I hate it when product teams take away existing functionality, particularly when it was something I depend on. Not everyone wants to sit right in front of the display to use the interface. I note that the bug you reference was marked resolved back in 2008, so I doubt any of the developers are likely to be looking at it. eric -- EricBergan EricBergan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4746 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83578 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] How to jump to favorite by remote control?
One of my SB3s just died, so I have a Touch coming to replace it. I had been running 7.2.1 server, and saw I needed to upgrade to support the Touch, so went ahead and did that. But now, I can't see how to set up my favorites to trigger from the remote control? I see references to "favorites" and "presets", but nothing about tying them back to the controls on the remote. This is an big deal for me, because my SBs live in a closed equipment closet - I can't see the screen to navigate with the remote. I had programmed my Harmony with specific favorites tied to playlists, so I could switch easily. Has this functionality really been removed? eric -- EricBergan EricBergan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4746 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83578 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
