There are a few things that can be improved besides just making something "new". Quite a number of buttons on the top bar as well as the progess slider are not so easy to hit and even I sometimes have to think for a moment which of the dropdowns will get me the player list and which the current playlist. Also, I'd like to be able to permanently show (optionally) the current playlist. And then the playlist screen saver should really also become a full playlist because this is a bit hard to understand.
It's these kind of things where I believe iPeng for iPad's UI can use some improvement. It was similar with the iPhone UI. Doing what I did now in iPeng for iPhone would have been a bit of a nuisance when the original iPeng UI was developed, back in iOS 2.0 times. Actually the same is true for the design pre-iOS 5. Having to reach the player list through the swipe on NowPlaying has been a real source of confusion for many users, as was the fact that you could not see on the main menu which player it is you are controlling. These were real problems that needed solving. The new style then was really a case of: "it's changing anyway and we have more options now, so let's see what a cool design for this layout would look like". After all, it will probably have to last for a few more years, I don't plan to change the UI style every few months. > > Now if there is something genuinely wrong with iPeng HD and you're going > to add serious new features then that's a different matter.

I'm not aware of any real issues so far. Is there anything you can reproduce on how to cause it? Which OS is this? I have tested the 3rd gen devices only with iOS 5, I heard 6 is a real stretch for them, memory wise. But I do know some of my beta testers used the 3GS with iOS 6 and reported no issues. And most importantly: Please also make sure you enable crash logging on the iPhone under "Settings->About->Diagnostics & Usage". redline wrote: > Have had the same problem for over a year, this only happens to the 3'rd > party spotify plugin. > Um... Which problem exactly? I did not fully understand what exactly you are doing and what problem you are seeing? iPeng crashes if you use Triode's Spotify plugin? When playing in iPeng or on a Squeezebox? And what do you mean by "jumping around in a number of playlists"? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51929 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
