Ok, have been playing some more with Moose. Here follows a long list of thoughts and suggestions, which you are free to take on board or not as you see fit, I am very impressed with the work so far in any case, these are just a few things that might improve the experience a bit.
I am browsing by files, not sql at this stage, as I can't get access to the SQL file on the readyNAS side of things (have requested over there that they offer that and they seem to be amenable to the idea). First found a bug - I can't add a José González album via the moose interface but can via the slim web interface & squeezebox. However once I do so, it then appears fine on the Moose interface. I suspect this is a funny chars in file names issue, let me know what I can do to help you solve it. I definitely think a tray interface would be great - pause, volume, skip would be essentials I think, plus a mouse over current track or a fading pop up thingy when the track changes. A display somewhere of the current replaygain value would be great too, help diagnose those tracks missing info issues that crop up occasionally. I really miss the New Music display from slimserver. I do think a combined library/now playing list single screen approach might work, or at least separate task bar entries for each window would really aid swapping between them. Right click functionalities would be great where appropriate. The control icons in the bottom right of Now Playing could be bigger. I don't get the thumbs in the album list either but then I generally only have cover.jpg in there, not thumbs. Maybe somethign that scales the cover.jpg if thumb.jpg is missing would be good? Some streamlining in the way the playlist is sent back to the server to reduce a bit of lag and flicker might not go astray if possible. Again, thanks for your work and these are just ideas/suggestions!
