Well - it works good enough with server 7.4 + 7.5. And as Squeezebox server is deterministic in all menus that access the database, what's so wrong to expect that the same command always returns the same results (at least under My Music where it uses the database).

But if the user experience then fails due to long loading times of menus that are used over and over again then one has to do compromises. > If you want to implement the model in the client I don't want to implement a model in the client, I'm using 100% SqueezePlay menus. But those menus that have long loading times and don't change until the next scan just need to be cached and therefore I need to - parse the commands to identify cachable menus - create a unique key for that particular menu. -- bluegaspode Big Screen for great Boxes available now at your AppStore: *'Squeezebox + iPad = SqueezePad ' (www.squeezepad.com)* - -now featuring streaming to iPad!- Want to see a Weather Forecast on your Radio/Touch/Controller ? => why not try my 'Weather Forecast Applet' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73827) Want to use the Headphones with your Controller ? => why not try my 'Headphone Switcher Applet' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67139) Setup: 1x SB-Controller+Receiver (Duet), 1xSB-Boom. 2xSB-Radio Server (7.5.x) running on SheevaPlug (Ubuntu) with attached Western Digital MyBook Essential. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bluegaspode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31651 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85895 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
