Maybe I should clarify a bit: I can see various pre-set styles in custom clock that I can modify; and I understand all I need to do is to put my string GENRE: TITLE.Track: TRACKNUMLength: DURATION into the "titletext" field in any of them (I guess I won't need album and artist in the title field since they would be displayed on 2nd and 3rd lines as in the default Touch screen). The question is: is it possible to pick the default Touch now-playing screen and modify *that*, as opposed to the ones that were created from scratch by others? -- ulvi ulvi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4763 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75410 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Thanks Erland for the detailed info. I am trying to create a now playing screen which is identical to the default Touch screen (with the album art on the left, and title, artist, and album in 3 lines on the right), except I want the title line to display my customized: GENRE: TITLEPerformer(s): ARTISTAlbumTitle: ALBUMTrack: TRACKNUMLength: DURATION Is there an easy way to do this in custom clock applet? -- ulvi ulvi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4763 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75410 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Title formatting in Touch (squeezeplay)
I would like to try the custom clock applet when I find the time. But at the risk of sounding lazy, how do I, for example, set the title display to read: GENRE: TITLEPerformer(s): ARTISTAlbumTitle: ALBUMTrack: TRACKNUMLength: DURATION which is what I have it set on my SB3?

[SlimDevices: Touch] firmware 8804
just installed the newest firmware and each time i reboot or start the local music server I get the message "Local music service has been stopped due to a problem." I only have a SD card attached to Touch with no music files on it (only JPGs). So while this is not really a problem for my usage right now, it wasn't happening with the prior firmwares, and probably is something that needs a fix. Does anyone else have the same issue with the latest firmware? -- ulvi ulvi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4763 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79136 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

[SlimDevices: Touch] loss of home menu
When Touch is set up with the "screen off" screensaver when "off", and I turn it off and on again, I loose the home menu. The screen that comes up is blank apart from "Current Playlist" displayed in the title area. It is not possible to go to any other screen, either with the remote or the touchscreen interface. The various remote buttons have no effect other than the volume button which still works. Strangely, if I load a bunch of tracks from the SBS, they show up and play fine, but still I can't switch to home menu. The only way to fix this is a reboot.

Ah, thank you! I wasn't aware of this; it's more or less what I was asking for. I'll try it at some point as I get more familiar with plugins on the Touch. It's great to see it under development (along with lots of other cool plugins, no doubt). -- ulvi ulvi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4763 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77466 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

I could also attach a USB drive with all my photos (50GB), or pay for a really large SD card. It's really a minor quibble, but I am using wifi to access my music, and don't want a large and (at least occasionally) noisy HD sitting next to my Touch.

[SlimDevices: Touch] image viewer access to network disk?
As far as I can figure out, Touch's image viewer cannot access any directories other than on the local disk (or memory card) attached to the device. Did anyone discover a way to get around this? Seeing that the screen looks much better than I thought it would (actually I am impressed with the overall aesthetic design of the Touch quite a bit; it's a definite step up from SB3), I am wondering how hard could it be to give the image viewer access to any disc on the WiFi network. Surely not that hard? It would be nice to have it function as a digital picture frame when not playing music. -- ulvi ulvi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4763 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77466 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch hits Slickdeals - 225$ from Logitech if honored
The confusion may stem from the use of the UK flag as the icon for English language text on the packaging. I think using the UK flag to indicate English in a multi-lingual context is pretty much universal. It looks like the external box design and text is identical worldwide. As pointed out, the plug shape is probably the only thing in the box that's different for different countries. -- ulvi ulvi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4763 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77298 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Local music service has been stopped due to a problem
This may or may not be practical in your case, but one way to diagnose the issue is to hook up your drive to a computer with squeezebox server installed, and let it scan the same directory of music files. If it fails there you can then read out from the diagnostics exactly which file(s) it's having trouble with. -- ulvi ulvi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4763 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77322 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
[SlimDevices: Touch] Title formatting in Touch (squeezeplay)
Why is it that the title format in squeezeplay (and, I am assuming, in Touch) not customizable? I would like to have the same customized scrolling title formatted as I have in my current squeezebox classic. Currently on squeezeplay this display appears to have the fixed format of "TITLE" only (unless I missed something). The other two scrolling lines on the squeezeplay display are ARTIST and ALBUM, and as fasr as I can tell, these are also fixed format (why can't I change one of them to GENRE, for example?)
