Bugzilla – Bug 4327
When Softsqueeze is selected "Transporter" is displayed.

Very trivial sorry, but i would just like to point out that when Softsqueeze is selected from the far right player pulldown menu, the Player logo to the left of that menu changes from "Squeezebox" to "Transporter". Softsqueeze + my PC is good, but its not that good! Sorry, Dom.
logo matches the player model reported to slimserver. softsqueeze 3 reports itself to the server as a transporter so that it can support those features. There is no softsqueeze logo. this has also come up before, and the answer was "consider it advertising"
sorry, let me correct that a bit. The logo is based on the player class, as set in the slimserver code (not the model id as reported by the client). Softsqueeze is now part of the transporter class: (from Player/SoftSqueeze.pm) use base qw(Slim::Player::Transporter); as such, this is working as designed, but I'll leave open as an enhancement for review
Richard, I don't know whether this is something you have ever considered, or is even possible, but here it is for you to think about. If it's not possible or not worthy of being implemented for some reason, please feel free to go ahead and mark it as 'won't fix'. Otherwise we will get to it with other enhancement requests.
need dean on this too, as it involves the creation and use of logos. there is only a slimp3, squeezebox, and transporter logo available at this time.
Dean do you have a quick ruling on this for us?
Let's consider this for the 7.0 web update.
any chance of artwork? we have modelName methods that can be used to link them. Then again, given that there is no longer a player logo in the default skin, is this even something to deal with any longer?
I can provide artwork, but I'm a little lost. What file do you need? But let's not add artwork where there is none now.
The request was to have a "softsqueeze" player model name and logo on the Default skin when Softsqueeze player is chosen, instead of "Transporter" (which was used when softsqueeze was in transporter mode). As there is now a new default skin, I wondered if it was considered now moot, as the classic skin isn't planned to be maintained or enhanced like this?
Yes, I think that this is moot, given the new skin.
This bug is being closed since it was resolved for a version which is now released! Please download the new version of SqueezeCenter (formerly SlimServer) at http://www.slimdevices.com/su_downloads.html If you are still seeing this bug, please re-open it and we will consider it for a future release.
