Sorry for the slow response, I was overseas and wasn't checking postings. Could you please enable -d_plugin debugging and post your debugging output so I can see what's going on? Also, what kind of system are you running on (Winblows, Linux, MAC, etc)? Regarding your question of how the file type stuff works, I'd recommend posting a separate post with that question and you'll probably get some good responses. How the whole process works is grey to me as I've seen some pretty random behavior based on some of the debugging posts people have sent regarding the Sirius plugin... -Greg -- GoCubs ------------------------------------------------------------------------ GoCubs's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=312 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29989 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
