>From a development perspective it could get a bit complex in some cases and there are some special cases, for example it currently restarts from the first item if the list of games changes during the cycling period. The visibility time can't easily be changed after the item is shown in the current solution, because the logic is based on ordering the items within the same visibility order, so I think we might want to ignore this special case. For scrolling items, we would probably want to make it wait until it had scrolled though the whole item but I'm not sure how easy that's going to be to implement. Another issue is if you have a non switching item in the same visibility order as a switching item. If the items decide for them self how long they are going to be displayed, this means that the non switching item will be displayed a lot shorter than the switching item. So in this case all items with empty visiblity time should probably calculate their own time, but if it's shorter than the item with the maximum visibility time within the same visibility order, they would use the maximum visibility time instead. Anyway, I agree with you from a user perspective, but I think I would prefer to add this kind of functionality in a future version since it will get a bit complex in some cases and requires some time to be implemented correctly. Maybe you could just set the visibility time a bit longer at the moment to make sure it works fairly good in most cases ? -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info) (Install my plugins through Extension Downloader) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library, Title Switcher and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.isaksson.info/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77864 _______________________________________________ jive mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/jive
