OK, Thanks ! --- My Thoughts.... I was in the Software Business for over 30 years, so I am familiar with software releases etc. --- The people I help mostly just want to push a button and play music.... Ideally, the fewer buttons to install a given release is better.... I have been a user of PiCorePlayer/LMS for over 10 years now. The release packaging of PiCorePlayer is not obvious to me, and the people that I help are pretty much clueless and gravitate to a Volumio solution at the first sight of a problem... Not sure what your objectives are in terms of getting new users running PcP..... But ideally, a PcP Release such as 8.1.0 would have everything included when you downloaded it, patches and all... --- Yes it is more work to patch a couple releases with Bug Fixes. (Not development). And having just 1 or 2 releases on your download page should be plenty... I don't think you would want people going back 3 or 4 releases to install PcP, so I'm not sure why they are there.... We used to drop support of our Software Releases on a Regular Basis to limit the amount of Patches. And I think, the way you have things structured is that; No matter which version of PcP you download, you get the same version of LMS? - Correct? -- This is confusing to me. It would seem that you would want to package LMS with the Player portion of PcP...... But at any rate, I love the features of PcP and encourage all of the new people I install to donate to your efforts.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cut-Throat's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=43167 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116212 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
