I'm afraid not -- NoSetup does half of what I want, prevent setup changes, but doesn't take care of the other half -- making the Squeezebox easy for my very young kid to use. I'm waiting for delivery of a universal remote to use with this (at which time I can do more testing & release it officially), but I've got a version of the plugin written and in my testing area. Info about it is at http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/KidsPlay.html I'm still considering how to handle held buttons and repeated button presses. The current code has logic to help deal with both (after pressing a button & invoking a KidsPlay macro, that button will be ignored until it has been released for a couple seconds), but I fear it's a poor compromise between accommodating juvenile dexterity and maintaining usability for adults. That's especially true for the Boom overrides (for quite a while I've wanted options for customizing the Boom preset buttons, so I added the ability to redefine them in addition to JVC buttons). I'm not even sure I like the KidsPlay name -- the ability to map sets of CLI commands to Boom preset buttons has little to do with juvenile use. But I had to call it something... did I mention it's not in my official release repo yet? -- peterw http://www.tux.org/~peterw/ free plugins: http://www.tux.org/~peterw/#slim AllQuiet BlankSaver ContextMenu FuzzyTime KitchenTimer PlayLog PowerCenter/BottleRocket SaverSwitcher SettingsManager SleepFade StatusFirst SyncOptions VolumeLock ------------------------------------------------------------------------ peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54565 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
