hello and thanks for stepping forward - this is the food of the gods for some...
SC does have very limited functionality remaining with 6.5 - you can start and stop a song, you can skip a song i think. you can NO longer see the tracks that are playing and you can'y raise or lower the volume. Jonas (SC) says much more is broken then meets the eye.. here's his email response to me... "Actually, the functionality is a lot more broken than you think. You're seeing limited functionality as you'd previously used the controller with an olders version of Slimserver. The parts of the scripts that deal with player selection and such "hang" (because the web API that slimserver provides "hangs"). So a new user wouldn't get it to work at all. It is actually quite a lot of work to redo this. Probably two weeks or so of full-time work to completely replace (and test) what has been lost. Also, to say the scripts aren't open source is not quite true. They can be opened, inspected and modified by anyone. In fact, like I indicated in my last email, I'd encourage this. However, what SD recommends we use is a telnet-style API, and it'd be difficult to harness such a thing from AppleScript. The HTTP-based API previously offered is what's broken; not sure how much of it. It'd probably be easier for them to fix this than to change the controller scripts." so as you can see there more going on here - the email address to SC is [EMAIL PROTECTED] - jonas is very good at responding promptly.. i called SD today to ask a stupid question "are there plans to support wireless remote" and i'm sure you know the answer.. so thank you upfront for your time and assistance - and to be honest when i get home tonight i'm going to try the SD handheld interface (duh). -- Masterbaron ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Masterbaron's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=203 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28281 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
