I'm fine with those limitations discussed in posts #19 and #20. I was just wondering how hard the plugin would be to write what was mentioned by andyg. "4 button presses on the SB" also seems to be 2 lines of code mentioned by andyg. I hate fumbling around with devices, and having to manually con

After 3 months of using my SB3, I'm fairly happy but I've got the following wish, which I think would improve it's usability a lot. I'd like to have my squeezebox to always be connected to something, at least so the clock & RSS can always be displayed. Slimserver runs on my laptop and cannot be
