Re: [slim] Fat Gooey for Slim Server
I have added some features to enable Playlist construction and fixed some bugs. The current version is at my web site (www.the-gordons.net). There is now an expand command to expand any library listing (eg artists) down to songs so they can be selectively added to the playlist. Ther is also now a screensaver that is a standard windows screensaver that will show you what is currently playing. In addition if the player is off it displays the cover art stored in the library as thumbnails.

Re: [slim] Fat Gooey for Slim Server
Barry, Like I said it seems to fit well within your home automation system, so I don't want you to change anything on my account. If art and drag/drop are easy to implement I think it would enhance the user experience, but then again if you're standing up (next to a wall that the screen is located on) I doubt you'd want to edit playlists or view all your album covers. Maybe a good compromise would be to show the currently playing artwork where browse is located, and have a seperate button for browsing title . I would love to be able to run this on a windows CE tablet (SH4 processor), because of it's lack of support for 802.11g wireless. Do you have any idea of the system requirements other than windows OS? Ceejay, I think of Gooey as more of a kiosk type home automation application, whereas moose is more of a full featured application. One is to use when standing up, the other while sitting with your laptop on the couch. -- Skunk Skunk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2685 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32414 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Fat Gooey for Slim Server
Skunk et al., FAT Gooey is completely separate from my Home Automation system. They just have a lot of code in common (the main TCP/IP code and command handling) The program should run on anything that runs VB6. That is what it is written in. It needs the socket controls from Windows/System and some others most of which may be in Win CE. I did not do Drag drop but I have implemented something that should meet your needs (see Expand in the new version I just posted). When I do the screen saver it will basically look like the top frame, plus a copy of the artwork floating around the screen. That is how it appears in my HT so I have most of the code. The new version makes a lot of cosmetic changes, eliminates the use of the font Arial Narrow (Uses Arial). I may go back to Arial Narrow but set all of the text boxes to be sized for Arial since if Windows can not find Arial Narrow it uses Arial. It adds a command called expand which will expand a selected artist, album or Genre to a song list for movement of individual songs to the Cureent Play list. The Library list now allows for multiple selections (shift for range selection and control for item select/deselect) to simplify Add.

[slim] Fat Gooey for Slim Server
I was not sure where to put this so I decided to try here. I just finished a program which provides a Windows Graphical interface to control players connected to Slim Server. The program communicates only with Slim Server and does not communicate with any player. It is reasonably fast with what I consider to be a rich interface. others may disagree. I am not a graphic artist. The program has been tested on a network with two players (Transporter and Squeezebox)running under Windows XP Pro SP2. There is no reason why it should not run on any Windows system as it uses no XP specific capabilities. The program is fully documented and is available both as a full installation package and a set of files. The program resides on my web site www.the-gordons.net. Seek and Ye Shall Find.

Re: [slim] Fat Gooey for Slim Server
Skunk, I will add a revisions log to my web site as I make changes. I will look at the exit issue, did not notice that on my system, but then again I never looked(:-) I am changing the font from arial narrow to arial and resizing the text and label windows. I assume you have Arial as that is what your system defaulted to when it did not see Arial Narrow. On my Theater system it does handle Album art so I have the code, but only shows it when the screen saver (which I have not ported over yet)is operating. What would you like done with album art? Thumbnails instead of a list when viewing albums in the library frame? I did that for my DVD's but then found most people just wanted to see the titles with the ability to show a detailed infor screen on the DVD. I could do that for the CD, providing the tracks have full tags with all the info. In my DVD system I (actually DVD profiler) pull all info from a DVD database. With regard to the playlists and drag/drop anything is possible. I assume you would like to be able to pull up albums (filtered) expand to songs/tracks and then drag/drop? Right now you can add to the Current Play List Whole albums or all content of an artist), re arrange it (move delete) and then save it. I guess expanding a selected item in the library would be a good start. I will do that next week -- barrygordon barrygordon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7468 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32414 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
