If you are talking about settings you have changed from a user interface that shouldn't be lost just because you make a firmware upgrade. adamslim;533041 Wrote: > > I can't get info from my custom tags onto its now playing screen, and > have to live with the way it scrolls (much too slow) and doesn't show > enough text. > Sounds like you may want to look at: - Custom Clock applet and it's helper plugin Custom Clock Helper -- Can show any title format, including custom tags scanned by the Custom Scan plugin -- See here for some samples of the possibilities: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Custom_Clock_styles -- See here for more information about it: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Custom_Clock_applet -- Or this thread in the 3rd party section: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68269 -- As with all my plugins/applets it's a little threshold until you have learned how configure it, but just ask questions in the 3rd party plugins section and we will get you over that threshold. -- Yes, I know the name "Custom Clock" is a bit confusing but it actually started as a simple clock applet which turned into something I hadn't imagined from the beginning. - The "Information Screen" applet/plugin combination may also be of some use but all it's functionality is soon going to be available in the Custom Clock applet. adamslim;533041 Wrote: > > I know, I understand that the new screens are prettier and hardly > anyone configures their stuff as much as I have, so this is probably a > good commercial move.
