I was wondering if it's possible to implement a scanning status display somewhere in the web UI? Say when you refresh a browse page it might display "SlimServer is still scanning your library: 242 albums with 2752 tracks by 135 artists scanned so far". Or maybe it's only displayed on the Server Settings page in the Rescan Music Library section. Doesn't matter, just so you can guage the scanning progress. Most people have a rough idea of the number of albums or tracks in their collection, so it wouldn't have to be presented as "N of M items scanned" to be useful.
I seem to recall that under Browse Artwork, before the change to using the alphapagebar, that it would display something like "1-50 of 121" items, which would give you some indication of the scanning progress. I think it would also be helpful to see a total scan time displayed somewhere, so that you have an idea of the total time it's going to require the next time. Maybe on the Server Settings page display the time of the most recent scan. Also, I'm surprised there isn't a basic, high level log kept that can be viewed in the web UI. Something that would log only "major" server events: SlimServer startups (showing version number) and shutdowns, library scans, firmware updates, would be very useful. Maybe also log configuration errors or warnings, like "SQLite database not found - rebuilding". Most casual users have no need or desire to do the detailed logging available through the SlimServer debugging facilities. Anyone agree/disagree? -- JJZolx Jim _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
