Thank you for all the answers. Regarding implementing and solving this i thought i would share some ideas. I'm not a programmer etc so if anything sounds strange sorry for that.
Regarding briefly showing the track info at song change, i believe there are a few implementations. First of all: Requirement: Possibillity to trigger an action at song change, either by computing the time of the track and trigger the action at song end or if there exist any function to trigger an action/event at song change.. Trigger it based on the current song's lenght might be good (see below step 3) Step (1) In a first implementation i would just like to see a checkbox in the player setting next to where you set the screen savers, which basically says "Show now playing screensaver at song change". The timeout (time to show song info) could be based on the already set timeout for screensaver. Step (2) To furhter develop this, for me the next step would be to add the possibillity to specify the time to show the track (independent of the screensaver timeout and also the possibillity to chose any of the screensavers to show). This would be done by just adding another listbox in the screensavers which is for "Show at song change". Also adding a timout entry below that for "Time to show screensaver at song change" Step (3) The final step i for this would be the possibillity to show the playing songs info at the end of it and the beginning of next song (kind of like watching an MTV video where they display the song info at the beginning and end. Then another time entry field should be added that basically says "Time before song end to show screensaver" The already added entry box for the screensaver would say "Time to show screensaver at song change" I guess this could be done by knowing the song lenght and then based on what is entered in the "Time before song end to show screensaver" set a time for showing the song info. As i wrote above this would require some way ot knowing the song change and for the later part knowing when there are e.g. 10 seconds left of a song. Regarding the spectrum analyzer and the text shown. Since it's today unreadable if you aren't very close to the player an option somewhere to set the text size would be excellent. -- wiped Squeezebox 3 - SS 6.3 - Core Duo T2500 - 2Gb ram - 25000 Songs - 1750 Albums (Mp3 and soon also FLAC) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ wiped's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1542 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25479 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
