I've been running these Plug-Ins for a couple of days and really enjoy them. Thanks for creating them. Below are a couple of suggestions for improvements.
1. When using the Album Review for Albums that have names that are pretty generic (e.g. Live, Greatest Hits, Detour Ahead) it returns a list of possible matches, but it doesn't seem like the interface has used the artist to try to get a direct hit (Biography comes up OK so it is recognizing artist). From the returned list there is usually the album I was playing. Any way to get the list pre-qualified with the Artist? 2. I'm using the refresh interval to automatically move to the next album, but it causes screen flashes which makes reading it difficult. The ultimate behavior would be to automatically refresh the Album/Biography data when the song changes. The WebLogger plugin updates it's data when a new song comes up automatically without a polling period - any way to do this automatically for Album/Biography? 3. Interface. I use these plug-ins predominantly from my PC as I'd go crazy trying to read the volume of information on the SqueezeBoxes's screen -- besides, the links are great to get to AMG for song reviews. My ideal would be to have these plug-ins work as one and actually get combined with the Song Info (I've got the song lyrics there.) The interface would be similar to the submenu that the Server Settings uses on the Fishbone UI -- there is a submenu at the top of the left hand pane that would have options for Artist Biography, Discography (wishful addition), Album Review, and Song Info. You could then select one just as you do a submenu on the Server Settings. This would allow you to go from high-level information on the left to the details on the right. I wouldn't be surprised if it would take some coordination with the SlimDevice folks since it deals with the Song Info, but I think its the way the UI shoud really be. 4. Any way to get the Artist name to be a link to AMG and the Album title to be a link to AMG? 5. I have a few albums where the Album Review doesn't come up yet I can see it on the AMG site (e.g American Beauty by the Grateful Dead -- http://tinyurl.com/zuuca) Biography 1.6, Album Review 1.3 SlimServer Version: 6.2.1 - 5194 - Windows XP - EN - cp1252 -- rbergquist ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rbergquist's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4729 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22453 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
