SLX is running in the background and has the exclamation mark on the tray icon. When the window is visible it has the Settings page open with the Server not responding msg. Thinking about this a little, why does it go to the Settings screen after server timeout? If it just had the previously active library screen that would be fine as it should just reconnect on any actions?
Otherwise I guess an intermittent retry after 8 mins would do it, but would this keep sending WOLs? This might not be good for folks who want the server to sleep without having to close down SLX if it's not playing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mr-b's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10044 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108550 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
