Description Digital Mitch 2009-11-02 04:18:45 UTC
Some of this is covered in thread http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70500 and I've separated it out from within https://bugs-archive.lyrion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14990

On the SB3 and Boom, the original IR remote allowed the number buttons to be pressed to jump to letters, i.e. pressing 5 twice took you to 'K'. Using an IR remote with a SB Radio (and presumably Touch) then this functionality has changed and is confusing (for long term IR users).

This could be solved by including an option (probably in Settings/Advanced/Beta)
called Numeric IR

Option (1) "numerics = preset" Default
Press Numeric = Jump to Preset
Press and Hold Numeric = Set Preset

Option (2) "numerics = navigate"
Press Numeric = Navigate (context specific)
Press and Hold Numeric = Jump to Preset if available.
Press, Hold and Keep Holding = Set preset

By moving to option 2, then IR remote users can acheive consistency between their players. 

The current difficulties of P,H&KH on the SB3 (see thread) would remain but could be avoided with SqueezePlay devices by either using the preset buttons (Radio) or switching to option 1 temporarily.

We are still working on fully implementing IR commands.

don't think you meant 1018 - probably 13779 - missed that as I think of the buttons as numbers not  letters (even though the use case is letters).
