A full function linux control point?

[Pastim]

I have downloaded the new version, and the menu right-click issue is fixed - thanks very much.

As to the volume control, it doesn't change the volume on my renderers (Marantz and also Musical Fidelity M1CLiC), but if I change the volume on them using a remote control, the slider moves on the upplay screen. So there is some form of communication going on, but one way.

By doing:

Code:

sudo rm /etc/init.d/upmpdcli

as on your downloads page, upmpdcli no longer starts - thanks.

I have a few other observations to make - I hope they'll be taken in the spirit intended - ie. a few notes, not complaints!

Gapless works on my better renderer (M1CLiC) but not the Marantz - much as expected and consistent with other control points.

On my xubuntu laptop there's no slider for the list of tracks, whereas on ubuntu there is. It's not important, but when there are hundreds of items it takes a little to scroll down while using PgDn or down-arrow. I assume this is something to do with different versions of QT.

It would be nice to be able to resize the now-playing window. Many of my classical tracks have long names.

If the last renderer used is not powered on, upplay won't start (checked in a terminal window). I get a message like:

Code:

Renderer uuid:5f9ec1b3-ff59-19bb-8530-0006780950ce not found
Can't connect to media renderer

It would be neater if it started and asked for a device to use.

All in all I now have a very usable linux control point for minimserver. This in turn means I'll use that more often as well. I hope you get many more users and get to a point where it's a fully supported ubuntu application. It's already miles better than anything else I have tried
