But yes. Most things work in landscape mode now. You can bring down the player control, you can select players...

It's still not enough room for the whole title, though (only half of what's required). Also, you are very wrong about it being useless: > > hardware volume buttons > Except for iPeng as a player, these can go away any moment! It's a feature completely forbidden by Apple. It works because I bind it to the volume of the device itself which is not actually redefining the functionality but Apple might still change their mind on it at any time! So better not to talk about it too much, especially not advertise it... That aside: it's not nearly exact enough. It only changes volume in steps of +/- 5 (if used with iPeng Playback it's even +/- 10 because that's what iOS does). At low volumes that's definitely not fine enough, at least with good headphones, here I frequently even use the "1" volume level. The same is true for a lot of docks or external amps connected to the Squeezeboxes that have a non-linear scale and need very fine volume tuning. Actually I found that for some reason most people don't use the volume buttons at all. > > volume buttons on headphones > Not on all headphones, same problem > > volume buttons on speaker dock > volume knob/buttons on amplifier > Sorry, iPeng is a REMOTE CONTROL. Walking up to a device to change the volume is a most definite no-go. > > I'd also love to see the YEAR of the album displayed. > Hm. Might think about that one. Did anybody ever file a ticket for this? It was asked for for the album display (the content of an album) and it's showing there now. > > Does this new version of iPeng preserve one's customized menu along the > bottom? Even when iPeng doesn't connect to the server right away? It always did. It just changes while you are not connected (it can't show empty tabs) and changes back to what you configured when you reconnect to the server unless you make manual changes in which case iPeng can't know you didn't mean it. I always use iPeng with 3 or 4 different servers and it always comes back to my manually configured setup that's only available on my main server when I connect, this actually works very well. I know that because I have a menu on there (Audiobooks) that's a CustomBrowse menu and only available on that server. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96679 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
