Hi 

Sorry if I wasn't clear: I was referring to getting Jivelite and
Squeezelite installed and basic navigation.  Once I had Gizmod reacting
to the powermate and sending commands, they were accepted by Jivelite.
So basic navigation was okay.  The now playing behaviour isn't standard
- it was added as I wanted to see if I could understand lua and also to
complete the powermate control: in my case the pi is headless so it made
sense to see if the powermate could be made to control the now playing
screen.  

So I added some code to the NowPlayingApplet  to listen for down and
then display a overlay that the allows scrolling through choices.  As it
listens for down, it also works if you're using a relevantly programmed
remote control and a IR receiver. 

Hope that makes sense. I can post the code if you want to see it. 
Thanks
San
