 (moving, deleting etc) in my mind that is the last piece that

Random play and the ability to cue an album by track number (both like 
the Fishbone interface) will finish it off nicely. :) During normal 
usage they are the only things I reach for the SlimServer web interface 
for.

 Dr. L, I miss the background.  Are we going to get it back?  Great work
 on the improvements.

Ta, yup, i'll pop it back in the next version..

 Any chance the icon pause setting could be remembered across sessions?
 I keep forgetting to turn it on, so it doesn't work, so my music is
 still blasting out when the I go to answer the phone...

Ah heck, it's meant to remember the setting - there's even code.. I'll
fix this..

 Would it be possible to make the delete key delete the currently
 selected track in the playlist as it is a pain to have to go up to the
 menu every time. Also is it going to be possible to allow multiple selections.

Yup, both of these should be in the next version.. Multi-selection deletion
is currently working quite well.. Multi-selection drag needs a little more work
I think..

I spoke too soon although this may be related to the 0.26 update. My 
Squeezeboxes stopped playing earlier. I tried starting the web 
interface but it was taking forever so I left it for a couple of hours. 
I've just come back to the machine and the web page is still loading 
and there's no music. I then exited Moose and the music started 
immediately and the web page loaded. This is on 0.26 with queuing 
enabled - I've just disabled that to see what happens. I should have 
thought to enable logging before exiting Moose, sorry.

 Well it seems to be resolved with v0.25 of Moose. It's been playing all
 morning with Moosee running and is still in sync. Thank you :)

Good stuff.. Not sure what's changed to fix this though.. Might be
a side effect of moving to .net 2.. Also the new UI puts much less strain
on the client PC.. It's still firing messages at the server every second or
so..

 Did you decide not to progress getting the track number displayed on
 'now playing' and the pop-up or have you just been too busy?

Ah, oops, yup, meant to add that in.. Got a bit sidetracked with the other
stuff..

 If I may also make a suggestion re. 'now playing'it would be nice if F5
 did a refresh so it's the same as other Windows programs.

Good plan.. I'll pop that in too..

[slim] Moose 0.25 now up

2006-03-02 Thread Dr Lovegrove
Just uploaded a new version of my windows front-end Moose to the usual
place: http://www.rusticrhino.com/drlovegrove

It's been a month, so quite a few tweaks and changes:

* Now supports MySQL databases. Works much better than the SQLite
support, but obviously you need to have MySQL'd your slimserver for it
to work (well worth it !)

* I've moved Moose from .Net 1.1 to .Net 2.0.. Feels much quicker and
internally things are a bit nicer too..

* Re-jigged the NowPlaying UI again - added a menubar, removed some
buttons, tidied up the remaining buttons, added bitmaps, etc.. Oh, and
cover-art now resizes as you resize the window.

* Added an Amazon lookup feature which attempts to find the currently
playing album. It's a bit work in progress, but seems to work quite
well.

* Added SoftSqueeze integration so you can fire up SoftSqueeze without
hunting about on the website.

* Fixed some directory scanning problems and a few other bits and pieces.

Enjoy,
