A first beta version of the Album Flow applet and screensaver for Squeezebox Controller/Touch/Radio is now ready for usage. It uses similar principle as Apple Cover Flow on iPod or Mac to scroll through all your albums.
See the following wiki page for more information: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Album_Flow_applet NOTE! SINCE THIS IS A BETA VERSION IT'S ONLY AVAILABLE IN MY TESTING REPOSITORY SO YOU NEED TO SETUP THIS MANUALLY: Code: -------------------- http://erlandplugins.googlecode.com/svn/repository/trunk/testing.xml -------------------- It's installed by going to "Settings/Advanced/Applet Installer" on the Touch, Radio or Controller. In the Applet Installer you will find a "Album Flow" applet which you need to install. To use it you either enter "My Music/Album Flow" or activate it as a screen saver under the Settings menu on your Touch/Radio/Controller. Please note that at the moment the "My Music" menu is only supported on Controller and Radio (I haven't got the touch input to work yet, so Squeezebox Touch only supports screen saver mode). There are still a lot of things left before I like to consider this finished, for example: - Support for context menus - Support for shown tracks on an album (currently the browse view only supports to click play to start to play an album) - Support for browsing using a Squeezebox Touch - Improve the zooming/scrolling so it's perspective correct - Improve performance, browsing is still a bit sluggish but screensaver looks pretty good. Some screen shots follows below, although they really don't do it justice. It's still a bit sluggish but still it looks a lot more impressive when it animates when used in reality. Of course this is still just a beta version so it doesn't look as nice as the Apple version yet.
