Oh dear, you dont wanna do that.. Welcome on board though.. ;-) > .NET 2.0 is a huge improvement. No impact on boot-up times and no > annoying 'ASP .NET' user. Yeah, I was quite suprised at the difference it seems to make.. The only downside is Im going to need a faster machine to speed up MS's new development environment.. Shiny but slow.. > And Moose?

Yes, currently it's a bit tucked away.. The original intention was to have a Now Playing window for each unit.. Then you could drag/drop playlists between them, etc.. I think a simple switcher - maybe just a submenu of players - might be the simplest/quickest solution in the short-term.. Hmmm, testing could be a problem here..

No big deal, but I thought there was a problem > when I first started it. 10-15 seconds seems pretty slow.. Which server version are you running ? With 6.5 nightlies and MySQL it takes roughly 2 seconds for Moose to appear and show the playlist and album-art on my machine here.. -- - Dr Lovegrove http://www.rusticrhino.com/drlovegrove _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
