It seems crazy to me that this is has not been taken up by Slim as the default 'Now Playing' feature of Squeezebox.
Policy is imho to have core functionality built into the server, and offer room (APIs) for extension for third party programmers. I couldn't have done this new version without changes Triode did and published within the display code.
My understanding is that this is a screensaver only (ie you have to wait for the screensaver to cut in before this information is viewable).
The name now is slightly misleading: it isn't a screensaver only any more. I might rename it for v3.0.
I like to hit the 'Now Playing' button when I'm ready for it and it would be great if Michael's information was available at that point.
That's what this new version is mostly about: there's the "Now Playing" mode which can be configured the way you want.
Thanks for the feedback, -- Michael ----------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.herger.net/SlimCD - your SlimServer on a CD http://www.herger.net/slim - AlbumReview, Biography, MusicInfoSCR _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
