I don't really use my Nexus as a controller and definitely do not want any controller Apps to keep running in the background.
On iOS, you can't really keep the App running in the background and even when you do, with iPeng I shut down all connections to servers other than the one the current player uses. > > Anyway, it just seemed like a lot of extra code to make one feature a > bit better > OK, I assumes you did already have that because you are communicating to both MySB and LMS anyway. If it's a change it might not be worth it except.... You need it for intelligent server switching and to switch players well between servers. I agree having more than one real server is a somewhat remote use case, however, I do have quite a number of users who use both the server on a computer and a USB drive on a Touch. > > Hey pippin, you know the way a mini controller appears in the > notification area when the app goes into the background but stays > connected, it that something that could be done on IOS? No, you can't do that on iOS, it's the biggest advantage I see for Android, especially widgets.... And my biggest disappointment so far because all the widgets I have for mail, twitter and facebook don't update while the device is on, they only do that when it wakes up from sleep. Probably for communication overhead and power consumption reasons. But that way they are useless. If I see my mail status of three hours ago and have to open the mail software to see whether something new came in (the fact aside that that, TOO, doen't manage to update properly), the widget is useless. Err... regarding your mini controller feature... how do I get that? I didn't find it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96757 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
