The entire user community seems bound and determined to confuse and obfuscate. There doesn't seem to be any reliable software other than the server software. What software there is, isn't documented very well, if at all, is out-of-date or both labeled "beta" and out-of-date, which really shouldn't be possible. Woefully out of-date documentation exists and is sometimes even updated for new versions without removing out-of-date information which leads to a mish-mash of new and old information together. And then there is the seemingly unending variations of Squeeze*, Slim*, Jive*, naming of resources. There needs to be one single source for all current Squeezebox related resources and user communities. All of the old stuff should be expunged or at least very clearly segregated and labeled as obsolete and outdated.
There seems to be no verification of third-party plug-ins for proper operation. A surprising number of which don't work or have been superseded by new (read duplicate) versions that aren't available unless you know what custom repository to add. Even worse, I'm willing to be to bet someone could put a third-party plug-in up that contains malware and we wouldn't know until it was too late. The Squeezeplay software doesn't work, plain and simple. The correct way to do it would be to make the release version of SqueezePlay supported and available from the same download location where users can download the server software. The client and entire plug-in system should be reworked from the ground up. Its a mess. The hardware, so far, has functioned well and maybe that says something about Logitech's ultimate goal. Their actions and my experiences so far might lead one to think they are actively discouraging any active user community or software tools. Logitech really needs to step it up. I'll be sending this message to their support as well. Sorry to hijack your thread BillLogi but I needed to get this off my chest too. -- mfaine ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mfaine's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=43709 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84840
