Just tried out moose for the first time. I love it!
Good, good.. :-)
I do have a couple of questions: * Does clicking the X button (top right) do something different to Player -> Exit? I have found that when I click on X I cannot restart Moose and task manager reveals that Moose.exe is running (nothing visible though, including the system tray) and I have to kill the process before I can restart Moose. I am running Moose on Win XP and have slimserver 6.5 running on an ubuntu linux machine.
There is an issue here which I'm trying to sort out.. It's to do with the socket code sitting waiting for a reply from the server and not exiting properly.. Trouble is it only seems to do it very occasionally, and not at all when Im trying to debug it.. There are time-outs all over the place, but they dont seem to be being obeyed when shutting down. Should have it fixed soon hopefully.. As you say, killing the process is a workaround and shouldnt cause problems, but it's not ideal..
* Does the artwork get scanned constantly? I have had d_artwork on (following problems with accented filenames, see http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23304) and noticed that when moose is running, "Found cached thumb files..." entries are posted to the log file every second. Without moose running, I only get these messages about every 30 secs. Whether it matters or not, I don't know.
When a new song starts, the now playing window will ask for the current artwork every second or so until it gets an image. When it's got this image, it wont ask again until the next song. When you browse the library, things are somewhat more complex, but it should generally only ask the server for images if it needs to. I'll add d_artwork to my server settings - possibly something's changed somewhere since I wrote the code.. -- - Dr Lovegrove http://www.rusticrhino.com/drlovegrove _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
