I'd like to thank: Erland for Trackstat Customscan cparker for Spicefly Sugarcube bluegaspode for Squeezepad, and most importantly the local playback possibility. (No slight intended towards pippin, I just liked the presentation better than iPeng, so I bought Squeezepad) A big thank you should IMO also go to the developers at Logitech who keep trying to put out a server software taking into account all of our (sometimes quite borderline) remarks :) -- bakker_be http://www.last.fm/user/Bakker_be Main System: Touch; Marantz SR-5004; ' TMA Premium 905' (http://tmaaudio.com/premium905.html); BK Monolith+ FF; HDI Dune Smart D1; Pioneer PDP-LX5090H iPad 32GB Wifi + Squeezepad (local playback activated) bakker_be's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=30369 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89528 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Thanks for supporting third party developers!
In this chaotic time with the somewhat unexpected 7.6.0 release and a lot of negative comments in the forum, I would like to take the time to send a big Thank you to everyone that supports all third party developers through donations, feedback, help with beta testing or just help other users who have problem with a plugin. Even though most of the third party developers don't this for the money, it's really nice to get a donation or just getting positive feedback through some nice words from people who like what you've done and appreciate all your efforts. I know through personal experience that small things like this will encourage the developers to continue doing third party development for the Squeezebox system. In my Squeezebox setup third party plugins, applets and apps have a very central place, and I'm sure I'm not alone, I can't even begin to think how the system would work without all the third party stuff I use. I've developed some myself but I'm also using a lot of plugins/applets/apps from other third party developers. I also know how much work it can be to maintain already developed plugin and just support users who have problems with them. I think most of my plugins have started with something I wanted myself but these days I often spend more time supporting other people using them than actually using the plugins in my own setup. So when something doesn't work in your setup, especially after the 7.6 release which we didn't expect to be released yet, remember that all the third party developers do this on their spare time for free. So try to encourage them in the way you can and help them beta test the plugins/applets instead of only complaining when a plugin doesn't work with 7.6 or the developer doesn't seem to take the time fix the problem as fast as you would like. Besides thanking everyone who supports us developers I also want to send an even bigger Thank you to all the third party developers who have made my Squeezebox setup what it is today. There are so many of them, so I'm going to limit myself to the ones who have developed plugins I use in my own setup, they are mentioned below in no specific order: - *mherger* - I really love your MusicInfoSCR and Biography plugins - *peterw* - I love what your Context Menu plugin have done for my setup and the Kitchen Timer plugin is so wonderful on my Boom in the kitchen. Even though I have TrackStat with similar functionallity I really love your PlayLog plugin and let's not forget about SaverSwitcher which really revolutionized the screen usage on my Classic in the living room. - *Triode* - Your Spotify and YouTube plugins talks for them self, these are plugins that haven't just improved my setup they have even changed the way I discover and find new music. - *cparker* - The excellent way SugarCube is able to take advantage of MusicIP and turn it into never ending interesting playlists is so nice. - *GoCubs* - I really love SuperDateTime and the way it's able to provide weather information to my Squeezeboxes - *hickinbottoms* - Your Lazy Search made it possible to search via IR remote, without it I wouldn't use the search features of Squeezebox Server. - *Philip Meyer* - I love your Playlist Manager plugin which makes it possible to put tracks into different playlists to actually do some simple playlist management directly on the Squeezebox. - *pippin* - iPeng and iPeng for iPad really revolutionized the way I browse my library, I don't even remember how I used the system before them, they are soo great. - *bluegaspode* - Besides SqueezePad, which I love, I'd also like to thank your for indirectly making pippin's iPeng better :-) The competition between SqueezePad and iPeng has really moved all iOS apps to a completely new level. I'm not using SqueezePlayer for Android myself since I don't currenly have an Android device, but it's astonishing to see how it suddenly makes it possible to turn more or less any Android based device into a Squeezebox. - *rtitmuss* - Even though I don't think you are currently maintaining Soft Squeeze I believe you were the original developer, so a big thank you for that, it has helped all plugin developers so much when developing new plugins and also made it possible for new users to get a real demo of the system before purchasing it. - *bpa* - Thanks for taking over the maintenance of Soft Squeeze, it's really making my own plugin development so much easier. - *kdf* - Even though I'm personally not using any of your plugins, I'd like to send a big Thank You especially to you because I know we wouldn't be here without all efforts you have spent helping both Logitech, third party developers and end users. - *agillis* - Thanks for brining a pre-configured Squeezebox Server hardware to us in the form of VortexBox, I really love it. - *truehl* - Thanks for bringing SqueezePlug distribution to us which made it possible to run a Squeezebox Server on the low power Sheevaplug hardware with decent performance instead

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Thanks for supporting third party developers!
Most of the plugins I use are Erland's, and I use them all the time. I really do appreciate the work people like him put in, especially with the apparently unannounced release of the flaky 7.6.0. I have time on my hands, so I can play around with stuff, and don't get too excited when things don't work first time. I also use the forum, and found Erland's vital commentary on issues with 7.6.0 in time to make use of the information. However, I am very concerned that most 'normal' users (i.e. people who expect stuff to work when they plug it in) will have been put off by 7.6 (whether they use 3rd party plugins or not) and will quickly move to other more stable and reliable kit. The Logitech Squeezebox could be on a slippery downward slope if they are not careful, which would be a great shame. I'll help with beta testing if asked (PM if needed), provided it doesn't mean rescanning my library too often (my custom scan is around 2 hours at present and I don't want to do that too often, being someone who turns their PC off at night). My set-up is a 64 bit Windows 7 PC with wired Touch, all on latest 7.6.1 as of this morning. -- PasTim PasTim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41642 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89528 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Thanks for supporting third party developers!
In addition to the thanks expressed here, I hope others also do as I do and contribute $$ to the developers of the 3rd party applications that they appreciate.
