Is that what you're getting? If not, read on... Which version are you using? I'm not sure that would be relevant unless it's a really old one, but it might help me. Can you describe the steps you go through to get this problem? Ie something like: select album/track/artist search, enter three search characters, wait two seconds, see x results, scroll down, press play. I'm keen to know exactly what you did with the remote to get there, you see. Assuming it's a track search, when you play that track is the one you get one with the same name (or very similar), or totally different? You definitely shouldn't be getting that behaviour, though (unless it's the same album name problem mentioned at the top - and then there's a workaround if that's what you've got).

[SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC UK only streams
I've searched for someone else having this problem to no avail, so here goes. The cricket commentary on BBC 5 Live sports extra is one of those transmissions only available to the UK. I don't know how it decides where you're listening from, but trying to stream via the squeezebox (V1) I just get the 'I'm sorry, only UK listeners' message. I'm in the UK, my PC happily streams the same feed, but AlienBBC can't. (It's happened with a couple of footie matches on 5Live as well.) Anyone else got this problem, or know of a workaround?

[SlimDevices: Plugins] SlimScrobbler Enhancements - LastFM Tagging
Hi All, I've been developing some enhancements to SlimScrobbler so that it now (optionally) sets the lastFM tags for each track played to be your genre tagging (with some configuration allowed). At present it's more like alpha code and it only works if you background submit (so it's not good for dialup). I am also not sure how it would work (if at all) when listening to streams. If I'm lucky it will do nothing which is the correct behaviuour, if not it will crash the server. Can I get some feedback on how interested users are in this feature. I am not releasing code yet as I want to watch it in use for a while, at least until I know it's stable even if not bug free. Just tell me what you think. . . .

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: SlimRemote - a remote control application for PC and PDA
After having mentioned it once or twice I'm now happy to announce the SlimRemote application. My idea was not to create just another Moose (which is doing a great job on Windows), but something I could run on Linux and my PDA, too. SlimRemote is slim. It does not have much logic besides the GUI and relies heavily on the CLI (thanks Fred and Jeff!). This allows to easily browse large lists even on a PDA. Every list (artist, song, album, genre) is searchable. There's a now playing screen with cover art, a clickable progress bar to jump within songs etc. It is implemented in a javaish language called Ewe (http://www.ewesoft.com/). I've uploaded a binary for Windows and a universal .ewe file for all other systems. Get it from my site: http://www.herger.net/slim/detail.php?nr=912 Ewe Runtimes are available for Windows, Linux, PocketPC, MS SmartPhone, Sharp Zaurus (very important ;-)), Java and some more. I'm sorry, there's no Nokia 770 runtime (yet? There has been some talk about it...), nor MacOS. Have fun!

Hi, Thanks for this great plug-in. I have a couple suggestions though: 1. I am using 12 hours(AM/PM) in the date/time format. With the current font size, the complete date information is too long to be displayed on the player screen. And there seems to be no scrolling function, so I can only see something like this: 9:30 AM 03.14.200 This is kind of stanrge looking. Is it possible to add font size adjustment or text scrolling? 2. Since this is a screen saver, I guess it is supposed to be non-static (at least that's how I intrepret a screen saver to avoid making permanent imprint on the screen). Is it possible to make the screen display scrolling or refresh with non-static information?

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: Announce: SlimRemote - a remote control application for PC and PDA
I can't get anything but the exit key to work on my windows smartphone and the window size is a bit too big. Otherwise it updates correctly and displays a portion of the album cover. I'm switching to a pocketpc soon so its not a big deal but I saw this on the EWE forum and it might apply. Not sure if this is something you want to tackle but here it is... ...you will have to change you GUI to be Smartphone aware. Smartphones do not generally have touch screens so if you are in a situation where the cursor key cannot navigate to a button, then the Smartphone user will not be able to activate it. Remember you can simpulate a smartphone on your desktop by using the /s option with the VM and in your code you can use Gui.isSmartphone value to determine if the application is running on a smartphone. Basically in the code that is creating the forms look at the variable Gui.isSmartPhone. If it is true then you should re-arrange your Form so that it fits better on the small screen - probably double line your input fields and don't put multi-line text inputs (since they capture the up/down keys and won't let you switch to another field). Also you would then want to use the softkey menu system instead of a menu bar or a set of buttons to accept commands. Actually - generally the way you would write smartphone applications is so different (in terms of UI) that you may want to have two versions of the application to cut down on the size of the application classes (otherwise half the UI code would be used on one platform and the other half on the other platform). Also - if the user says that he can't get the cursor keys to work even though they do work using the '/s' options - then send me the .ewe file and I'll confirm on my smartphone and maybe find out why it may be working differently - I've always found it to work the same on my smartphone as with the '/s' option. Maybe I am doing something wrong but it appears that smartphone support is someting you have to code differently. Correct me if I am wrong. Looks really cool..nice work!

There's a big difference between my Pentium M 1.5GHz and the Zaurus. But it's mainly the GUI that is redrawn slowly.
