Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: The Synchronizer 0.7

2008-11-05 Thread SoftPhill

Hi Eric, i have been playing around with this today. I have 4 players
and am using 7.2.1. I had 2 questions/observations for you

1. When you define the player sets do you have to have a master or can
you sync, say, the kitchen to the living room and the living room to
the kitchen?

2. I was hoping what would be the case with this plugin would be that a
user defined group would appear as a phantom player. So Downstairs
would be the master player interface but control 2 players
simultaneously and it would appear as a player in its own right.
I would be interested on your thoughts on whether point 2 would be
something others might want or whether it is a niche idea? 

Cool plugin BTW, thanks for making it!

2008-07-03 Thread SoftPhill

Just got into this. Very nice app. Using it on Vista Ultimate to control
a local remote SqueezeCenter 7.1.

Got it all connected up and playing etc.

One issue i keep getting is moving the volume bar seems to crash the
app.

Anyone else seeing this?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Screensaver idea for your PC

2008-07-02 Thread SoftPhill

Had a go at this this evening. Seems to work well and picked up the mac
address of my players no problem. It is great you are still innovating
this and i thought this might be interesting to consider:

How about being able to show multiple player info and art at the same
time?

I always found it a bit of a pain to switch players to see what is
going on on each one and the status screen in settings shows player
info but not what is playing or if it is stopped or off. 

This might be a neat type of full system status screen?

The Crayon room did not seem to work for me but now Liam's version does.
I quite like it myself, the artwork looks good on my screen (20
1680x1050). It does only show my living room player artwork though.

What program do you use to edit it?

2008-06-24 Thread SoftPhill

Either for me. I am just grateful that you are having a go right now:-)

The 2 additions you are talking about would make this very usable in my
opinion for being able to see, from a distance, what is playing in your
rooms

I guess i would like the multiple player option if it is one or the
other, just because you can get a certain amount of info from the
artwork itself

Thanks

2008-06-23 Thread SoftPhill

gave this a try today but it kept crashing before it started. Probably
because i was trying it on Vista?

.NET2 was already installed.

Is it Vista compatible?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Screensaver idea for your PC

2008-06-22 Thread SoftPhill

to further what i was thinking of. If anyone has ever seen the
Kaleidescape interface with its moving artwork montage, i was thinking
along those lines.

There are some videos of it here:

http://www.kaleidescape.com/experience/video.php

So you could have modules of the artwork plus what is next in the
queue plus now playing info for each player moving around the screen so
as to save it

I attached a jpeg i put together to try to illustrate.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Screensaver idea for your PC

2008-06-20 Thread SoftPhill

Anyone think this would be an iteresting plugin?

A screensaver app for Windows XP that cycled through your players
displaying the artwork for what is playing.

I run a headless system but often leave squeezecenter tuned in on
firefox on XP. I thought it would be cool to let this PC go into a
screensaver mode with bigger artwork pictures and now playing info for
all the players on your network

Is this something others might like to see?

2008-06-20 Thread SoftPhill

That's what i thought. I always have an idle pc around and it would be
cool to be able to glance at it and see what is playing.

I guess we would need a lot more votes though because the limit of my
programming came with the suggestion.

Anyone think they would like to pick up?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Lazy Search for SqueezeCenter 7.0 released

2008-05-08 Thread SoftPhill

it is interesting that you did not get such a hot response because the
idea in my post (and your wheel idea) is to reduce the amount of
spinning and choices from 36 down to 6 and not have to leave the
screen as it were. 

Given the wheel is not that accurate some of the time it makes
searching is not easy so i am suprised at the lukewarm response.

If you do make it, then you would have one happy installer for sure!

2008-05-07 Thread SoftPhill

Hi, dont know if you have added more thought to this but, as it is my
favourite plugin, i have been trying to think of a way to integrate it
and thought of this:

Lazy search was great because we had number keys. Rather than reinvent
the wheel could you not just move this method to the screen and have a
search like below. Where you use the wheel to select a row of letters
one after the other and narrow down your selection just like it
currently works on SB3

---
Artist search
---
ABCDE
FGHIJ
KLMNO
PQRST
UVWXYZ
---
15 Artists found
---

Thoughts?

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Vista Gadget request

2007-11-24 Thread SoftPhill

Hi, i have a few suggestions for some extra vista functionality

1. A gadget version of softsqueeze (if it is a java program, is the a
wrapper for gadets?)

2. A slimserver gadget with now playing, artwork etc. on your
squeezeboxes and the ability to change the tracks (a lot like
squeezefox works)

Think it would be cool to have it all there when you log in and not
even have to open the browser

Phill
