Re: [slim] Duet Controller Shuffle Behavior

2009-06-29 Thread thomsens

Had a party this weekend and while the guests were impressed by their
ability to dial-up all my music on the controller, they were less than
impressed by the presence of this shuffle bug (had to explain to 5+
people that it was unexpected behavior and it should work like they
expected).  Luckily they quickly moved to adding specific songs to the
playlist which limited this issue.

Other comments were basically that the controller was unresponsive at
times (sometimes going to Connecting... and other times just spinning
arrow, etc.) and a little sluggish in general.  My wireless is solid in
general fo other devices, so I'm not sure what the issue is.  Also, the
feel of the dial is tough to get the hang of - it seems to jump from
non-responsive to over responsive.  It's not easy to use it quickly
based on feel - you have to be very deliberate to not under or overshoot
your target.  I understand and agree with these assessments.  I'm hoping
there's focus on cleaning up the code on the controller to be faster and
have fewer bugs.  It's the front line in the reference sale in the field
and it's not where it needs to be yet, IMO.

Best I can tell, 6 months have past and this bug hasn't been addressed. 
I suppose I could track down some nightly, but my current 7.3.2 SC is
too fragile as it is.  Very frustrating...

You guys are killing me...please don't let this fix slip again.  I hate
using the controller with this bug.

Great!  Aside from my own frustration, I have had a few occassions to
try to explain to someone else why it does that when I've shown them
the controller.  Needless to say it sticks out to new folks who check
the product out in my home.

[slim] Duet Controller Shuffle Behavior

2008-10-31 Thread thomsens

I wish the behavior of the Conroller was different when starting off an
adhoc playlist.  I think whenever you are on a highlighted song and hit
play, that song should immediately play.  In the shuffle mode now, I'll
go down to the song level within an album and hit play on a song only
to have a different song on that album play.  I think the behavior
should be to play that song first and shuffle the rest.  There's
already the ability to shuffle an album at the album level or if you
select play all so I don't understand why the same thing happens when
you scroll to a song.  Thoughts?

Agreed, that behavior is wrong (and different than the classic
Squeezebox player interface).

Bug http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=9864 filed.
