Right now the up and down buttons are used to navigate the playlist. To me that's a much more important core feature than scanning the track. The best way that I can figure to integrate the song-scanner plugin would be if it were available as an option when you press "right" from the currently playing track. But it's been mentioned in the past that there's no hook for plugins to make themselves available to that menu. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
