Settings consolidation: About, Information, NETWORK_STATUS_ETH0, NETWORK_STATUS_WLAN0, System Diagnostics
Last modified: 2009-09-08 09:11:46 UTC
Under settings we have a bunch of redundant and dispersed information that should be consolidated a bit, including: About Information NETWORK_STATUS_ETH0 NETWORK_STATUS_WLAN0 System Diagnostics I think "About" should only have credit/license/copyright information and the other stuff should be combined into one single place for status information. Matt, can you work on the wording and organization? Some of this may be applicable for the MP needs for setup/diagnostics, with a more complete solution for 7.4
I'm removing the NETWORK_STATUS_ETH0, NETWORK_STATUS_WLAN0 menus for the MP firmware, as System Diagnostics displays better information.
matt: anything else you want done for MP?
In the current "Diagnostics" screen, please change the string "Version" to "Firmware Version" , "Player id" to "Player ID" , and "Squeezecenter" to "Squeezebox software" . Also per Dan's request: The 3 SqueezeCenter tests report results from the SN tests; if you have not yet connected to a SC, these should instead report "not connected". That should be good enough for MP. Very nice-to-have for MP: show SC by computer name (per Dan's request). I think this would require another line for everything to fit, so you'd have "Squeezecenter software: connected," then on the next line (indented like the others) "Library name: [computer name]" Everything else can be dealt with in 7.4. Thanks in advance!
Is it necessary to break up Information into a menu with seven items and then seven subscreens? Why not place _all_ of the information on one Information screen, with appropriate headers? Look at how its done on the Information page in the web interface. Imagine the page in the web ui having seven buttons leading to seven subpages. There's no reason to do this. Use the additional display real estate and the scrolling ability to make the interface easier to use.
Fixed text, SC "Not connected" when connected to SN, and added "Library name" in r5188.
