Thanks for reporting, looks like Michael(mherger) missed to update
maxTarget to 8.* when he added my other plugins to the unsupported
repository. He will likely fix it when he sees this post. If it isnt
fixed in near future we just need to contact him and make him aware of
the error.

I guess you are talking about the user interface on the device itself ?
If so, you are correct, the TrackStat menu would only be available if
the device is connected to LMS. A player connected to mysqueezebox.com
wouldnt show any third party plugin menus.
In the LMS web interface the menu would be available even if no player
is connected to LMS, unless Im missing something.

Right now the advantages would be that Ratings Light is actively
supported, on longer terms the advantages would be that you have a
chance to get new functionality. My plugins have a pretty large code
base so it would be a high (pretty boring) threshold for someone else to
understand them good enough to be able to add new functionality. Just
fixing bugs would probably be feasible but thats likely not going to be
interesting for someone to spend time doing for free on longer terms.
