Well, My wife tells me to day that she hates our new system. Note this is simply my 30 day trial , no fancy screens, just the standard "pro" netRemote controlling whole house audio only at this point.... I could tell she had been tempted to throw the ipaq across the room...
Not good... For some reason, netremote had a hardtime finding the media bridge server everytime she turned on the ipaw. even though it was running. I think i fixed this by popping in the ip-adress instead of the machine name - so far no connection problems since. However, she doesn't like the navigation on the ipaq either and couldn't figure out how to get the thing to stop playing the same song over and over again. Holding the stylus over the playlist item in library may not have been easy to figure out though when you're used to a mouse click.... I think she would grow used to it...
Anyway, i've been testing mainlobby on my laptop and plan to offer her some displays of that tonight... I was reluctant to spend more, but it's gaining ground given the above and the fact i was able to get musiclobby and weather up and running pretty easily... If the elk integration (see irrigation/lighting below) is that easy i'd probably be sold... Looks like i may be able to do some swicthing directly on the M-audio card with the new beta plugin too (without an autopatch)
DavidL, i don't see the PPC plugins on the download from MLServer. Any chance i can get/try these? Namely = musiclobbyPPC. Right now, if she gives me a go, i'm looking at new server (unless your requirements are really a guidline and i can run on an athlon 600), the combo, elk, weather, jriver and maybe mlppc... Also, can i use the irrigation / lighting plugins with Elk control (this is a must- hopefully out of the box thing - lighting due to viziarf)? I will dig through the forums later on this, but i'm hoping/assuming so.... Also on the Sony Changer, is the 777ES the only one supported? If i pop both dvds and cds in the same box, how will i handle the musiclobby vs dvdlobby as a controller? or do i have to go through dvd lobby to pick cds too?
IVB, i saw you mentioned in a recent post, uploading a recording of your last session - i am namely am interested in seeing "CQC interface" portion if possible... any update?
thx
