ins. Or perhaps a 'RadioVis' NP provided and made available according to some appropriate trigger. Although I think the trigger would present a challenge at present, as I sense that 'RadioVis IP stream discovery' may not be mature, or consistently implemented, at present. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mrw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38299 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53229 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
