It doesn't have to take care of all corner cases, it just have to satisfy the users that isn't satisfied with the stability of the standard one. Some users would have to choose, either use the standard one to get features or use the third party one to get stability.
Building one that is as flexible as the standard one definitely needs a lot of work, I was just thinking that a simple one might satisfy a lot of users who are happy just waking up the correct time. Everything could be stored locally on a simple one, no need to synchronize settings with MySB or any SBS instance. It would just use SBS or MySB to play the alarm sound and use a fallback file on the local file system. We could even only support the fallback file and offer the user an option in the alarm popup to easily turn off the alarm and start playing one of his presets/favorites. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info) (Install my plugins through Extension Downloader) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library, Title Switcher and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.isaksson.info/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77883 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
