I'm not sure if the following comments are related to perl 5.8.8 or if it's a more general issues, but both my production setup and development setup is using 5.8.8 at the moment and I don't want to upgrade the OS on any of them and this is required to be able to easily install a newer perl version on Ubuntu. 1. Generally, really great work! I wish we would have seen something like this when Logitech decided to move from Classic interface to the new Default interface, but I guess the web browsers might not have been ready for it back then. The performance is really great in my relatively small library, a lot better than the standard Default skin in LMS. 2. The "Artist" field in Currently Playing is always empty in my library. When viewing the standard Song Info page in LMS web interface I see "Album Artist" but not "Artist". I also tried it on compilation albums where LMS displays both "Artist" and "Album Artist" in the Song Info page and for these your interface seems to work properly but not for normal albums which is at least 95% of the library. 3. When I modify the playlist using the standard LMS web interface the current playlist in your GUI is not updated. It's not even refreshed when the track changes. This also makes the Album, Artist/Album, Artist/Tracks tabs in currently playing confused because they show the information for the track that was previously in the same position in current playlist. 4. I had some issue with the "Album" tab showing the wrong album initially but after a while it started to work, not sure what triggered it. 5. It only displays the first genre in currently playing view even if I have tagged the track with multiple genres. 6. I'd really like drag & drop in current playlist to be able to re-order tracks. 7. What about displaying ratings with real graphical rating stars and allow the user to change rating directly by clicking on the stars, or at least offer it for currently playing track in the header or currently playing view ? 8. It's a bit confusing when browsing and you don't have an easy way to go back up. Yes, I know you can click on "Music Library" tab to get back but it took a while until I realized that. 9. Is there any way to show the real icons in the browse tree when browsing radio stations instead of just showing the note icon ? I see the real icons when hovering the mouse above the item but not directly in the list. 10. When browsing into a playlist, it would be really great to be able to reorder tracks with drag & drop. 11. In the Library Statistics view, I'd really love to be able to browse into the statistics, for example when I'm looking at it I might see some strange genre or even "No Genre", I'd love to be able to view which tracks/albums that are inside it. 12. If possible, I'd like to double click on a favorite to play it. Having to drag it to the Play button is a bit awkward. 13. An opml favorite doesn't seem to work, I just get a forever spinning wheel and then it crashed the computer on the server side within a minute because it run out of memory, feels like some kind of forever ending loop or something. I setup http://opml.radiotime.com as a favorite. 14. When browsing I'd like to click or double click on a track to add it to current playlist, the current behavior where I have to drag it to the play icon in the upper right corner feels confusing and awkward. 15. You are probably already aware of this but to make this useful for more music it also needs support for the online services and not just internet radio, I'm for example thinking about Spotify. 16. Hitting enter in the search field in the "Search" menu should work to execute the search in same way as it does in the search box in the upper right corner of the interface. 17. Support for Custom Browse plugin menus in a tree structure similar to how you handle Radio browsing would be great. 18. I wonder if would be a good idea to set a minimum size of the Window, currently it doesn't work anyway if you size it too small because then buttons and other stuff starts to disappear. I first thought this was a bug where some buttons were cut in the middle but then I realized that it was caused by me having too small window. 19. I'm not sure it makes sense to have the scroll bar at the top to be able to change track, feels strange, I think you can use that space for something better. Finally, I'd love to see this evolve to a non beta version, it looks really promising so far, at least if you have a reasonably small library or a fast server to use it towards. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98186 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
