Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Trackstat rating with remote on Touch
You can do it by hold touching an item so the context menu shows up and
then select the Rating sub menu and set the rating you want.
Via IR-remote you can access the context menu using +/More button.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Trackstat rating with remote on Touch
So, is it possible to rate tracks being played on the Touch via the remote or not (apart from using the touch to navigate the menus)? If it's possible, I cant figure how to do it on my Touch. :confused: It would be strange, however, if there is really no way to do it. Can anyone clarify this? *Server*: LMS 7.7.3 on a ReadyNAS Ultra 2 *Players*: Radio, Touch, Duet (Receiver Controller), Boom, Squeezeplayer on iPad 2 *Remote control apps*: iPeng (iOS), SqueezePad (iOS), Squeezecontroller (Android) *Important plugins*: Trackstat, Spicefly Sugarcube, Lazy Search Music, Switch Player, SmartMix, Custom Browse chaug's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=47641 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81237 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Trackstat rating with remote on Touch
Strange, I didnt have to do anything to get the rating via remote keypress to work on the touch, having previously configured it for an SB3. It doesn't acknowledge the rating change on the Touch display other than by shifting the display right a fraction for a fraction of a second, but it does seem to change the rating. jezbo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9888 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81237 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Trackstat rating with remote on Touch
I am also having the same problem, rating doesn't work on the Touch when holding down the number botton. My guess is the Touch is handling the keypress, you see the image wobbles a bit and a beep to indicate the key press has been received, but rejected. It probably didn't pass the keypress to the Server which would trigger TrackStat. On the SBv3, it probably passed 'unknown' keypress back to the server. -- wildgoose wildgoose's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23501 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81237 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

It probably didn't pass the keypress to the Server which would trigger TrackStat. On the SBv3, it probably passed 'unknown' keypress back to the server. On the SB3 every keypress goes directly to the server, there is no processing locally. In addition everything you see on the screen comes directly from the server. This is not true on the Touch, its a very different architecture. The GUI (key presses, touches and screen drawing) get handled by a program called squeezeplay running on the Touch processor. Key presses don't get passed on to the server, they get processed on the Touch, if squeezeplay determines they mean a change in the server it sends commands to the server to tell it to do something. In order to do what you are after squeezeplay would have to be modified to interpret your key presses appropriately and send the appropriate commands to the server. SP has an extension mechanism called applets which alows people to write code such as this and add them into SP. Applets are essentially the plugins for SP. If the function in question doesn't have a command that can be sent over the network it might take both a plugin in the server and an applet on the Touch.
