How do you vote for bugs now?  I don't see the action anymore.  Adding myself to the CC list.

Date and time are fine, IMO, but should be little more than text, perhaps at the bottom of the screen.  Now Playing should try to maximize the size of the artwork image, and also display the standard track title, album name and artist.  That doesn't leave much room for a clock.

One idea might be to permit some customization of what is displayed at the bottom of the screen, with choices similar to those on the SB2/3: Progress bar, time, date & time, progress bar + time, nothing, etc.

Jim, I think I agree.  Please also see bug 10461 which also has some discussion about options to control the NP text size.

More NP screen stuff for you, matt.

FWIW: we can use our title bar to display more than just "Now Playing" at all times.  The tilebar is an excellent opportunity to cycle in and out info. 

eg./
Now Playing (wait 4secs) -> "music source name" (wait 4secs) -> Time (repeat)

Now Playing - Pandora - 11:32am

I like Noah's idea. Putting time (and date!--user configurable?) in the title bar would be great. Wouldn't eat screen real estate and would be incredibly handy.

this should also be accessible from some menu option to see the date/time

I can see it as a user-configurable option in settings, and in the "now playing" screensaver (or a version of it).  But there is no room for this in the default now playing screen (I mean practically, not technically).  Almost every pixel is accounted for, including the title area (though this is where the user-configurable-option version would go).  And we haven't even made final decisions yet on location of alarm and sleep icons etc.

Rough spec for this screen is in progress http://embargo.wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Now_Playing_design_spec

Apologies, misread the request.  the "ability to display" can be supported (user setting) - but I'm not recommending it in the default screen.

I have no particular opinion as to whether this is part of the default NP or not, but I think it's a very useful option.  As someone who has their main player turned on and playing something most of the time, I'd really like to be able to just glance at it to see the time (and maybe the date).

I suppose what I'd really like to see in the long term is the ability, similar to Michael's MIS plugin for IP3K, to edit which items are displayed in those various 9 (or 12, or 16) areas and be able to add or delete which items go where.  That's probably more of a power user request though...

I agree, having a clock in the title bar is a good option, and maybe a good one to enable all the time.  I'd defer to Noah to come up with a reasonable design for showing off the clock.

Moving to the product SqueezePlay because this bug appears to apply to any player based on that application code.  Feel free to move it back if it's specific to the single original product.

Reset priority before triage.

we've added this for baby/controller, probably won't make it in fab4

Touch has a larger screen than SBC or Radio, but does not have a clock on NP.

Matt: would this be yours to design?  or Ben's to implement?

moving current p2 bugs to p3 to make room for moving p1.5 bugs to p2

Administrative move of 7.5 bugs. All P2, P3, P4 being downgraded one level. Will then split P1s.
