...that I hope may be useful. I'm running Jan24 6.5... this is, however, the first time for a week or so I have been able to sit down with the unit and play with it, so some or even many of these items may already have been noted. 1. For some reason, when trying to browse artwork, the screen downloads about half the cover images and then crashes my 770. First the browser freezes and then the unit generally reboots (or needs one). Same thing happens whatever the sort order is for artwork: is there something in the page code upsetting it? Repeatable every time. 2. A 770 (not skin) curiousity: I have a username and password to access the server; pointing the Home Web Shortcut link at it looks very cool, but results in having to enter the username and pw, even though the URL is identical to the 'user:password@' one that works fine as a bookmark without having to enter the login manually. 3. As artwork thumbs download into the browser window (in Browse Artwork), the graphics placeholders open to the width of the alt text, which can be quite long, thus making a mess of the screen and making it difficult to select an album until all thumbnails have downloaded. I imagine there is no way around this, but I don't seem to remember it being a problem earlier... 4. Stylus slipped selecting the player from the pop-down on the Home page and maybe hit search - and suddenly I seem to be in Browse Genre... ?! 5. I assume I should be able to click on a search result and go to a detail page? I can't - eg I can't click an album name and go to the album page or click on an artist name and list their albums. 6. If I search for something and then want to choose a player to play a result on, I lose the result in selecting the player. 7. I have a blank line with a play and add button immediately under "all search results". Clicking "add" sends the device off to add what appears to be everything in the library! - from which it returns if you click something else. Oooops...! Indent on play/add "all search results" is less than other lines, incidentally. 8. In AlienBBC, the length of items in the list can be very short, so you have to be careful which play or add button you click. Leader dots between name and buttons would be nice. 9. On occasion (eg deep in AlienBBC) it would be nice to be able to back out one level without having to go all the way to the top or dropping out of full-screen and hitting the back button. 10. Long album names in the "Now playing" window push the window width out to the right: wrapping them would be helpful, if possible. 11. From home, clicked Artist; selected a letter; scrolled down to desired artist, clicked artist; on the next screen clicked an album title; on the next screen clicked Play on a track: crashed the 770 which rebooted. Didn't happen the following time though. Hope these help... --Richard E -- relen ------------------------------------------------------------------------ relen's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=30 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19369 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
