Try it out with a 'tracks' query.
If you use 'useContextMenu:1' you get the mapping go = "jiveplaytrackalbum" more = "contextmenu" [...] If you omit the parameter you get the mapping go = "trackinfo items" more = "trackinfo items" [...] So actually the device tells the server "I'm able to show context menus" (that why all SP-devices set this parameter) and the server then returns "Touch To Play" key mappings for the SP-devices. If you don't use this option, the server returns commands to show another submenu (and the user needs to press 'play' to make a songs start). Of course even without specifiing this options you are allowed to ask the server for a context menu anytime. That's why it's still working with iPeng but I guess you manually decide if a menuitem might have a context-menu or not. Funny side effect: if you hack SqueezePlay not to send this parameter you can make a Radio present menus exactly like the Boom. Wouldn't make sense for the Touch as it lacks an explicit 'play'-button though. > > As it is now, most menus provided by the server itself contain the > parameter in the actions/params, so e.g. iPeng will send it as well. > I can't observe this with 7.5.1 firmware ? My server doesn't send it in the menu params (tested with browsing albums/titles). Which server-side answer includes this parameter ? -- bluegaspode 1x SB-Controller+Receiver (Duet), 1xSB-Boom. 1xSB-Radio Server (7.5.1) running on SheevaPlug (Ubuntu) with attached Western Digital MyBook Essential.
