I gotta love the quick response to feature requests.  Thanks for making
this Slim stuff so fun!

I have to admit, though, I'm a bit confused by the new version.  I can'
seem to figure out when the new header is updated.  When I scan to the
end, it just stops, and if I wait for a song change nothing happens
either, as you say.  Furthermore, often the bottom scan indicator is
out of synch with the header at the top.  Only when I let music play
for awhile do things seem to sort themselves out.    

I guess my main question is why this plugin is even necessary.  Right
now I have my screensaver set to progress bar when music is playing. 
Why couldn't the up/down buttons on the remote just use that for
real-time scanning, while also showing the progress through the song? 
This would make it operate like, say, Windows media player where you
just slide the bar to wherever in the song you want.  Since we only
have buttons on a remote, with no mouse to select an arbitrary point,
the method you use for scanning (progressively faster as you hold it
down) would work fine.  I could care less about audio feedback; I just
want to go quickly to a particular spot.

As an aside, can anyone shed any light on why the stock Slimserver
scanning seems so primitive?
