FWIW, my SettingsManager plugin allows you to save collections of per-player settings, copy them to other players, and save "local default" and "web default" collections of per-player settings, which could help here. For instance, you could tweak the settings (including bandwidth/bitrate limiting) for a local softsqueeze player, save those settings as the Local Default settings, and anytime your SC7 sees a new Softsqueeze "hardware"/SlimProto player (vs. HTTP-only /stream.mp3 client), it would apply those settings. Do the same for a local WinAmp client & the Web Default settings collection, and any new outsider should inherit pretty usable settings. Anybody whose player was already recognized and had access to your web UI could manually apply the default settings to their player. plugin info: http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SettingsManager.html demo of the web UI: http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/playlog-demo/control.html Mark, you're rather optimistic! Between numeric setting values, text settings where it isn't obvious what the choices are, and interdependencies between settings, you should be careful editing prefs files or issuing prefset CLI commands! (That's why SettingsManager only provides a means for copying settings, not changing them to arbitrary values.) -- peterw http://www.tux.org/~peterw/ free plugins: http://www.tux.org/~peterw/#slim AllQuiet BlankSaver ContextMenu FuzzyTime KitchenTimer PlayLog PowerCenter/BottleRocket SaverSwitcher SettingsManager SleepFade StatusFirst SyncOptions VolumeLock ------------------------------------------------------------------------ peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53612 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
