sorry. I guess I was misunderstanding your usage. I edited simply to update the duration shown on the first line when you move move the time index. If you wait for song change, and then adjust the time up or down, then the duration shoulw be updated with teh current song. Rolling over to the end doesn't trigger a skip. I am unsure how useful this would be vs how often it might get hit by mistake. Still, would be an interesting possible feature. > I guess my main question is why this plugin is even necessary.

The 1.4 version of the plugin is attached to one of teh bug reports related to scanning. However, there are just too many higher priorities that keep leaving it as something for later. > As an aside, can anyone shed any light on why the stock Slimserver > scanning seems so primitive? because it is actually fairly tricky to accomplish a solid fwd/rev san while holding the button. IR is notoriously flakey, and there are loads of audio formats and sources to handle, each with their own quirk. -k _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
