I'm guessing it would be possible, but maybe not easy, to implement them completely in lua. However, if a perl version without web interface configuration support would work as good it feels like a better solution.
Other plugins like some of mine really requires the web interface to make it "easy/possible" for the user to configure them, so these are probably not a good candidate to run on TinySC. I think you really need to decide why TinySC won't support plugins. If it just about avoiding support issues from users trying to install things that require the web interface that could be easily solved by only making it possible to install plugins which the third party developer has specified works with TinySC. To do this we just need to add something to the plugin repositories xml file that indicates if a plugin works with TinySC or not. If it's a resource issue where a perl plugin always takes up a lot more resources than a lua applet with similar functionality I understand that you might want to completely forbid plugins in TinySC (besides maybe manually installed through ssh). -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info) (Install my plugins through Extension Downloader) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library, Title Switcher and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.isaksson.info/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67428 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
