hi all- I wanted to update the beta community on the state of "Party Mode", particularly in what to expect for 7.3.
The feature is described in detail on the wiki: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/PlaylistModePartyMode current status: * Party Mode is currently split into two modes: Playlist Mode and Party Mode * The default behavior in 7.3 is 'disabled', which means that unless you turn disabled off, you will see no change in UI behavior. * Party Mode/Playlist Mode will be in the released 7.3 SqueezeCenter, but should be considered a beta quality feature (and will be marked in the UI as such). This feature still has a ways to go before in final form. Some significant redesigns are possible if not probable. There are many unresolved issues. http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/PlaylistModePartyMode#Notes_and_Unresolved_Issues However, the basic support is there, and as this is a highly requested feature (actually, the most voted for bug ever opened in our database), it's time for it to get a larger set of eyes on it. I'd like to extend a full invitation for comments and criticisms. FWIW, it is *much* harder for me to track issues raised in forum threads versus in bugs. Forum threads vanish into the ether, but bugs buzz in my ear until they are addressed. It's up to you, but if there's something you really care about getting fixed/added, I'd encourage you to open a bug on it at http://bugs.slimdevices.com, making sure to cc: bklaas at slimdevices dot com. FYI, the existing Party Mode bug is 8878 http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8878 and just for completeness, some links to voluminous background reading: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47592&highlight=party+mode http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55135 cheers, #!/ben -- bklaas Logitech Developer: Squeezeplay/SqueezeOS/SqueezeboxController/SqueezeCenter Community Developer: Nokia770Skin http://www.last.fm/user/bklaas/ 'KHAAAN!'
