I think it would be a good idea to dedicate the half of the screen to a Now Playing screen and the other half to a navigation/control screen. Possibly also a screen saver mode when it's placed in the docking station a a few meters away from where I'm sitting.
Things that would be nice when used as screen saver in the docking station: - Album art, large is good but I have a feeling it doesn't have to be a lot larger than it is on the touch. - Now playing information with larger font, artist, album, track. - YouTube video of currently playing track (only video, not audio) - Artist artwork, from LastFM or something similar. It's accessible through Custom Scan already today. - Big clock - Preferably the the possibility to select what "view" you like to show in different areas of the screen When I have it in the hand it would also be nice to from the Now Playing screen have access to: - Play, pause, stop, fwd/rew controls (and other things needed) - Easily access to presets/favorites - Biography/AlbumReview plugin information about currently playing artist/album - Lyrics - Shortcuts to configurable menus (similar to bottom toolbar on iPeng on iPhone) - Current playlist - Track details of currently playing track When navigating the library, we of course want things like: - Playlist creation with drag&drop - Information about currently browsed artist/album, compare with Custom Browse page headers in web UI - It feels like it might be good to use half the screen for navigation menus and the other half for artist/album information or possibly a Now Playing screen. If something isn't supported in SBS and you need JSON support and can't get Logitech to implement it, let us know. I'm getting more and more exited when I think about the possibilities, this is going to be great. Now, I'm just worried that I won't be able to get a a 3G version in Sweden until after the summer due to some stupid arrangements with 3G operators. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info) (Install my plugins through Extension Downloader) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library, Title Switcher and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.isaksson.info/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74581 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
