Hi... I pushed these changes for MClient (along with some code corrections :-O) into the MVPMC GIT repository.
Things that have been added to MClient over the last several months: 1) Displaying album cover art.** 2) Play progress bar indicator. 3) Volume bar indicator. 4) Remote control push & hold feature for Fast Forward and Rewind. 5) Remote control shift feature to access Replay Modes and Shuffle Modes. Things that have been added to MClient over the last year: 1) Full screen display of play list. 2) Player focus (blue) indication of what is playing. 3) User focus (green) indication on what the users is looking at. **You need to configure slimserver for this to work. I put ordinary jpg files called "cover.jpg" in the directories containing the tracks of that album. There are programs that hunt and download these types of images. Google for slimserver and cover art. Note, I have only tested this feature with ordinary jpg images! I have it on good word that it will not work with "progressive" jpg files. So, if art work is downloaded in another format, try to change and re-save it. If you store your music in a single directory you probably need to read this if you are going to get art work running: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?AlbumArtwork ...actually it's a good read for anyone wanting to add art work. Do we still have nightly builds? If not, ask, I can do a 1 time build and post these changes at mvpmc.org/~stuart if you want to try them out. (MClient is a MPVMC application which is a client to slimdevices.com's slimserver program. Slimserver is an open source music server program writen by many people and hosted at slimdevices.com. Slimserver is written in PERL and can run on Windows NT/2000/XP, Mac OS X, Debian & Linux.) stuart wrote: > Hi... > > The dongle and patches available at mvpmc.org/~stuart implement the > "hold down button" feature and the "shift button" feature used to get > more out of the mvpmc remote while in MClient.

Let me know of any problems. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
