Won't be able to do much testing here in the short term, Peter, since my time is focused on fixing Radio alarm functionality. This is fabulous stuff, though! Thanks very much for this excellent enhancement. Maybe I'll be able to get some testing in next week sometime after my daughter has g

I thought about waiting until the 25th to post this, but I expect I won't have much time to do additional testing, so here goes... If you're game, I just posted a version 2.4.0 to my *test* repository, http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/slim7/repodata-test.xml, that implements the second option. If

I'll give it some thought. My initial goal with KidsPlay was making a kid-ready IR remote, and I wanted the kid's remote to do the same thing on all players, thus the global configuration. But I understand where you're coming from. There are three obvious approaches: - per-player macros for

2009-12-19 Thread Marc
I've got Kidsplay installed (very nice tool, Peter, thank you), but am wondering if there is a way to bypass the global preset button behavior that seems to be required...? Global behavior is very useful in some cases, but context sensitive behavior is certainly needed too. I understand that if
