The lower part shows the statistic you select and it didn't make any sense to show just a song so it felt better to show the whole album, the song you have selected should be marked with "<--".
The ideal would be to show current playlist but the problem is that I have no way to differ between the TS buttons in the current playlist windows and TS buttons in other track listings. At least this was the case earlier, but I'll take look again and see if there has been any changes that now makes this possible.

This doesn't make much sense in short list but it does make sense for example for "Not Rated Songs" and the list only shows 25 songs but you have 2000 unrated songs in your library. The ideas was that in this case you don't want to see the same albums every time. I suppose one idea might be to let the refresh return the same list but have a separate "reshuffle" button (or similar) that returns new tracks. This might actually make it less confusing when you rate a track and it jumps around in the list just because setting rating also means that the list is refreshed.

If I remember correctly I look at the track length and tell the page to refresh in 60 seconds or less if there are less than 60 seconds remaining for the currently playing track. Buffering probably cause the refresh to happen less often. The real reason I don't want to make the refresh more often is that it is pretty heavy for some statistics. I think there are two solutions to this: 1. I could separate the "now playing" part from the "browsing" part in different pages where only the "now playing" part would be refreshed. This is already the case in the iPeng iPhone/iPod skin. The "now playing" part of the TrackStat page isn't heavy and could easily be refreshed once per second. 2. I could implement some caching so new statistics isn't retrieved when refreshing and instead have a separate "refresh" button that actually retrieves new statistics. In this case a refresh would result in exactly the same list as before without reshuffle in the way you are currently seeing. Do you think it is important to see both "now playing" information and the "browsing" part on the same page or would it be enough if there was a link to go between them ?

I really appreciate feedback like this, because it's hard to see all these things when you are in the middle of the implementation. The thing at the moment is just that I would really like to re-write most of the statistic browsing code since it's a bit messy at the moment, so until this is done I think I would prefer to not make a lot of small adjustments. The re-write is still at the idea state, I haven't started any real work yet, the problem is to actually get the time to do it... -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.homeip.net) 'My download page' (http://erland.homeip.net/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.homeip.net/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49886 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
