Since the web UI is the easiest place to set up (and, now that I understand the drag-and-drop in the new Default skin, rearrange the order), I think displaying the numbers in the web UI is useful, and therefore relevant. > I can't get half of my favorites to work through the hotkeys. Start filing some bugs. In SS 6.x and below, the Favorites acted like presets on a car radio, making it very easy to play favorite tracks, etc. If that's worse in SC7, file a bug. I've actually found SC7 better in at least one regard. With SS 6.x, I could not make a Favorite out of an album -- instead I saved a playlist and got to it through the Playlists menu. With SC7, I have an album set up as a Favorite and it works well. > Eg. my first favorite is "Radio Stations", which is a folder structure > of radio stations. if I press and hold 1, it can't play this favorite > (and I wouldn't really want it to play all radio stations!).

Associating the hotkey with putting you in some menu/INPUT.list screen sounds good to me. > I have a radio station within "Radio Stations" that I would like to make > accessible through a hotkey.

Start at the VFD Now Playing screen, right arrow, and up arrow to "Go right to add to favorites" -- that should work. Yes, you can use the web UI to move it up in the Favorites list. I think that's smart. You don't want adding a favorite to change the hotkey assignment of any existing Favorites. http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6929 > I think it may be a little frustrating that every time the order of > favorites changes, the hotkeys for all following favorites changes. > eg. delete favorite #1, and favorite #2 becomes #1, etc. See the ticket listed above -- http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6929 -- adding a new favorite should not change the assignments of existing favorites. If you've got a test case that's not working as it should, please file a bug. > It would be better if the hotkeys were configured through a separate > screen (eg. something like Settings > Advanced > Remote Hotkeys) where > any playable item can be chosen to associate with a number key, or have > a "hotkey number" property on each entry in the favorites screen where a > number can be chosen to associate with the selected favorite item. > > As an analogy, take a mobile phone.

Actually that does bring up a good point. If I have 5 favorites and delete the 3rd, it might be nice if, like my cell phone, that wouldn't affect favorites number 4 and 5.
