Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] Can't fast forward/rewind any more
The SC 7.0 functionality worked by changing the FF speed (thus actually being a fast-forward facility) within the Now Playing mode. So the user could choose what to display - progress bar, play time or time remaining. There was an alternative mechanism - KDF's scanner plugin, which allowed the playback position to be set. Best of both worlds. The intention of the rework was to make a fast-forward mechanism that was easy to use (apparently some found the manual speed control tricky to understand). The initial solution that was agreed was to merge both mechanisms together, which I thought was working pretty well. I like the way that FWD now by default invokes the new "set play position" mechanism, and continuing to hold FWD advances the playback position. But the current solution doesn't support the old mechanism any more. Up/Down work the same as FWD/REW now as these map to the Transporter knob. I actually think that in the scanner mode screen, Add button could be used to increase FWD speed, and Add.Hold could be used to decrement, to use the old mechanism. That's a pretty consistent interface; the new mechanism becomes the normal case and is easy to use. The old mechanism would still be available, and easier to accelerate than before (single presses). If the new functionality were to stay as it is now, it's actually not all that different to KDF's scanner plugin, except it is bound to the FWD.hold key. ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta

Remember, you > can seek by holding down the fwd key, or by pressing up/down (SB3) or > using the scroll wheel (Controller). After you press up, when are you > "done". The current answer is a time delay. What's your alternative? First, on my 7.1 build (admittedly 2-3 weeks old), the FF/RW and the UP/DOWN buttons function identically, except one must use FF/RW to initiate the seek. Once the scanner is up, they work the same, at least I haven't noticed different speeds or accelerations or anything difference. I'm not even sure what the point is of the duplicated functionality. Why would I want to use the UP/DOWN buttons to seek? Point is, one must hold any of those buttons down to continue seeking. Thus the software knows the user is done seeking when the button is no longer being held down and thus can get rid of the scanner display. Similarly, the software can easily detect when the scroll wheel is no longer moving to again stop seeking and get rid of the display. Now to clarify, it isn't really the scanner display that bothers me, but rather the mode of operation changes when the scanner display is up. Thus, delays and additional button presses are introduced to get back to NORMAL CASE OPERATION, which is what I'm advocating be eliminated. Seeking is a transient operation which has easily detectable start and end points and I don't see the difficulty in getting the software to sync up with that. CD players do it; why can't SqueezeCenter et al. do it as easily too? Even if the UP/DOWN arrows worked differently than the FF/RW in that a single press instantiated a seek (say 2x speed) without being held down, detecting the end of a seek is not a problem. The seek ends when the user presses PLAY or PAUSE; easy! However, the problem is how to enable such a seek mode since the UP/DOWN buttons have meaning for both single presses and held presses. I don't claim to have THE solution to that problem but off the top of my head, why not the following: A non-button-hold seek could be started by a quick double tap of the UP/DOWN arrow. Alternatively, the double tap operation could be made on the FF/RW (in addition to the [single press:skip track] and [hold:seek] modes). I think overloading the FF/RW again makes for more intuitive sense for a user. Then, while the scanner is up, the UP/DOWN arrow keys could be used to change the speed from 0.25x, .5x, 1x, 2x, 4x, etc. The only issue I can see is that there may be difficulty in detecting a double tap from an IR remote; having never programmed for one, is it an issue or is it easy to implement? Having seeking operating as above, looks to be the best of all worlds, with none of the disadvantages. However, is this a non-hold seek discussion even relevant? AFAIK, this non-hold seek model isn't even included in the 7.1 current builds and I have no idea if it is even planned to be included. It really isn't a problem if it doesn't exist. :) I think that such a seek mode is unnecessary and feel that it is less advantageous than the hold model. Furthermore, trying to accommodate to both appears to be complicating the use of either. It would be easy to add the single press 2x seek using the arrows in the current model of bringing the scanner up until a timeout or explicit escape occurs. However, the current operation doesn't optimize for the common case of usage and that is why it is cumbersome to use. Instead, it complicated for flexibility (yet seemingly doesn't even offer that). I'd rather see one seek model be great, than have two different ones that are annoying to use. -- ctm ctm's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17698 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47250 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
[SlimDevices: Beta] Thumbnail problem...
Hi folks, I'm seeing a thumbnail problem where the thumbnail at the Home > Artist > -artistname- level is incorrect, but at the Home > Artists > -artistname- > -albumname- level the larger thumb is correct. I'm running 7.0.x / SVN 20402. I've stopped the server, deleted the entire cache folder and rescanned completely. An interesting note: I did try a perl scanner.pl --debug artwork --wipe "E:\My Music\Alpha\Pepper - Remixes and Rare Tracks" and that generated the correct thumbnail. But as soon as I did the full rescan, the incorrect thumbnail shown below in the red arrow appeared again.
