I'm disappointed there's no way to make this work on Palm OS. My Treo and I would be s happy to have this functionality. And I'm happy I can offer a solution for at least three important platforms, plus a few more less important. Show me another programming language you can use 1:1 on your palm/pda _and_ your desktop. Then show me the solution for Linux, Windows, PocketPC, Palm, Zaurus. Guess what? The Mac user will be disappointed because you serve everybody except him. Sometimes it's easier to stick with the masses and say: voilà, yet another solution for Windows only. Everybody does understand a Windows program can't be used anywhere else... ;-) BTW: from the feedback I've got so far most users are using SlimRemote on a system I've never used myself and never tested the application with (MS PocketPC, Windows CE and the like). -- Michael --- Help translate SlimServer by using the StringEditor Plugin (http://www.herger.net/slim/) ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

For me, when I search I (think I) get entries, but they are all invisible (i.e. you can't see them - but double clicking does play songs). I'd rather say you were able to click non existent entries. This was a bug: I was too optimistic and did not check boundaries. If there was at least one entry left in the list, the first would have been played. If the list was empty, there should have been an exception (in the black hole DOS window). Should be fixed in the next release.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: Announce: SlimRemote - a remote control application for PC and PDA
I am anxious to see if I can get this running on my ePods (http://www.geocities.com/epodsfiles/index.html), which runs WinCE V2.11 (very old) on a MIPS CPU. Currently, I run a version of the What's the ePods' screen resolution? handheld skin (you developed that, didn't you?) No, I didn't, I only re-worked it. And I do care about it as I'm using it more than any other skin. but Internet Explorer (V4) performance on the ePods is very poor ... I am curious to see how this compares. I'd be interested, too. There's a big difference between my Pentium M 1.5GHz and the Zaurus. But it's mainly the GUI that is redrawn slowly. As most of the search and browsing logic is done on the server, speed in navigating through the music collection mainly depends on the latter, not the client. I experienced big improvements when I moved from SQLite to MySQL (about 30% faster response times on a Via C3/1GHz). I've posted a question on the Ewe forum to see if I might be able to get this working. If I do, I'll let you know how it looks/works! Thanks for doing so. Michael (Ewe's author, not me ;-)) usually is pretty quick in answering questions. Does SlimRemote use the SlimServer settings for album/artist/compilation behavior? I don't know... I'm using the CLI, just telling the server to give me the list of albums, or the list of tracks for a given album etc. It's the server which decides what I'm getting. I tried it out on my PC, it worked fine but seemed to be showing me all artists on compilation albums even though I have SlimServer set to group compilation albums together and list albums by band (and have the "compilation" tag set in my WMA files). I don't quite follow. I think it's time I'm buying a compilation album of some sort... Could you give me an example, the way how you navigate in the web interface and in SlimRemote, what you expect, what you get etc. Thanks for the feedback! -- Michael --- Help translate SlimServer by using the SlimString Translation Helper (http://www.herger.net/slim/) ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

I can't get anything but the exit key to work on my windows smartphone and the window size is a bit too big. Otherwise it updates correctly and displays a portion of the album cover. I'm switching to a pocketpc soon so its not a big deal but I saw this on the EWE forum and it might apply. Not sure if this is something you want to tackle but here it is... ..."you will have to change you GUI to be Smartphone aware. Smartphones do not generally have touch screens so if you are in a situation where the cursor key cannot navigate to a button, then the Smartphone user will not be able to activate it. Remember you can simpulate a smartphone on your desktop by using the /s option with the VM and in your code you can use Gui.isSmartphone value to determine if the application is running on a smartphone. Basically in the code that is creating the forms look at the variable Gui.isSmartPhone. If it is true then you should re-arrange your Form so that it fits better on the small screen - probably double line your input fields and don't put multi-line text inputs (since they capture the up/down keys and won't let you switch to another field). Also you would then want to use the softkey menu system instead of a menu bar or a set of buttons to accept commands. Actually - generally the way you would write smartphone applications is so different (in terms of UI) that you may want to have two versions of the application to cut down on the size of the application classes (otherwise half the UI code would be used on one platform and the other half on the other platform). Also - if the user says that he can't get the cursor keys to work even though they do work using the '/s' options - then send me the .ewe file and I'll confirm on my smartphone and maybe find out why it may be working differently - I've always found it to work the same on my smartphone as with the '/s' option.

Excellent! It took me ~10 minutes (including downloading Ewe) to get it working with my Axim and control my SoftSqueeze player. Wow, well done :-). I'm glad it's working - I did not have the chance yet to test it on a PocketPC. I mainly developped on Windows and tested on Linux (SlimCD :-)) and Zaurus.

Considering this the first public release, I think you've done excellent work. Thanks. I guess you already have a plan how to continue, but still in my opinion the basic functions are the ones to start with (e.g. choosing song to play straight from the playlist instead of skipping with ">>" button from status display ). Playlist management is on top of my todo list - the current implementation is barely more than a tab without any functionality... I wanted to add drag'n'drop for list sorting etc., but am having a hard time with it. And there are too many other ideas I'd like to implement some day :-/.
