Your solution will help users by being "lighter" than ffmpeg. Outputting adts AAC is OK as faad is supplied with LMS (even for armv5 it is fixed point faad better than ffmpeg I think). Will you provide and support a binary for all platforms (various ReadyNAS, Synology, QNAP etc., Linux, Windows, OSX ) or rely on 3rd parties to build and host. Be clear from the start what you will and will not do - otherwise you could be overwhelmed. For a version of AlienBBC (BBCiPlayer predecessor), part of the installation would download an appropriate copy of mplayer which simplified installation. If binaries (and source) of your ffmpre replacement are included as part of the plugin for main architectures - that would simplify installation for many users and I think would be what user would appreciate rather than being "Lighter". A dilemma I have at the moment is that I am reluctant to produce a V1.2 of the plugin because it would trigger an install which would overwrite all customisations users have made to the plugin files and so break their BBC radio. Including a ffmpeg replacement binary in the plugin would minimise this issue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103158 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
