Hi Philippe, I just saw your question about why more people aren't using this plugin. My feeling is that most people are only after the simplest and easiest solution and the "work" with setting up LMS, configuring a plugin and tinkering with it is too much for many people. They want something that just works every time. I think that if there was a really popular airplay device that worked right away practically every time then more people would be encouraged to use it. Do you have a list of devices that are dead simple to configure with your plugin? Maybe if that info was prevalent we could tell people to just buy XXX and use the airplay bridge and you can enjoy the squeezebox system.
I also think that people have very little appreciation for a quality system and if they do they assume they will have to pay Sonos money to get it. That is why so many people are content streaming crappy MP3's to a tiny bluetooth speaker. If something can't easily just be purchased at a big box retailer and doesn't just work right out of the box most people have no time for it. I was really hopeful for the Chromecast Audio to fill this niche as something that most people could get, that was cheap and would work right out of the box. Unfortunately the lack of any way (not just your plugin) to get gapless playback on local music with that thing makes it a non-starter for me. The only software that worked for gapless was Spotify connect but that doesn't help me listen to all of my live music. Even Google Music doesn't do gapless on their own device! I've rambled enough but I just want to thank you for all of your plugins and work that you have put in to keeping our beloved system relevant. Hopefully others with similar skills will continue to step up and keep the music flowing for many years to come in spite of Logitech's efforts to ruin our fun.
