Re: [slim] What causes the equalizer like display to change?
I agree with Nostromo. Keep the defaults as basic and common as possible. If a second click gave extended information of what's "Now Playing" then that might make sense. But Changing the cute but gimicky VU meters doesn't tell me squat more about what's now playing, in fact another click may give me less VU meters. They are completely unrelated. I admit I'm new and I should note I'm running the large text (which at some places is not as user friendly because info is clipped). So sometimes I hit a button and something changes but it's out of view. My brain often, confused, thinks maybe I didn't hit it or if I hit it again I'll get what I wanted or expected. It's good it's configurable though. I know it's hard to please everyone. -- mswlogo mswlogo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9090 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34449 ___ discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] What causes the equalizer like display to change?
Like I said, the basic idea is good. But having to cycle through all those 8 or 9 views(most of them have no real function anyway, they're purely aesthetic) is a pain in the ass, IMO. By default, you should be able to cycle through only a couple of different, and useful views, like "remaining time" and "elapsed time". If someone wants to add more views, they're free to do so. And, yes, I know I can modify it. And I did. I'm just saying that, by default, it should work the way most people want it to work. My guess is that most people don't care if they're able to cycle through the small VU and spectrum analyzer with the remote. -- Nostromo Nostromo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6322 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34449 ___ discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] What causes the equalizer like display to change?
There really is no pleasing some people. "Now Playing" displays some info about what is playing. Press it again to get a different view of what is playing. This is quite a common approach to a UI. Another way of looking at this is that everyone wants their own way of looking at stuff on the display - but no-one wants a remote with 500 buttons on it. So buttons have to be overloaded. If you don't like it, its *really* easy to change the config so you just have one or two valid options to cycle through...

Re: [slim] What causes the equalizer like display to change?
I agree with mswlogo. I think its confusing, not to mention a pain in the ass. If I press on "now playing" a second time by mistake, you have to cycle through all the the display options. Pressing "now playing" should only display "remaining time" and "elapsed time". If you want to change other things in the now playing screen, do so in Slim Server. -- Nostromo Nostromo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6322 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34449 ___ discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] What causes the equalizer like display to change?
Of course !!! If these guys designed a car... Turn steering wheel right, beeps horn. But only when in 3rd gear. It assumes your trying to cut someone off. If in 2nd gear it opens the right rear window because it assumes your driving a country road. Only happens if temp between 70-80 and the AC is off. A left turn in 4th gear reclines the passenger seat, only if the rear seat is not occupied. ... -- mswlogo mswlogo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9090 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34449 ___ discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] What causes the equalizer like display to change?
It changes when you press "Now Playing". If you want to remove some or all of the options, go to Player Settings - Basic - Now Playing Information and change each setting you don't want to (blank). Or just press Now Playing a few times...
