Hi All

Well, it's been a long time coming / planning but I'm nearly there. 

My Meedio Plugin (http://www.meedio.com) is nearing completion and I'd
like a little feedback (from those who are interested) in what they'd
like to see in the finished version.

The plugin is still pretty basic at the moment in that it allows you to
: 

1. Choose a player to control 
2. Choose albums / tracks 
3. Choose artists / albums / tracks 

err.. and that's about it (at least, that's all I want it for) 

One exciting thing about this plugin is the speed - it's *very* fast
(compared to the sloth-like web interface for SlimServer - at least it
is on my mini-itx box ;-)

It works against the back end database of SlimServer itself (not using
the CLI / Web interface), with none of the 'pauses' that you get using
the SlimServer web-ui. (The CLI is used for certain calls / playing
songs etc)

There's a few screen shots linked below :

(sorry for the small size / resolution - these files were huge! 
and ignore the horrible background image, I was just 'playing' - the
final version will use whatever images you setup in Meedio for your
theme).

Now, I'd like a little feedback as I get close to finishing this
project - is there anything people would like to see in this ? 

There's an option to search / browse by Genre and of course, it'll need
a 'search' facility (artist / album / track etc), but I was wondering if
anybody needed / wanted anything else ? 

I'm writing this for myself mainly (I have a squeezebox2 and the sound
quality just blows away the FMOD / BASS interface from meedio - hence
the reason for writing this in the first place). 

One idea I've been toying with is running an external program / script
on the startup / shutdown of the module (I'll be using it with HIP to
blast IR codes to switch my AMP into SqueezeBox mode ) 

Let me know what you think 

Cheers

Chris
