Hi... I updated the MClient code yesterday (20071116) such that the daily build should now contain some fixes (stuff you might notice):
- Initialization MClient should query the server the first time it comes up. Before, the full screen display was left blank until some action on the part of the user. Not very inviting. - Album browser The top square of the album browser reports the range of albums and a "please wait" message while retrieving data from the server. This should have been replaced with detailed information about the album the cursor in currently on. It now works properly. The album browser cursor was not initialized after first entering the browser. Now the cursor (green box around an album cover image) is active as soon as the browser is entered. - Screen saver The state of the MClient display was misleading if the screen saver kicked in while the album browser was active. Now the album browser is automatically exited when the screen saver event ends. - CLI communications The album browser could not be entered twice because the CLI token was lost after the first try. The management of the token has been simplified (KISS) and now it works better. But, just in case, a time out mechanism as been added to return the token to a normal state should a CLI message get lost. --- FYI (album browser screen shot): This is from an older version of MClient, but is about what you would see if you ran today's daily build: http://www.mvpmc.org/images/mclient_3.jpg --- To see something like the above, you need to be running the free open source (Win, Linux, Mac) SqueezeBox (aka SlimServer) music server from: http://www.slimdevices.com/su_downloads.html ...and either scan in your album covers or use a 3rd party program to scrape the net for album covers. Details and procedures can be found on the net (google for them) or at the slimdevices web page above. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
