Quite right. My contribution in the other thread was: > > Have access through the web UI (password protected) for "fixing" the > playlist when someone has lined up 16 consecutive plays of The Birdy > Song. > > For extra credit, have configuration options in the plugin to allow the > use of the "play" (ie wipe playlist) button when you have a well-trained > (sober!) group visiting. > > For extra extra credit, hide all of the unnecessary menu options. > > Maybe even allow configuration settings to hide certain genres > completely (I know, I've probably gone too far here). > > Would the NoSetup plugin be a good place to start? > Discussion after that raised the question of whether this was best done with a skin or a plugin, which raises for me two quite different solutions for (a) remote users and (b) web interface users. Actually I suppose we should now make that three: (c) SBC users. An all singing, all dancing solution for all three interface models would be nice but isn't likely to appear any time soon. I prefer the pragmatic approach - lets see if we can put together something simple which caters for at least some people, and take it from there. Maybe take the IR remote and Web interface scenarios separately, as I think the solutions will be different. For the IR remote case, what would we miss if we just used the NoSetup plugin and an adapted keymap?
