Kevin, what is the rational to require changing the manifest before a feature can be used ?
I noticed you did the same thing with mkv support even though we still can't use it except from USB.

Just guessing, but I'd imagine it lets the compiler know to include those libraries when it compiles the channel. Probably a resource allocation consideration... no need to consume the extra resources, if your channel doesn't need them.

Thanks for the update!

Set the URL to the audio file. Only file URL’s are initially supported.

Just confirming, but this means local file URL's, right? So external links to files on a server are currently unsupported.

Correct. Local files only.

We use the manifest entry to help in loading shared library files that let us better manage the limited memory on the device.
