[mythtv-users] MythSqueezeBox Plugin

[George Galt]

I've just started looking at Squeezeplay, but it is released under the
Logitech Public Source License which has a slew of restrictions and
probably makes it inappropriate for Myth development.
Softsqueeze/squeezeslave are open source under the GPL 2.0.  I don't
want to get into some flame war on licensing issues, but I'd have to
take a much closer look at the Logitech license before I worked off of
their code.

On the other hand, the Jive/Squeezeplay/SqueezeOS effort have opened
up a number of additional avenues into the Squeezecenter server,
including beefing up the CLI, so it may be that using the Logitech
code is not necessary.

FYI, for those that have downloaded the latest version, I realized
last night that I forgot to put in some scaling and clean-up code for
display of the cover art image.  I'll try to get that put in place
today or tomorrow.  In the meantime, the cover art image may look a
little funny.  Sorry.
