[slim] Re: FF very rough
Using one button for Fast Forward and Next track is pretty common in an audio player. Nothing wrong with that. What complicates matters is that holding the button does not do a standard fast forward (one that forwards at a specific rate while holding and starts normal playback once released). I understand trying to get the extra functionality in, but this is just a poor design. It's one of the only faults I can immediately point out with the standard remote configuration. -- MelonMonkey Bruno *'Twisted Melon - Fine Mac OS Software' (http://twistedmelon.com) | 'mira - Personal Control for your Apple Remote' (http://twistedmelon.com)* MelonMonkey's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8466 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31778 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I have 3 dvd players, and oddly all three work by working up through 2x, 8x, 32x and go back to play on PLAY. It doesn't work for you, that's fair, but this point has been brought up every time and it doesn't carry. -kdf ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Are there any additional ways of modifying custom.map to tweak fwd_scan/rew_scan so that the ramping from x2,x4,x8 etc. is automatically done on continued hold (similar to how volume ramps ups)? -- Yannzola Yannzola's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=874 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31778 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

It might be possible to adjust the map to do 'fwd_scan' on 'fwd_scan.hold', then 'play' on 'fwd_scan.hold_release', but I've never tried it. -kdf ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I just realized another way, possibly better way of doing this, and may be possible now with a programmable remote. Quick Taps of FF button should increase FF speed. A seperate button should do next track. -- mswlogo mswlogo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9090 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31778 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I've not tried this but... if there are a couple of buttons on the remote you are not using, you could very easily redefine them using the custom.map facility to correspond to skip forward and skip back, say... If you want to use keys on a programmable remote that's fine, you'll just have to make sure you capture the IR and configure it into the slimserver .IR file. Sorry I don't have the detail of how to do this, but there is a fair chance someone has trodden this path before. Of course, if you are the first I'm sure you'll post back here!

If you hold the FWD button for a few seconds it should begin to play at 2x, then 4x, then 8x, etc etc. If you tap the FWD button it will skip to the next song, yes this is by design. This seems intuitive to me. -- Ross L Ross Levine - Slim Devices Technical Support [EMAIL PROTECTED] - +1.650.210.9400 ext. 3 Ross L's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4416 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31778 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
