Hi erland, thanks for your great feedback! Here are the responses to your points: > If I enter the IP address of my server and don't select player > immediately, the display just shows "Uncaugut node.js Error, TypeError: > Cannot call method "jsonRequest" of undefined at eval > (file:///Users/erland/Downloads/LMS%20Remove.app/Contents/Resources/app.nw/js/script.js:256:39). > It works if I'm fast enough to select player.

Fixed in the new version. > The <-> button seems to close the app if I click it when the app is > maximized, I assume this shouldn't happen ? This was a bug in node-webkit, but I managed to create a workaround, so it shouldn't happen anymore. > Not sure if it's possible, but if it's possible to show the album cover > in the growl notification instead of the "note" icon, that would be > really great. This is a great idea.

With this point, I don't really know what looks better. When the window is small (< 200x200 pixels), two rows of text would hide too much of the artwork. If the window is bigger, you don't need two lines as everything fits just fine mostly. I'll see what I can do there. > It could be a good idea to provide a settings options from the tray menu > so one doesn't have to open the artwork window to reach the settings > dialog Yep.

I don't know if it is possible to let this app run as a widget in Mac OS X as it runs on node-webkit. If node-webkit doesn't support it, I'm afraid I can't implement this feature :( > To make configuration easier, it should auto discover the LMS server, > this will make it do the right thing for 95% of all users and will avoid > the initial configuration completely.

Thanks for your code snippet! I've implemented auto discovery in the new version. However, I still can't seem to get the CLI port automatically. Is there a way to find it out using either the JSON API or UDP? > Maybe you could make it possible to launch LMS from LMS Remote app ? > This way I can use LMS Remote as my main controller and just launch LMS > from it to browse/search for new music to play. I've added a button for that in the header bar and in the tray menu in the new version. > It's a bit confusing then the LMS Remote app launch in "Always on top" > the first time and the first thing it does is to ask you for > configuration of the server and it opens the server configuration behind > the LMS Remote app window. This isn't a big issue, especially if you > implement auto discovery, but I thought I'd mention it as it would > probably be preferred to launch it initially with "Always on top" > disabled and let the user choose if he/she wants to use it in Always on > top mode. This issue shouldn't happen anymore :) I'll upload the new version and let you know when it's online.
