Will do. But expect patchy responses as I have some family matters to
deal with over the next few weeks.

I'll load it onto one of my Radios. Certainly worth checking.

I have Squeezeplay 7.8.0 running without ogg/flac (i.e. on the 7.7.3
r16676 binaries) on one of my Radios. Needs a 'hack' to -Jive.lua- to
report itself to LMS as -7.8.0 r_whatever- because the version is baked
into the jive binary, and one or two (I think) of the 7.7.3 -> 7.8.0
patches need this to work. (-Update context-menu styles to use icons for
playlist control actions.- and -Task B0020: Player control over UDP-).
I'd be surprised if the lua enhancements were the cause of higher cpu
usage, but I haven't checked. I'll try and look at that. 

One point: I think it advisable that you merge the 7.7 tree into 7.8 to
catch that last "baby only" patch, if you haven't already. (-Baby only -
ignore firmware older than SR to SB migration firmware (7.7.3 r16667)-).
I suspect that it is there to prevent a "converted to LMS Smart Radio"
from inadvertently downgrading to an earlier firmware that doesn't
recognize the Smart Radio hardware (revision 8 ?).


Should this subject be moved to another thread ?
