Description Peter Watkins 2009-02-09 17:22:50 UTC

Customizing SC + fab4 will often mean installing an applet on the fab4. Currently users must use the SqueezePlay UI to "pull" applets from SC. This would be a real nuisance with a house full of fab4s, and also would be annoying if SC plugin updates required updated applets. There should be a way for SqueezeCenter to
 1) query what applets a SqueezePlay device has
 2) "push" an applet to a SqueezePlay device

Triode is thinking about this.

Moving to the product SqueezePlay because this bug appears to apply to any player based on that application code.  Feel free to move it back if it's specific to the original product.

This got deffered as I was assuming we would do the same thing for plugins and applets and set the policy on SN where the static apps are defined, but doing anything on SN seemed to go out of scope for 7.4?

We could add another web page on SC to define which applets should be installed on compatible players, but I think it need thinking through with any future developments of the SN app pages.
