How about an even simpler solution... long-press (about 1 second) on DSTM icon (the infinity symbol) switch to "repeat all" To get back to jsut dstm you then need to click repeat twice (one to go into "repeat single", then another to switch repeat off - which then shows the DSTM icon if DSTM has been set). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cpd73's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66686 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109624 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
