I was not sure where to put this so I decided to try here.
I just finished a program which provides a Windows Graphical interface
to control players connected to Slim Server. The program communicates
only with Slim Server and does not communicate with any player. It is
reasonably fast with wha

I'm very pleased to see you went ahead with this! I can't wait to try
it out.
For those that didn't see this, Barry released a very interesting

Good. I'll try it. Love the name, BTW. Fat Gooey :)

To the fellows having problems: Did you download the installation
package or just the files. I just took a look and the installation
package includes a couple of programs for Windows that I thought were

Sorry about that, I forgot I disabled the plugin for CLI. It is
opening now.
After initializing, the player shows the correct song info but fails to
update new songs

I'm going to attach my screenshot, because not updating song info may
have something to do with the fact that my control buttons aren't

Thanks for the effort. I used the installation package, and starting Fat

Skunk,
I updated the web site (Files download only not the installation
package) with a new version. It should fix your problem (so far). What
kind of system are you running the slim server on? Windows or other?
If other what kind? It seems Fat Gooey crashes slim server for those
not running
Skunk,
Also I see the text is not fitting well. Do you have the Arial Narrow
fonts installed? I guess they are not as common as I thought they
were. I need to look at the sizing of text and the fonts I select.

added to the playlist.
