Felix, I downloaded SlimCenter yeterday evening and naturally your updated IR plugin immediately after. :) It still works like a charm and tickles me every time. I have been suppressing for many months an urge to give you one of those annoying "feature suggestions", and can't hold back any longer. Easy to use and powerful as the plugin already is, I would love to be able to have it add a new submenu on my SB2/SB3 (and on the newly announced products in the future). The submenu would show a list of ir commands/command sequences that I could choose to have the SB send out at any time. The items on the list might be addressible as Favorites as well. In this way, users like me would be empowered to do things like hiding my receiver and putting away its remote control and still be able to not only turn it on and off and adjust its volume, but also: - define a menu item accessible on the SB that would say "switch receiver to radio" that, when selected, would send the IR command to have the receiver switch inputs to FM and perhaps change the station to a particular preset (one would also of course define a correponding "switch receiver to squeezebox") - define menu items accessible on the SB that would say "switch to preset X" that, when selected, would send the IR command to have the receiver switch to various radio presets -do other useful things via IR whenever I feel like it :) On an even more annoying-pie-in-sky-guy note, ultimate flexibility in using SC to automate home-listening-related things might be achieved by generalizing the user's ability to define a sequence of commands and delays to allow both sending ir commands and executing things on the computer (ala the ExecuteScript plugin). That might allow one to do things like: - have the squeezebox trigger the sending of an http command to power on/off one's wonderful old non-ir amp that happens to be sitting in a closet that sports ethernet-and-speaker-wires using one of these: http://cgi.ebay.com/IP-Network-Ethernet-Reboot-Remote-AC-Power-Controller_W0QQitemZ260201436964QQihZ016QQcategoryZ86723QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD4VQQcmdZViewItem?_trksid=p1638.m124#ebayphotohosting - complete the circle of being able to configure about anything anyone might want to in association with enjoying music at home! And Slimdevices brand loyalty for life would be the inevitable result since one's house might not operate without SqueezeCenter for those who have too much fun with this plugin. :) Selfishly, I will admit that in combination, these would allow me to achieve my goal of having a squeezebox and a pair of speakers in every room, and nothing more, without losing the ability to listen to the radio and without having to buy anything but that networked power strip. *shrugs sheepishly* Any thoughts will be appreciated. Mocking laughter will be grudgingly but respectfully accepted.
