I'll give it some thought. My initial goal with KidsPlay was making a
kid-ready IR remote, and I wanted the kid's remote to do the same thing
on all players, thus the global configuration. But I understand where
you're coming from.
There are three obvious approaches:
- per-player macros for everything. Either lots of copy-and-paste or
perhaps using SettingsManager to make some buttons uniform
- combination of global and per-player macros. Use the
player-specific settings for a given button when available, otherwise
the global settings.
- a new conditional syntax for KidsPlay, so you could have macros
like
Code:
--------------------
if::Kitchen: playlist play /something.m3u
if::Bedroom: playlist play /anotherthing.m3u
if::Bedroom: OTHERS: power 0
--------------------
Do you have a strong preference? I think I tend to prefer the second
approach (offer global and per-player macros) -- the global page might
show you what attached Squeezeboxes have individual macros that override
any specific global macro.
