If the player says Connected: 0 it's not connected. When a player is Connected even with nothing in the playlist it will show 1. I've submitted a new version with a buffering indicator that will help clue users into that. Push Squeeze on the player, then add some items to its list. When it's first registered it will be empty. Let me know if that doesn't do it for you. One of the challenges I had is when Squeeze Center was made no one probably ever thought about mobile 3G devices connecting to it (did those exist then?). Squeeze Center registers devices by IP address or MAC. We can't easily programatically get the MAC and the IP address itself could possibly be different every single time you get on the 3G network so I didn't really see a way around having to pick your player as it is now. I'm thinking about writing a plugin (trying to avoid extra pieces) that will tell the player what Squeeze Center says it is. I did skimp out on the automatic server selection. 99% of the time I connect I'm not in my house or on the same network so auto discovery wouldn't work. I did realize however that I should have support for multiple servers as the IP I'm using while inside the house is not the same as when I'm outside and it's annoying to have to change it so I'm going to move those things out of the Settings Application and make a seperate view for adding servers manually or auto discovered ones under More. -- jtpowell ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jtpowell's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31597 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=66723 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
