enhancement request to enable Now Playing window, useful for Classical Music
Last modified: 2010-09-22 11:49:56 UTC
Created attachment 6978 [details] screenshot 1 The Now Playing window is not optimal for classical music. At least the composer should be shown separately from the other artists. Also, with soloists, conductor, and orchestra, the one artists-album widget is too small. I propose three patches for the Controller: - add a 'classical' nowplaying view to the QVGQPortraitSkin - add widgets for Composer, Album, Artists, Orchestra, and Conductor to the NowPlaying window. Space for the artwork should become flexible, depending on the number of performers. - add sending data for composer, band, conductor to the Control::Queries module at the Squeezebox server side. I have attached proposed patches for these 3 modifications. diffs are relative to Squeezeboxserver 7.6.0 31345 (debian package) Squeezeplay 7.6.0 9103 built on Ubuntu 9.10 I have added 2 screenshots of the player with the new nowplaying screen.
