Sorry for the long delay on the reply. Ah, the Joggler...I actually tried to get a hold of one because the form factor looked so compelling, but the things were so hard to get a hold of I gave up. Watched the YouTube video, it looks fantastic (with time and gear I'd provide some updates to make that Now Playing screen fill that big screen with the layout it deserves) Didn't realize you were on a touch platform, so I went and tested on a SB Touch with current 7.6 firmware, and touch-hold of My Apps items does work properly. Thought about this a bit more, and realized this particular feature for My Apps also requires you to be running 7.6 Squeezebox Server. What Squeezebox Server are you running? Why 7.6 SBS is necessary for My Apps to the home menu-- in 7.5 and before, all the items in My Apps were delivered from the server with a single cli command to the server. This means the resulting menu in My Apps is what we call a SlimBrowse menu, rather than a SlimMenus menu. SlimBrowse menus are for deeper drilled menus, like e.g. My Music->Artists. They are created with a single cli call to the server (e.g., '00:02:03:AB:13:91 0 100 artists') By contrast, SlimMenus items are delivered from the server individually, and include all items under Settings, the top level menu items under My Music and Internet Radio, and all Home Menu items. With 7.6 this also includes the My Apps items. While I'd like it if 100% of all the items in the entire UI could be added to the home menu (e.g., for giving me one touch access to my Justin Bieber Greatest Hits Album), only SlimMenu items have the code to do the customize-to-home feature. I made server-side changes to transform My Apps into individual SlimMenu style items, as delivering this feature without being able to put e.g. Pandora to the home menu made no sense. Hope that helped, and after going into that lengthy SBS explanation, hope I was right about your problem. cheers, #!/ben p.s. just kidding about the Bieber album -- bklaas Logitech Developer: Squeezeplay/SqueezeOS/SqueezeboxController/SqueezeCenter Community Developer: Nokia770Skin http://www.last.fm/user/bklaas/ 'KHAAAN!'
