Notifications. The notifications are triggered by receiving a "playlist newsong" message from the server. That message contains an ID for the player and if that ID matches the player currently selected in the browser, then the software will trigger a notification immediately. I can't control when that message arrives, though. Volume +/-. Do you mean add Vol+ and Vol- as Tray Menu commands? I could easily do this. Volume is tricky because you have your computer's volume and you have the player volume. Right now, SLX does not mess with computer volume and I would like to keep it that way. So, if I am understanding what you are asking, you'd like to see an option to add Vol+ or Vol- to the Tray menu, or you might want volume buttons in the taskbar thumb view. I think space might be two tight to add two extra buttons to taskbar thumb view, but I'll play with the idea. Telnet. Yes. Logitech Media Server has a Telnet interface that allows SLX to asynchronously listen to everything the server does. SLX relies on this to know when various events happen, like a new song is played, a player does something or is powered on/off, a player gets renamed from somewhere else, etc. LMS also has a Json interface, that allows SLX to issue commands and get results in a synchronous manner. SLX uses this interface also for certain things depending on what is most convenient from a programming perspective.
