Wow. I've not ever read a thread on any other forum where such an obviously flawed "feature" has been defended and excused to this degree.
It doesn't matter that the Squeezebox has no "off" - that's not the point. The point is that its small amount of firmware should have enough code in it to handle the power button on the remote. If a message is on the screen, for whatever reason, pressing that power button should remove it and put the display into either its screensaver state (which needs a server) or blank (if the server is down). That addresses the reasonable complaint about the power button. The first issue should never have happened at all. The player, though connected to the network is still in an "OFF" state. It was chosen with the power button. When the server goes down in such a case the screen should probably just go blank. Only pressing the power button should then show the message that the server is down. Come on, this is all really basic usability. The first post was certainly over the top, but the resplies just added a ton of noise to the thread when instead some recommendations could have been made for the needed changes in the SB firmware and SN back end. Back to the original poster... Write emails and call support and/or file bugs if you want anything done or want to be heard. Posting in the forum will just get you pages and pages of noise and a small chance a nice Slim developer will catch your thread. And never, ever post saying anything that can be construed as anti-SB, even if you love the product line and only want to see it improved. There are simply far too many people here that won't agree and simply label you a heretic. ;) -- MelonMonkey Bruno *'Twisted Melon - Fine Mac OS Software' (http://twistedmelon.com) | 'mira - Personal Control for your Apple Remote' (http://twistedmelon.com)* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MelonMonkey's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8466 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31652 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
