I think this is a mixture of how I think it should (ideally) work, and how it in actuality does work, and me misunderstanding something... Apologies... Let's say I navigate to browse>artist>album>to a particular track. I then play that and want to FF thru a bit of it... I would expect to press FF and that's it. I would _not_ expect to have been taken out of 'browse>artist>album>track'. Why should I have been? Infact this is exactly what happens (strangely IMHO). So if I now want to play another track off that album, rather than just pressing down or up, I have to navigate all thru the menu from 'Now Playing' to 'browse>artist>album>track'? See where I'm coming from...? It never clicked before with the existing FF and REW that is throws you into 'Now Playing' rather than where you actually were. Mainly because it's somewhat painful to use, hence this entire thread :) So, it seems even with the existing FF and REW, once you've done it you're taken from where you were, to 'Now Playing'. And the best behaviour with the scanner plugin, is basically to replicate this... OK... Not ideal (IMHO) but ok(ish) :) Still think there should be FF and REW just like a CD player on the track you are and that's it... Doesn't change where you are etc etc... -- NeilF shuttle sn45g, athlon 3200+, 512mb, xp pro (sp2), netgear dg834gt, squeeze box 3 slimserver version: 6.5.4 - 12568 - windows xp - en - cp1252, perl version: 5.8.8 mswin32-x86-multi-thread, mysql version: 5.0.22-community-nt ------------------------------------------------------------------------ NeilF's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13059 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39114 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
