I think we have to assume Triode may not be back any time soon, if at all. It would anyway be unwise to expect someone who has given enormous amounts of his time to our collective benefit being willing to continue doing so forever. Why should he (or indeed she)?
So the question becomes how can we help ourselves? I don't know the answer, but I thought someone should pose the question sooner rather than later. There are still some, how can I put this, LMS 'elder statesmen' around who might be able to indicate what skill sets are needed so that between us we can work out how to fill the gaps in our knowledge regarding the iPlayer (let alone many other invaluable plugins, squeezelite and so on). I note that get_iplayer already seems to be able to use HLS (via ffmpeg or avconv) even for 'listen again', according to https://squarepenguin.co.uk/wiki/releasenotes/release291/ . Unfortunately my coding skills predate much of what is in use now (including OO) and I find myself unable to understand most of the LMS code, so I am sorely lacking as a hacker. I am, however, happy to contribute in any other ways, including performing alpha testing, whenever I can. Now it may be that I am being daft. It would not be the first time, and won't be the last. So if others know better than I, just say so and I'll keep quiet. :) LMS 7.9 on VortexBox Midi, Xubuntu 14.04, FLACs 16->24 bit, 44.1->192kbps. LMS & Squeeze2upnp to MF M1 CLiC (to MF amp & ESLs) & Marantz CR603 UPnP renderers. Minimserver (server) & upplay (control point) to same renderers & to upmpdcli/mpd PC renderers. Squeezelite to Meridian USB Explorer DAC to speakers/phones. Wireless Xubuntu 14.04 laptop with firefox/upplay or Android 'phone with Squeeze-Commander/BubbleUPnP controls LMS/Minimserver. Have a Touch with EDO, and a spare, but don't use. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PasTim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41642 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53229 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
